Canada is one of the best places to plan an upcoming trip, not solely because of its beauty, amazing experiences and stunning wildlife but the sheer space that surrounds you when you are exploring.
Canada has always been popular with travellers across the globe, especially for those who love to explore the country on their own terms on a fly drive Canada holiday or motorhome holiday.
Read on to find out a little more about why you should consider visiting Canada on a road trip and what makes it one of the best places for a self-drive holiday.
Vast landscapes
One of the main benefits that Canada offers visitors is the vast space and landscapes, perfect for those who may be travelling by road.
Your Canadian holiday can be as secluded or as busy as you like, depending on your preferences.
With huge lakes, vast mountain ranges and roads that seem to lead on forever, if you don’t want to visit a city landscape then you don’t need to.
Locations like Lake Louise, the Rocky Mountains and Banff National Park are some of the popular locations for those who want to experience Canada on their own terms on a fly drive or self drive holiday and want to focus their time on the landscapes as opposed to the cities.
The range of options in Canada is endless.
Rare wildlife
Canada is known for its wonderful array of wildlife, some of it very rare, and if you’re in the right places you can quite often catch sightings of these stunning creatures.
There is no better way to try and see some of this rare wildlife than on a self-drive Canada holiday. Whether you’re longing to see a bear, go whale watching or get a glimpse of a moose, a Canada road trip is the place to see it.
Polar bears
Polar bears are one of the rarest bears in the world and Canadians are lucky to have them dotted around their coastlines. If you’re wanting to get a glimpse of one of these magnificent beasts, then the Western Shore of Hudson Bay is your best bet. Churchill is known as the ‘polar bear capital of the world’ and is where these beasts descend when they are looking to find land.
Whales
Whale watching is an experience that is on a lot of people's bucket lists and it is understandable why. With so many species and variations surrounding Canadian waters, a trip offshore is bound to bring the goods. It is known that there are 30 species roaming the 202,000 km of coastline, which means the chances of spotting one are pretty high.
Moose
Moose are an animal you may forget to look out for when in Canada due to their rare nature, Known for being the largest member of the deer family, moose can grow to a staggering 3.1m tall so they are often hard to miss when you’re travelling through the country.
