Canada's Great Wilderness
The wilderness of the north is a haven for wildlife watching and remote lodges have been built to accommodate the adventurous – they are often only accessible by float plane in the summer months. The forests teem with grizzly and brown bears, making Canada one of the premier bear-watching destinations in the world. Meanwhile, the rich waters of the west coast attract orcas, dolphins, otters and beluga whales. It is the expertise of our hand-picked naturalist guides that will really make your trip – we know first-hand that their knowledge and experience will get you as close as possible to the creatures of this great wilderness.
Sailing in Canada
For such a vast and often inaccessible region, small boat cruising is an ideal way to maximise your time and see the wildlife and landscapes of British Columbia and the archipelago of Haida Gwaii. The rugged coastline of British Columbia is over 25,000 kilometres in length, marked by deep inlets and scattered with over 40,000 islands.

Sustainability
Raincoast Conservation Trust
We support projects right across the planet. For example, in Canada we have supported the Raincoast Conservation Trust, helping acquire further commercial trophy hunting rights for the Kitlope tenure in the Great Bear Rainforest, to stop such activities from occurring. This will add to the approximately 33,500 square kilometres acquired so far.
When planning your trip speak to our experts about how you can also support the destinations you are visiting.
