Top 10 Outdoors Experiences in Canada

  1. Beautiful Bears: Seeing polar bears in their natural habitat will take your breath away. Get out and explore the outskirts of Churchill in a tundra vehicle to get up close to these magnificent creatures.
  2. River Rafting: The Kicking Horse River is an amazing channel of churning white water. For a dose of adventure, try whitewater rafting on this formidable force of nature.
  3. Sensational 'Snowscapades': Make the most of Canada's abundance of snow by getting out there and having fun in it! Channel your inner child and make snow angels or have a snowball fight with friends.
  4. Majestic Mountains: The Rocky Mountains of Canada are well-known for a reason - their imposing beauty is unforgettable. Take in the epic landscapes while hiking and don't forget to have a camera handy to capture the best panoramas.
  5. Cycle Adventures: Hop on a bike for some two-wheeled fun and pedal through stunning scenery in Whistler. Tear it up by racing a friend or go slow and take in the amazing views.
  6. Stanley Park Perfection: A walk around Vancouver's Stanley Park will see you taking in gorgeous scenery, interesting sculptures, historic totem poles and beautiful birdlife. Stanley Park provides a slice of nature close to the city.
  7. Enchanted Camping: Nothing beats getting away from it all to camp among the quiet stillness and natural splendour of the pristine Canadian wilderness.
  8. Animal Encounters: Keep watch for deer, moose, caribou, bald eagles and timber wolves while hiking through the wilds of Jasper National Park in Alberta.
  9. Giant Glaciers: Be astounded by the immense size and cool beauty of Canada's gigantic glaciers. Perhaps take a thrilling ride on an ice mobile to experience it all up close.
  10. Hit the Hot Springs: Take a refreshing soak in the Yukon Territories Hot Springs. Immerse yourself in the soothing waters of this outdoor haven and feel your aches and pains melt away.
