Canada offers a wide range of outdoor and wildlife experiences across its national parks and remote regions. We focus on trips that highlight nature, wildlife, and active travel rather than city sightseeing. Below are the top things to do in Canada that we offer through our guided and custom trips.
1. Explore Banff National Park
Banff is one of the most visited national parks in Canada and a core part of many of our itineraries. Travelers can explore Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery, as well as hike along the trails, while keeping an eye out for local wildlife.
