CANADA ADVENTURE TRAVEL
from:Welcome to Canada. Adventure travel of every description awaits you in the world’s second largest country. From the craggy shores of Newfoundland to the majestic Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada is a vast land of unparalleled beauty. A Canada adventure travel vacation offers exciting choices for everyone.
History lovers will enjoy walking the streets of St. John’s, Newfoundland, the first European settlement in North America. Nearby Harbour Grace was once the home base of the “Pirate Admiral” Peter Easton. Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island features the reconstructed Fortress of Louisbourg, where interpreters in period costume take visitors back to the days of New France. At Quebec City’s Plains of Abraham the armies of Britain and France battled for control of Canada. In Ontario, Kingston’s imposing Fort George was a bastion against American invasion. In Yukon’s Dawson City visitors can relive the excitement of the Klondike Gold Rush.
For spectacular scenery on your Canada adventure, travel Cape Breton’s world famous Cabot Trail, visit Niagara Falls (one of the natural wonders of the world), or take in the magnificent vistas of Alberta’s Banff National Park. The Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River offer some of the most stunning spectacles of land and water to be found anywhere. Eastern Canada is especially gorgeous in the autumn, when the forests burst out in red, gold and yellow fall colours.
Canada adventure travel has everything the boating enthusiast could ask for. Canada has more miles of seacoast than any other country, and that’s not counting the shores of those inland freshwater seas, the Great Lakes. Literally thousands of lakes dot the landscapes of Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. Every year thousands of boaters challenge the white water of Canadian rivers in canoes and kayaks. For those who prefer a peaceful journey on quiet water, there is Ontario’s historic Rideau Canal.
People who love to see wildlife in its natural habitat will find many opportunities in Canada adventure travel. Humpback whales off Nova Scotia and killer whales off British Columbia have long been favourites with visitors. Churchill, Manitoba, on the shore of Hudson Bay, is known as the polar bear capital of the world.
For the sports-minded visitor, Canada adventure travel offers everything from golf on some of the finest courses in North America, to skiing in the Laurentian mountains of Quebec or the Rocky Mountain foothills of Alberta. From coast to coast, Canada is a fisherman’s paradise. Trout, salmon, bass, pike and muskie are just a few of the game fish awaiting anglers.
Whether you’re visiting Anne of Green Gables’ Prince Edward Island home, traveling across the rolling prairies of Saskatchewan or hiking along a woodland trail on beautiful Vancouver Island, your Canada adventure travel vacation is going to be an unforgettable experience.
