Ecotourism holidays in CanadaEcotourism holidays in Canada
Canada is a vast country stretching from the the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful landscapes include the Rockies, lakes, endless forests and mountain peaks. Forests cover half of the land, and there are more lakes with a number of fresh water glaciers than in any other country in the world.
Ecotourists have a great chance to experience Canada's vast and scenic wilderness. The most attractive places to visit in Canada are:
 |
Arctic Canada It is one of the most remote wilderness regions on earth, where you can see wild wolves and musk-oxen herds, and witness the great caribou migration in the displays of aurora borealis. | |
 |
Vancouver Island, British Columbia Vancouver Island attracts ecotourists with its ancient rainforests with giant trees, alpine flower meadows, and seashore tide pools. The best time to watch black bears, salmon, sea lions and bald eagles is from September to December. | |
 |
Cape Churchill, Manitoba Located about 20 miles east of Polar Bear Point, Cape Churchill provides the most breathtaking and exciting polar bear watching experience in the world. The best time to visit Cape Churchill is October or November when the bears are migrating to the coast of Hudson Bay. | |
 |
Tadoussac, Quebec The most common whales in the area - the Orcas or “killer” whales - are most often seen from May through November while frequenting local feeding grounds at the whale-watching base in Tadoussac. The Gray whale migrates through the region during March and April. While you’re out on the water you may also spot otters, sea lions, dolphins, and a wide variety of ocean-going birds. | |
