Spot the Grizzly Bears
One of the iconic animals you’ll see in the great Canadian outdoors is the Grizzly Bear. At the Great Bear Lodge in British Columbia, guests can spot Grizzly Bears from a floating lodge. The lodge is contained on the shore of Vancouver Island and guests can see the bears twice a day. This is the ideal place to visit if you are looking for quiet solitude.

Spend the day as a cowboy
If you think the USA is the only home to cowboys, you’d be mistaken. During the summer months, being outdoors on horseback is one of the better ways to make the most of the heat. At the Calgary Cowboy Trail, you can indulge in a bit of the cowboy lifestyle by taking a journey down a cowboy trail. While on your adventure, your guide will teach you about the history of the area.
Spend some time in Quebec
Quebec City is filled with a French flair. And along with its French Canadian culture comes exquisite architecture. There are plenty of interesting places to see in Quebec such as the awe-inspiring Chateau de Frontenac as well as a host of other places in the Old City. In winter, it can be a little too cold to be outdoors which makes summer the right time of the year to visit.
Enjoy a real world escape in Banff National Park
Canada is really well known for its immense wilderness. And Canadian summers are meant to be spent outdoors. In Banff National Park you can spend the days outdoors hiking, regardless of your fitness levels. Banff National Park is unique in that you can opt for a Heli-hike which means a helicopter will fly you to a remote hiking destination.

Time at the coast
A beach holiday is often the very essence of summer. When breaking away from the city for your vacation, Tofino is the place to go. Here you can enjoy everything from whale watching to surfing and exploring all that the Pacific Rim National Park has to offer.
