Considering a trip to Canada but new to Explore? We've answered some of the most-asked questions about our small group tours.

1. Banff & Jasper National Parks

Home to Canada’s most iconic landscapes, Banff and Jasper National Parks sit deep within the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by breathtaking peaks, dense forests and the mirror-still glacial lakes. Each offers a unique blend of dramatic scenery and outdoor adventure, whether you’re stepping out onto alpine hiking trails, spotting wildlife, or simply pausing to take in the views.

2. The Canadian Rockies

Spanning some of the most dramatic terrain in North America, the Canadian Rockies stretch across a landscape of soaring mountain walls, vast glaciers and alpine valleys. Hike stunning trails amid a backdrop of snow-dusted summits, follow scenic routes past shimmering rivers and icefields or venture deeper into the unspoilt wilderness for a moment of peace.

3. Churchill

Situated on the coast of Hudson Bay, Churchill is known as the Polar Bear Capital of the World, with more than 600 of the majestic animals gathering each autumn as they wait for sea ice to form in the bay. This creates a rare opportunity to observe the bears safely in their natural habitat from the comfort of a specially designed polar rover. Churchill delivers an experience found nowhere else on Earth and one that leaves a lasting impression long after leaving the Arctic frontier behind.

4. Vancouver Island

Lying off Canada’s west coast, Vancouver Island contrasts rugged shorelines with lush rainforests and small coastal communities. The island’s idyllic location on Canada’s Pacific coast makes it the perfect spot for whale watching and sea kayaking, while inland you can wander through MacMillan Provincial Park to the iconic Cathedral Grove - a vast forest of ancient Douglas fir trees that dominate the landscape.
