Canadian wildlife holidays
The wildlife of Canada is truly unique and spectacular, with many animals on show that cannot be seen in their natural habitats almost anywhere else in the world. One of the most impressive and awe-inspiring of these creatures are the various bears that call Canada home, from the powerful grizzly bear to the rare and mysterious spirit bear. Canada is one of very few places around the world where bears can be seen in their natural habitat, making the country a must visit for admirers of these spectacular animals.
Bear watching in Canada
The Great Bear Rainforest is perhaps the ultimate destination for bear watching in Canada, with grizzly bears, black bears and the elusive and extremely rare Kermode spirit bear all frequenting this area. Knight Inlet Lodge offers a superb bear watching location, with wildlife so spectacular it was the subject of a BBC nature documentary. Extremely peaceful and secluded from the rest of the world, visitors to the lodge can expect to see stunning wildlife safely and up close.
As well as majestic bears, there are also a number of locations in Canada which are ideal for whale watching. Canada whale watching is possible in the East and West of the country, you can choose to travel onboard a comfortable covered vessel or take an exhilarating Zodiac boat ride, making this the ideal excursion to add onto a Canada holiday or Canada tour.
