Québec
Arctic coastline, stunning lakes, fishing, polar bears and beluga whales combined with genuine Canadian hospitality is truly unique to Manitoba. Every summer, adventurers view, snorkel with or kayak alongside the thousands of beluga whales that fill the Churchill and Seal Rivers in northern Manitoba. It is the most accessible place in North America to see polar bears in their natural habitat, specifically from mid-October – November.
Québec is a province steeped in tradition and history. It is a former French colony that has managed to retain and build upon its strong links to French history, lifestyle and culture. Storefronts and street signs inform in French first and English second, giving the province a European flair uncommon to the rest of North America. Québec City remains the only North American city still fortified by its original city walls.

Using this brochure
Newfoundland and Labrador
We understand that you want all of the options before you decide how you want to travel – so here are a few ways we’re making your research less time-consuming. At Anderson Vacations, we pride ourselves on offering each client a customized itinerary. Whether you want fully escorted, self-drive, rail, adventure, hiking, adrenaline, culture or cuisine, we will be able to assist you in planning your trip. Our Canada and Alaska specialists are passionate and knowledgeable about the destination and look forward to creating the best possible experiences for you within your budget. Here we have just a few of the descriptions of the type of travel experience we can offer in this brochure to assist you in deciding how you want to explore.
Independent Travel Packages These itineraries give you the flexibility to create your own tailor-made vacation. They are perfect for the traveller who likes to travel independently but have it pre-arranged. Through our experience we combine local transportation, sightseeing, accommodation, activities and attractions together to ensure you have the best possible experience for your budget and time.
Small Group Touring Becoming increasingly popular is small group touring. On many of our itineraries we limit the group size to 20 participants. This allows you to have a more intimate experience, make new friends and avoid the inconveniences of travelling with a large group of co-travellers. You see more at an easier pace, enjoy the peace and quiet of that special place you’ve always dreamed of, and actually hear the local guide! With small group travel, you can easily venture “off the beaten path,” or visit interesting places while getting around by special means.
Accommodation Options The vast majority of our accommodation choices reflect our clients’ desire for clean, well-located, 3 and 4-star properties with private bathroom facilities. We feature a variety of accommodations, from city hotels to boutique and adventure lodges. Many itineraries feature a choice of moderate, superior and deluxe category options. Should the accommodation of your preferred category be unavailable, we will suggest suitable alternatives. Though all our hotels, inns and lodges are carefully chosen, our tours are not about accommodation. Hotels are for laying down your weary head; they shouldn’t be the main focus on tour.
Unique Lodges and Wildlife Canada and Alaska feature an array of wildlife such as moose, bear, orca, beluga whales and polar bears. You can choose to stay in very unique lodges which allow up close and personal sightings of wildlife in their natural habitat.
Self-Drive Packages
Ranches
Self-drive is a great way to explore at your own pace and it gives you the flexibility to access areas that local tours or public transportation do not go. Driving in Canada is easy – the roads are well-maintained and clearly marked, making for excellent driving conditions. We combine your car rental with pre-arranged accommodation, activities and sightseeing, ensuring you don’t miss out on anything but giving you time to explore at your leisure.
Join us in the foothills of Alberta, British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains for a ranch experience with the many ranchers who live and work in these regions. We can offer a taste of life in rural Canada or even a week-long horseback trip, riding alongside the cowboys.
City Breaks and Mini-Packages We have put together these packages to provide you with great suggestions of what you can do when you are visiting each city or destination. We will link these together with a train, coach, flight or car to create your own custom itinerary.
Fishing Vancouver Island, Alaska and Saskatchewan are renowned for fishing. Let experienced guides and captains show you the hot spots. We have a variety of packages available for all the various fishing types with accommodation from high-end luxury lodges to more economical rustic stays.
Fully Escorted Travel We present to you in this brochure a selection of the wide range of fully escorted tours that we can offer. You will have the benefit of a hassle-free journey as your Tour Leader takes care of all of the details. This allows you to sit back, relax and enjoy seeing the new sights while making new friends as you explore the best of Canada and Alaska.
Customized Group Touring Whether you are a special interest, sports, student, family or small group travelling together, our group specialist team can assist you with pre-planning your itinerary. This includes your accommodation, sightseeing, transportation, local guides, meals, and unique experiences. We will plan your tour efficiently and professionally. Bonavista Peninsula, Newfoundland

Regina, Saskatchewan
ANDERSON VACATIONS
remote or smaller towns we book the best possible accommodation available. Though all our hotels, inns and lodges are carefully chosen, our tours are not about accommodation. Hotels are for laying down your weary head after a day of memorable travel experiences; they shouldn’t be the main focus on tour. A full list of the accommodation on each tour is available on request.
Small Group Touring Becoming increasingly popular is Small Group Touring. On many of our itineraries we work with smaller vehicles and driver guides and limit the group size to 20 participants. This allows the group to have a more intimate experience, make new friends and avoid the inconveniences of travelling with a large group of cotravellers. You see more at an easier pace, enjoy the peace and quiet of that special place you’ve always dreamed of, and actually hear the local guide! With small group travel, you can easily venture “off the beaten path,” or visit interesting places while getting around by special means. Small Group Touring features activities that will enrich your travel memories and minimize the time at sightseeing stops, allowing the group to see more or arrive at their destination earlier.
Customized Group Touring Whether you are a special interest, sports, student, family or small group travelling together, our group specialist team can assist you with pre-planning your itinerary. This includes your accommodation, sightseeing, transportation, local guides, meals, and unique experiences. We will logistically operate your tour efficiently and professionally.
Transportation In addition to our commitment to service, we utilize some of the most modern motor coaches in Canada. We can provide sedans, limousines, touring vans, and 21, 29 or 56 passenger coaches. On the larger coaches, we provide late model coaches equipped with the latest amenities including TV/DVD, public address system, stereo, restroom and reclining seats.

