Lovers of adventure travel shouldn't miss the chance to visit Canada. This incredible country is perfect for such breaks, with its formidable mountains, glorious lakes and stunning woodland. So, just what can you do in this ultimate adventure destination?
Canada offers intrepid travellers countless opportunities to explore and experience the country, from hiking in Vancouver Island to venturing into the Rocky Mountains.
If, however, you're keen to get a taste of a variety of activities, why not book a nine-day adventure package? This will give you the chance to see a number of fascinating destinations, as well as undertake exhilarating pastimes.
Plus, you could include this kind of trip as part of round the world tours - the perfect way to incorporate a slice of adventure and Canadian culture into your itinerary!
Among the unforgettable activities you'll have the opportunity to try your hand at are zip-lining, caving and whale watching.
Your journey can start in Seattle, where you'll bid the US farewell and head to Whistler to kick-off your trip of a lifetime. This location is ripe for adventure, and you'll dive straight in with a zip-lining tour through the trees.
Next, you can choose between a number of activities, including quad biking, bungee jumping and mountain biking.
Travelling to Vancouver Island you will be greeted by stunning, clear water and great scenery. Among the things to do here is walk through beautiful forest and canoe on placid lakes, but undoubtedly the most memorable will be going caving, as this is one of the top spots for the pastime in British Columbia.
Head next to Tofino, where you'll embark on a whale watching trip on Clayoquat Sound - look out for seals, sea lions and porpoises too.
After arriving in your next destination, Victoria, you can start to unwind with visits to historic sites and shopping excursions, before reaching Vancouver - the final stop on the tour ahead of your trip back to Seattle.
If you're keen to have a Canadian adventure on your travels, but aren't quite sure how to fit one in, why not use a round the world trip planner?
Whether you intend on taking a long, multi-destination getaway or a simple short break, you'll find Canada is the perfect destination for exciting and exhilarating activities.
