Canada’s popularity as a holiday destination means that accommodations and tours get booked early, especially over the summer months and into September. Secure you flight and hotels well in advance to enjoy a wider selection of options, as well as early bird offers. Your Travel Consultant will be able to check up to date availability and suggest dates which work perfectly for your whole itinerary.

While cities like Vancouver and Toronto are captivating, Canada’s charm can be discovered in less explored areas. With cultural towns, ski resorts and wilderness lodges, there are plenty of different experiences.

Canada is famous for its warm sunny summers and snowy winters and each season offers a unique experience. Consider visiting during the shoulder season of spring or autumn for fewer crowds and delightful weather.

In spring, you might catch the cherry trees bursting into bloom in Vancouver or over a million colourful tulip bulbs flowering in Ottawa. While in autumn, the eastern provinces of Ontario, Québec and the Maritimes are covered in vibrant foliage offering picture perfect landscapes.

To ensure you don’t miss out on must see attractions or unique experiences and to avoid local charges, Trailfinders can pre-book a range of local tours. Whether you are planning a ski trip or a city break, we have a wide portfolio of exciting local tours from indigenous experiences to wildlife viewing, guided walks and wine tasting.

When booking a ski holiday, add your ski lift passes at the time of booking at the best price possible and easily collect your passes locally from the main ticket offices.

For an unparalleled experience, consider a stay at one of the remote wilderness and wildlife lodges in Western Canada. The Great Bear Lodge and world-class tented safari Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge offer bucket-list holiday experiences, usually with a small number of rooms to maximise the chance of wildlife sightings while minimising impact on the environment.

For something extra special, why not book a stay in Yukon for incredible wildlife spotting opportunities, fascinating Gold Rush history and sights of the dancing Northern Lights!

For a special trip, we would suggest elevating your holiday experience with a stay at Fairmont hotels, known for their impeccable service and iconic locations. Ask your travel consultant about upgrading to Fairmont Gold to benefit from private check-in, exclusive lounge access, continental breakfast, and afternoon treats, at a lower cost than you might think.
