Wildlife & culture of rural Québec Driving the Maritime provinces
From the bright lights of Vancouver to untamed forest, this 15-day trip suggestion gives you a chance to explore the highlights of BC’s coast, including time at a secluded bear-watching lodge and a road trip around Vancouver Island.
With time to explore both Québec City and the peaceful Québecois countryside, this 11-day trip idea has a gentle pace as you spot wildlife, take in dazzling views while hiking around Saguenay Fjord and explore First Nations culture with a stay in the First Nations village of Wendake.
Salty air, brightly painted clapboard houses and wave-cut cliffs: the Maritimes showcase a different side to Canada. This 18-day trip idea takes in three provinces as you soak up the region’s seafaring heritage, wave-lashed coast and wild landscapes.
