Caravan Tours offers a few overlooked vacation packages in Canada that are well worth your consideration including:

Canadian Rockies Vacation Package

Most North Americans just think of British Columbia Canada when they think of the Canadian Rockies.

In truth, Canada’s Rocky Mountains are shared by two western provinces including British Columbia and Alberta. In fact, Caravan’s western Canada tour, which begins in Calgary Alberta, includes these amazing destinations, all of which are found in Alberta, including:

  • WATERTON LAKES NATIONAL PARK (part of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park)
  • BANFF NATIONAL PARK
  • LAKE LOUISE (a glacier-fed alpine lake and ski resort)
  • JASPER NATIONAL PARK (includes a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain)
  • THE COLUMBIA ICEFIELD (includes a ride across Athabasca Glacier, the largest glacier in the Canadian Rockies)

Banff National Park and Jasper National Park are also popular locations for enjoying natural hot springs and gondola rides to the top of nearby mountain peaks. You can expect to see plenty of Canadian wildlife as well, including, moose, caribou, black bears, grizzlies, and mountain goats.

Other destinations on Caravan’s western Canada vacation include Maligne Lake and Moraine Lake, plus a Bow River float trip.

About the Maritime Provinces

NEW BRUNSWICK

New Brunswick, one of Canada’s first four original provinces (1867), is in the Appalachian Mountains just east of the state of Maine, USA. The most notable tourist attraction in New Brunswick in the Bay of Fundy and the Fundy Tides (the world’s highest tides), which can raise an incredible 52 feet (16 meters) daily.

NOVA SCOTIA

The most notable attractions in Nova Scotia include the capital city of Halifax, Cabot Trail (the scenic highway through the Cape Breton Highlands) plus the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site and the Fortress of Louisbourg.

PRINCE EDWARD ISALND 

To the east of New Brunswick is Prince Edward Island (aka “PEI” or “Garden of the Gulf”). PEI is Canada’s smallest province and situated in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The capital of PEI is Charlottetown, which is also known as the “Birthplace of Confederation” even though PEI didn’t officially join Canada until 1873, six years after confederation.

Prince Edward Island’s most notable attraction is the Green Gables farmhouse located in Cavendish. Anne of Green Gables is Canada’s biggest selling novel.

Another notable attraction of PEI is the 8-mile-long Confederation Bridge, Canada’s longest bridge that connects PEI to New Brunswick.
