What is your favourite destination in Canada?

It's so hard to pick a favourite but if I had to narrow it down it would either be Niagara-on-the-Lake or Sunshine Coast.

Travelling on the Via Rail right across Canada.

Did you know?

Canada has the longest commercial motorhome route in the world. The Trans-Canada Motorhome Route is over 7,800 kilometers long and winds its way through all ten provinces of Canada. It takes RVers through some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, including the Rocky Mountains, the Canadian Shield, and the Maritime provinces.

Karen's Expert Advice

Where would you recommend for a first time visit to Canada?

I would recommend either Vancouver or Toronto for a first time visitor as these two iconic cities are easy to get to and really give you a taste of what Canada has to offer.

What's a hidden gem in Canada?

Sunshine Coast would be my hidden gem as it's a truly incredible destination and not many people have heard of it.

What is your top tip for a Canada Holiday?

Don’t try to cram too much in at once, take your time to enjoy different areas.