The Deep South is just one of those regions of America that conjures up more than its fair share of historic infamy as well as plenty of music, food and natural beauty to provide the backbone to a truly memorable tour. With religion deeply ingrained in the culture and cotton picking still a big business, it is easy to see how time changes slowly in the Deep South. However, change is in the air and a tour of cities such as New Orleans or Nashville presents a fascinating blend of the old and the new. The Grand Ole Opry, Graceland, Bourbon Street and Stax Records – if your toes weren't tapping to the sounds of jazz, soul and rock ‘n’ roll before you arrived in the Deep South, they surely will by the time you depart for home.

The many little islands and big arctic waters nearby are special habitats for numerous nesting birds and large migrating pods of beluga whales.

1000 Islands Helicopter Tours
Fort Henry was built from 1832 to 1837 to replace an existing fortification from the War of 1812 era. Situated atop Point Henry, the Fort protected the naval dockyard at Point Frederick, the entrance of the Rideau Canal and the town of Kingston, which was the major transhipment point along the supply route between Montréal or Ottawa and all points west. Today, Fort Henry continues its role as a museum and historic site to residents of Kingston and visitors from all around the world. Once inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of 19th century military life: experience guided tours, scenic views, heart-pounding musical performances and precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard – a highly disciplined group of university student recruits trained as British soldiers from 1867.
1000 Islands Helicopter Tours offer the most spectacular views with six unique tours. Feel the excitement as you lift off and fly away on a journey of a lifetime. Become mesmerized by the richness and beauty of the 1000 Islands only seen from the air.

Little Big Bear Safari At Little Big Bear Safari, you will experience a unique way of viewing the black bear of America in its natural habitat in the deep forest of New Brunswick. You will learn from Richard, ‘the Bear Man’, about the life of this magnificent creature, the way they communicate, what they eat and more. Birds, squirrels and sometimes ducks will entertain you as well. The scenery and the sound of water on rapids are breathtaking! Little Big Bear Safari is not a zoo. The bears are free to come and go as they please. You will be transported with a mini bus to the foot of a secure and comfortable viewing tower, always accompanied by certified guides. Once in the tower, you will be asked to be very quiet (whisper instead of talking). For the next two hours, you are in the bear's world. Enjoy the interaction between these magnificent creatures while they play, chase one another and fight. The little ones often climb trees while Mama Bear ferociously chases away a big male intruder. On occasion, you will see Mama Bear nurse her cubs; something you will never see elsewhere, so be sure to bring your camera to capture this rare opportunity. Note: Due to the nature of this activity, the minimum age is five years old. If you have questions about the bears, Richard will do his best to answer you, all while whispering. This is an adventure you will never forget! The bears are waiting for you!

Travel Insurance: Anderson Vacations STRONGLY RECOMMENDS adequate travel insurance to all persons travelling to all destinations. Travel insurance can be purchased to cover penalties in the event a customer needs to cancel or change their travel plans due to unforeseen circumstances. Travel insurance can also provide medical and emergency assistance protection during travel, as well as loss and delay coverage. Visit your travel agent, travel wholesaler or call one of our insurance specialists for more details. If a traveller does not carry travel insurance, all hospital and medical expenses are the client/traveller’s responsibilities. No refunds for unused travel arrangements will be provided in the case of medical emergency.
Visas/Passports: Holding valid travel documents is the responsibility of the traveller. A passport valid for six months beyond date of travel is required for entry into Canada and several other countries. Visa-exempt foreign nationals are expected to have an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to fly to or transit through Canada. If you require an eTA you can apply for this online. Please discuss this with your travel agent or one of our specialists at time of booking.
Documentation: Travel vouchers, tickets, departure details and supplier addresses will be provided as part of our final tour documentation. All documentation is sent electronically. These are tickets and as good as cash. Lost vouchers will require a $50.00 processing fee to resend.
Is there a charge for small groups (under ten participants)? We pride ourselves on providing “a small shared group experience.” In the event that we have fewer than ten participants on a tour we will offer a “small-group surcharge” to ensure that the tour runs as scheduled. This fee, which is 15% or less of the “land” portion of the tour, will be offered to you as an option to continue with the trip. This fee will cover the costs associated with handling a smaller group.
Responsibilities: Anderson Vacations acts only as an agent for the owners and contractors providing transportation, accommodation or other services and is not responsible or liable for any loss, damage or injury, delay or accident due to an act of default of any company engaged in providing service included in these packages.

Please note: Some suppliers’ cancellation policies can vary, including cruiselines and rail products for example. You will be responsible for all additional cancellation fees imposed by such suppliers over and above the Anderson Vacations cancellation fees.

Regrettably cancellation charges cannot be waived. There will be no exceptions. No refunds on unused services after departure from the original city.
