Northern Canada Holidays
canada & alaska
The Yukon boasts everything from isolated lodges under the swirling northern lights, to unique wilderness experiences - including dog sledding, flight seeing and canoeing. This exceptional environment is a true outdoor enthusiast's dream.
Manitoba offers one of the best opportunities to see the elusive polar bear. These majestic Arctic predators stalk the isolated southern shores of Hudson Bay throughout the summer and autumn months. If you were a fan of the BBC’s incredible Frozen Planet series, many of the scenes were shot in Churchill Manitoba, the “Polar Bear Capital of the World”.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT NORTHERN CANADA?
From late August, autumn turns the Yukon foliage a blazing red and the northern lights begin to appear, whilst in Manitoba, polar bear viewing begins in Churchill from October.
Winter runs from mid November to April, with snowfall, beautiful frozen lakes and temperatures dropping to -40°C. This time of year is truly magical and perfect for dog sledding, ice fishing, winter festivals and the most spectacular northern lights show.
