Canada's North

The Sights

In Yukon head to Dawson City, a historic town with a gold rush history, where you can wander through dirt streets past old buildings. Head out for some adventure to the Tombstone Territorial Park where flora and fauna only can be found nowhere else in the Northern Hemisphere.

Visit Canada’s largest national park, Wood Buffalo, a wilderness that will take your breath away as you view wild roaming Bison (or Buffalo as we know them), various species of waterbirds and the worlds last remaining flock of whooping cranes. Nature lovers will be in paradise!

Take a journey to the unspoilt natural environment of Nunavut, a land of icebergs, native culture and adventure. Between April and June visit the floe edge and bear witness to the breaking up of the icebergs as the white mountains float out to the deep blue sea. You may also be able to see many species of arctic wildlife including seals, walrus and even polar bears.

Accommodation

You will find warm and generous hospitality at any lodging you choose to stay at.

Be close to nature and camp at one of the many comfortable camping and RV parks or upgrade to a cabin, bed and breakfast or hotel.
