A land of vast distances and rich natural beauty

Whether you’re a hardcore adrenaline junkie, a wildlife enthusiast or a city slicker looking for cutting-edge culture, Canada ticks all the boxes. 

The world’s second largest country racks up an astonishing diversity of landscapes: vast prairies rise abruptly to glacier-topped mountains, rugged, unspoiled coastlines give way to immense forests and emerald lakes, and Arctic waters lap upon frozen tundra. Incredibly, this wilderness is also home to cosmopolitan cities, quirky towns and remote indigenous settlements.

Adventure

The globe's second-biggest country has an endless variety of landscapes. Sky-high mountains, glinting glaciers, spectral rain forests and remote beaches are all there, spread across six times zones. It's the backdrop for plenty of ah-inspiring moments - and for a big provincial menagerie.

Feel the adrenaline by skiing steep chutes in British Columbia, kayaking in secluded bays with whales in Nova Scotia or learn to lasso at an Albertan ranch. Why not go snowboarding on Whistler's mountains, surfing in Nova Scotia's swells, or kayaking in the white-frothed South Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories, adventures abound.

Capture grizzlies on camera in the Yukon, watch mammoth icebergs drift past the Newfoundland coast, or soar over Niagara Falls by helicopter. Tour vineyards, dig for clams, or be bedazzled by catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Canada has endless options to satisfy any adventurer.

For those looking for something less exciting there are gentler options too, like strolling Vancouver's Stanley Park or swimming off Prince Edward Island's pink-sand beaches.
