Boreal forests, frozen fjords and English-speaking cities: Canada in detail from our local agency.

Complete Canada Guide

Our team based in Ottawa guides English-speaking travelers across a territory of nearly ten million square kilometers, from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Canada is best discovered in stages: a two-week stay is rarely enough to thoroughly cover more than one province. We often guide our clients toward coherent combinations, for example Quebec and the Maritimes in summer, or the Rockies and Vancouver in spring.

Four major regions structure most of our itineraries. Quebec, with Montreal, the Gaspé Peninsula and the Saguenay, offers the advantage of French language and a unique North American culture. Ontario combines Ottawa, Toronto and Niagara Falls with extensive lake regions like Algonquin. The Canadian Rockies, around Banff and Jasper, concentrate glaciers, turquoise lakes and wildlife of the vast landscapes. Coastal British Columbia, from Vancouver to Vancouver Island, allows you to observe whales and black bears between May and October.

Canada is also experienced through its distinct seasons: mild summers around 25°C in the south, winters at -25°C in the Yukon, and vibrant autumns in September-October in the east. Depending on your travel period and interests—wildlife, scenic highways, local gastronomy or encounters with First Nations—we build an itinerary that works on the ground.

The regions of Canada

Each region has its own personality: climate, landscapes, pace of life and ways of traveling. Our local team helps you choose the combination that suits you.

Quebec

English-speaking province spanning 1.5 million square kilometers, Quebec stretches from the Saint Lawrence River to the forests of the North. Montreal and Quebec City concentrate the history, but we also send our travelers to Tadoussac for blue whales between June and September, or to the Gaspésie for Percé Rock and Forillon Park. Summers display 22 to 27°C, autumns turn red from mid-September onwards. In winter, snowmobiling and dog sledding take over in Charlevoix or Mauricie. Plan a minimum of ten days for a coherent loop between Montreal, Quebec City and the river.

Rocky Mountains

The Canadian Rockies stretch across Alberta and British Columbia for 1,500 kilometres. Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay form a quartet of national parks connected by the Icefields Parkway, a scenic 230-kilometre route. Lake Louise and Moraine turn turquoise as soon as the glaciers melt in June. Altitude ranges between 1,400 and 3,000 metres, summers are cool (18-22°C), and nights are cool even in July. We recommend a minimum of one week, renting a vehicle from Calgary, to combine moderate hiking, elk spotting and nights in a mountain lodge.

British Columbia

From the Pacific to rainforests, British Columbia blends urban culture with coastal nature. Vancouver, a multicultural port nestled against the mountains, serves as the gateway to Vancouver Island, accessible by ferry from Tsawwassen. Tofino, on the island's west coast, attracts surfers and black bear enthusiasts. To the north, the Great Bear Rainforest is home to the spirit bear, observable in September. The climate remains temperate: 20-23°C in summer in Vancouver, with mild and rainy winters. Plan for ten to twelve days to combine the city, the island, and a detour to Whistler or Squamish.

Ontario

Ontario brings together the federal capital Ottawa, the metropolis Toronto, and Niagara Falls, two hours' drive south. Beyond the must-sees, Algonquin Park, three hours north of Toronto, spans 7,600 square kilometres of lakes and mixed forests, ideal for canoeing from June to September. The Thousand Islands region, on the Saint Lawrence River, is best discovered by boat from Kingston. Summers are warm and humid (26-30°C), winters are harsh. One week allows you to combine Ottawa, Toronto, Niagara and two days in the wilderness.

Maritime Provinces

Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland form Atlantic Canada, still relatively undiscovered by English-speaking travellers. The Cabot Trail at Cape Breton winds 300 kilometres above the ocean. Fundy National Park is home to the world's highest tides, reaching up to 16 metres in amplitude. Acadia, around Caraquet and the Acadian Peninsula, preserves a vibrant French-speaking culture. Mild summers (20-24°C), frequent fog on the coasts. We recommend twelve to fifteen days to complete a proper maritime journey, ideally between June and September.

Far North

Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut cover 40% of Canadian territory for less than 1% of the population. Whitehorse and Yellowknife serve as bases for observing the northern lights, particularly active from late August to April. The polar summer offers 20 hours of daylight and temperatures up to 20°C; winter drops to -35°C. We organize week-long to ten-day stays, combining aurora viewing, dog sledding, meetings with Dene or Inuit communities, and flights over the Saint-Elias Range. Rigorous logistics are essential.
