Canada Independent Holidays

Enjoy the freedom of independent touring with the convenience of pre-arranged accommodation and transportation. A great alternative to a self drive holiday you can plan your own time and add in excursions and activities to suit.

Often travelling by a combination of transport such as road, rail, boat and floatplane, all logistics are taken care of, leaving you free to enjoy the adventure, whichever type of experience you choose in this spectacular country; searching for wildlife in wilderness areas, delving into First Nations culture, exploring lakes, mountains and forests or discovering cosmopolitan cities offering fine dining, historic sights and artisan shops.

Our collection of independent holidays, which range from two to 12 nights, showcase the natural beauty and vast range of experiences available throughout this incredible country.

Some of the itineraries take advantage of the long days and best weather of the summer months, the ideal time for wildlife lovers to seek out whales and bears, while others offer a winter wonderland experience amongst snow-covered wilderness, as well as the chance to see the northern lights if you travel to the Yukon or Northern Alberta.

Many of our independent itineraries in Canada are designed to be incorporated into a longer tailor made holiday, and many of them benefit from included excursions, such as winter sleigh ride, ice walk, guided city walk or Niagara Falls boat trip.
