Get closer to nature
The fluke of a whale disappearing into the glassy ocean. A bear’s breath misting the morning air. An eagle silhouetted against a snowy mountain peak. Our Canada wildlife holidays help you get closer to nature than ever before. Canadian wildlife is spectacular, with so many species here that you’ll struggle to see anywhere else. If you’re interested in nature travel, there’s no better place for it. Whether you have always dreamed of watching bears in the lush forests while they feast on sockeye salmon or seeing bald eagles as they soar over the Canadian Rockies, we have a wildlife holiday for you. Canada has its own Big 5 animals to spot - whale, bear, wolf, eagle and moose. See how many you can tick off on your Canadian wildlife holiday.
Canada has an abundance of animals to view in their natural habitats and we offer some of the best places for wildlife travel. We have a range of resorts for you to experience animal holidays in true wilderness locations. Discover small floating resorts in British Columbia and eco-resorts in the Great Bear Rainforest. Some locations require floatplanes or Zodiac boats to reach the picturesque setting.

Canada's bear species
Black bears in Canada
Black bears are abundant in Canada and are probably the bear species you are most likely to spot on your holiday. You can often see black bears just by the roadside as you drive through mountain regions like Banff, Jasper and Whistler. British Columbia’s coastal black bears can be viewed on a boat tour from Vancouver Island. It's a great way to get up close to the animals and see their unique behaviour as they forage along the rocky shorelines for crabs.
Grizzly bears in Canada
Majestic grizzly bears can be harder than black bears to spot when you're simply out and about, which is why a dedicated lodge visit really pays off. You can watch grizzlies feasting on salmon in the Great Bear Rainforest - a spectacular wilderness region along British Columbia's Pacific Coast. The lodges in this wild and beautiful area have a fountain of knowledge on when and where to see grizzlies. There's nothing like seeing them in such a pristine environment.
Polar bears in Arctic Canada
Polar bears congregate on the shores of Hudson Bay in Churchill, Manitoba. This remote Arctic region gives you the best chance of seeing dozens of majestic bears. Specially-designed tundra buggies transport you across the frozen landscape to where the polar bears wait for the sea ice to return. The photo opportunities are incredible and offer the perfect mix of seeing the animals in their natural habitat as well as getting close - the bears are very curious about the trucks!
