Toronto Sunset,  Canada, Eastern Cities and Niagara

Eastern Cities and Niagara

Canada’s eastern cities are unique melting pots of arts, culture and food, surrounded by enchanting countryside and connectable by trains and seaplanes.

Encompassing a diverse coalescence of metropolises that includes Quebec City, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Halifax, the eastern cities of Canada are vibrant and cultural destinations with distinctly unique personalities.

In addition to the typical urban finery of eateries, galleries, theatres and museums, the cities offer everything from 17th-century architecture and oceanside bars to cobblestone streets and winter carnivals. These places combine beautifully with the remarkably picturesque town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, known for its wineries, summer festivals and namesake waterfall, and the provincial park of Algonquin that is inhabited by masses of moose and named after its indigenous locals.

Experience the Niagara Falls

Take to the skies to soar over the Niagara Falls in a private helicopter, landing at a winery for a tasting session and vineyard lunch, or watch an impressive nighttime light show while tucking into a 3-course meal before embarking on a private behind-the-scenes experience. Families might even like to board one of the whirlpool jet boats for an unforgettable (and less than dry) tour of the falls.
