Things To Do In Canada

There is no question too small. Start planning your dream trip by talking to our Destination Specialists

Montreal’s Fabulous Food

There’s no dearth of good food in Canada. Between Quebec City’s poutine, Vancouver’s fresh seafood delicacies, and Toronto’s eclectic world-class restaurants, travellers to Canada are spoilt for choice.

Amid this tough competition, Montreal shines with its traditional Québecois favourites and experimental gastronomy. Get ready to dig into smoked meat sandwiches and freshly baked bagels and attain food nirvana with a side of garlic potatoes. 

Skiing at Whistler Blackcomb

Come winter, Canada turns into a snowy playground. Whistler Blackcomb is one of the country’s most popular ski resorts and a top Canadian tourist attraction.

Hit the slopes in the morning, take the gondola between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains for spellbinding winterscapes, or go on a snowmobile tour. In the evening, unwind with a relaxing spa treatment. In summer, you can hike through ancient glaciers, alpine lakes, and a profusion of wildflowers.

Vancouver Island

The biggest island on the Pacific Coast of North America, Vancouver Island is an outdoor and a nature lover’s dream come true. It is blessed with windswept beaches, ancient rainforests, sparkling lakes, and majestic mountains.

You can hike through the most picturesque landscapes, go whale watching, surf at Tofino, and chill harbourside at Victoria. A trip to Vancouver Island is one of the best things to do in Canada for outdoor lovers. 

Stanley Park, Vancouver

With towering cedar and fir trees, Stanley Park, located in the heart of the city, adds to the beauty and vibrancy of Vancouver.

Cycle along the Seawall, indulge in beachside relaxation, ride the miniature train, and witness sublime panoramas at Ferguson Point. Also worth visiting is the Vancouver Aquarium, a family favourite that houses over 50,000 sea animals. 

Salmon Run

Hungry grizzlies wait eagerly in the water, hoping to catch salmon trying to make their way upstream along the river from the sea. This phenomenon, called the Salmon Run, is one of nature’s greatest shows and makes for some dramatic moments and incredible photo opportunities.

According to our destination experts, it is one of the most memorable things to do in Canada. The best time to watch this migration is from early to mid-October. The Campbell River, Adam River, and Knights Inlet on Glendale River are some of the best venues to watch this unforgettable event.

Northern Lights

Travel to Yukon to see the sparkling kaleidoscope of colours of the Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights.

The Yukon’s remote and wild landscapes are renowned for hosting this stunning medley of vivid colours swirling across the skies. The city of Whitehorse is close to Canada’s Arctic Circle and surrounded by postcard-perfect mountains. 

Polar Bears

Winnipeg in October and November is the perfect jump-off point for polar bear tracking excursions in the tundra. From Churchill, a safari in a special vehicle takes you along the route of migrating polar bears.

Besides polar bears, you may also see arctic fox, caribou, snowy owls, and ptarmigan. In the summer (Jul-Aug), you may also catch sight of beluga whales in the Hudson Bay area.
