Summer is the perfect time for adventure seekers to visit Canada and experience its contrast in wilderness, from alpine to arctic, lakes to forests. With many activities to undertake along the way, there are many different ways to explore Canada’s British Columbia region.
Take the kids
Experience the Canadian Discovery family trip with Footloose and camp in some of Canada’s famous national parks. This is a great way for parents to introduce the kids into the wonders of the great outdoors, giving them unforgettable experiences to talk about back at school.
Make memories white water rafting on Kicking Horse River, hiking to the teahouse in Banff National Park for the best chocolate cake in the whole of Canada, glacier walking on Athabasca glacier, horseback riding in Wells Gray Provincial Park, and learning about Native America history in British Columbia.
This is a great trip for the whole family and with the experienced tour leader leading the way through Canada, Mum and Dad will have a chance to enjoy the experience without having to worry about the planning.
Back to basics
Get back to nature and rough it on the Mountie camping trip from Trek America. This is a trip for adventure lovers with horseback riding, mountain biking, glacier walking, white-water rafting and canoeing all thrown into the itinerary – you are guaranteed to make the most of what Canada has to offer.
The 14-day itinerary is jam packed with places to visit, covering four national parks including Yoho, home of the Kicking Horse River and Banff where the Sulphur Mountains can be found. There is also a stop at Cache Creek – a small town on the old Gold Rush Trail.
The perfect way to discover Canada’s great outdoors whilst sleeping beneath the stars.
Treat yourself
Explore Canada in style on a Footlose Canadian Rockies tour - rather than sleeping in a tent you can enjoy comfortable accommodation in hotels along the route.
Starting in Seattle, the group travels through Glacier National Park to Golden – a small town in the valley of the Kicking Horse River. Whilst here, white-water raft down the raging river and canoe on the Emerald Lake.
Pamper yourself with a relaxing dip in the mineral hot springs in Banff National Park or enjoy the scenery of the park from a helicopter. One of the most spectacular scenes is driving through the Icefields Parkway in the heart of the Rockies – the scenery will take your breath away.
Be prepared too for some amazing wildlife – caribou and bears are some of the creatures that may be encountered along the way.
So however you fancy exploring Canada, don’t be put off by wondering how you can tackle it, because there’s plenty of options for every type of traveller.
