Canada Tours in April 2026

A fantastic experience from begining to end, a wonderful group of people - locations were excellent with lots of wildlife andculture. A couple of niggles: some initial accomodation was below standard (eg: roadside motel), a seemingly perenial problem - lack of choice vegetarian option on dinner menus.

A brilliant trip, with chance to see huge amounts of the stunning British Columbia Landscapes and lots of wildlife. We were very lucky with the weather, a great group, a top tour leader and wildlife that wanted to show off all of the time.

I thought that this trip looked exciting. I realised before I went that there was a lot of ice at the earlier part of the route. This meant that our tour started from Resolute Bay rather than Cambridge Bay, which was initially disappointing, as I was interested in the Franklin expedition and would have liked to see where it had been. However, it did mean that we had more time in the Lancaster Strait area which is wonderful for wildlife. We saw about 20 polar bears, gyrfalcon, snowy owl, distant narwal and muskoxen and two breathtaking pods of Orcas (killer whales). We had an interesting talk by the CEO of the Victoria Strait Expedition, which was then taking place, and although we were told that no trace of Franklin's ships had been found, we later heard that one HAD been found.

Mike was great! I have lived in Toronto for three years and my friend was visiting for the second time so it was the perfect tour to delve into something a bit more interesting than the standard city tour. Mike was great at relating Toronto information to the respective home cities of the people on the tour (Dublin & Detroit) so that we could better understand the context of the neighbourhoods. Great service, very friendly and funny! Meeting the local business staff and owners and sampling some food was such a treat! Thanks Mike
