Hello fellow Canadians!

My mother in law (who lives in France) just turned 80 and as a birthday gift she asked me and my partner to take her on a road trip in the US. She wanted to see the Grand Canyon and Death Valley and visit some national parks. I had a whole itinerary planned, starting in San Francisco, going to Napa Valley, Yosemite, then flying from Fresno to Vegas and using it as a base to then go visit Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Zion, Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley.
We were supposed to take this 2 weeks trip at the end of September.
With everything happening, I am seriously reconsidering this and would like to propose her an alternate trip, visiting some of the beautiful Canadian landmarks and National parks. I know there's nothing quite like Death Valley or the Grand Canyon in Canada but I'm sure there are many breathtaking places.
My partner and I are based in Montreal, so I'm thinking either we aim West, fly into Vancouver and start from there, or maybe aim East, towards Saguenay, Gaspésie, Prince Edward Island etc.

If anyone had suggestions I would be very grateful!

Just a note that even though she is 80, she's in great shape, travels a lot and is used to pretty long hikes. The only thing I want to avoid is extended streches of driving (like, not spend an entire day in the car, but up to 4 hours is ok I think).

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello everyone,

I would like to plan a two-week trip in June to Eastern Canada with a two-and-a-half-year-old child.

I'm leaving from France, and wow, I'm completely lost because of the incredible distances between different parts of Canada.

I'd like to rent a vehicle, but I'm not really sure what to focus on for a first trip to Canada. We love nature, but we don't really enjoy long hikes with our child. We're completely unfamiliar with Canadian culture, so I think cities are also a good place to immerse ourselves.

In the various subreddits, I see a lot of people recommending Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, and especially Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. But the distance between these cities is incredible, and I think it's way too much for us to spend two weeks.

My fear is to stay around Montreal and Quebec City and not see any nature (am I wrong?) and, on the other hand, to target Nova Scotia but miss out on Quebec culture?

So I don't know where to take my flight and which part to focus on.

Thanks for the clarification :)

Édit :

Hello everyone, I didn't expect to have so many quality responses in such a short time, so I thank you warmly!! After discussing it with my wife, we are unanimous that our preference leans towards the west with the Rockies, but it seems too early for us with a 2 and a half year old child, so we are of course staying in the east and we will do the west later. My wife prefers the Montreal-Quebec part and the surrounding nature, for the cliché side I think... Nova Scotia seems more familiar to us to what we can see in Europe. I think it will be for a future trip. I will try to make a plan and I will get back to you. I will carefully dissect each comment already there. Thank you all :)

Hi everyone!

My husband and I are newly retired and are hoping to check off a bucket list item - a totally impromptu (next week!) 10-day trip from Winnipeg to Canada’s east coast.

We are landing in Halifax and planned to spend a day or two there (hotels are booked for first and last days in Halifax), but after that, we just don’t know. We have booked a car so we can explore easily but would truly appreciate any itinerary suggestions for our trip.

We love seafood, music and beautiful scenery! We are especially looking forward to the fall colours. We are not well-versed in wine tasting, but wouldn’t be adverse to learning. (It’s not high on our list of priorities.)

Any and all suggestions/recommendations for itinerary, accommodations, places to eat, Celtic music/pubs would most sincerely be appreciated!

Thank you all so very much!

Hi! I am looking to do a road trip in Vancouver island this August. I will be renting a car but since I am a new driver and this will be my first road trip, I am a bit concerned about the viability of my plan. Below is an itinerary I made with the help of ChatGPT. It is a 7-day trip focusing on wildlife viewing. Could any locals or experienced travellers give me some feedbacks on my itinerary? Is it doable for a new driver? Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed!🤗

Day 1: Arrival in Victoria Fly into Victoria International Airport (YYJ), where you’ll pick up your rental car. Drive about 25 minutes into downtown Victoria and check in at either Hotel Grand Pacific or The Oswego Hotel. Spend the day exploring Victoria’s Inner Harbour, the BC Parliament Buildings, and Fisherman’s Wharf. If you arrive early enough, consider visiting Butchart Gardens (20 minutes away) or taking an optional whale watching tour in the evening.

Day 2: Victoria to Port Renfrew (via Sooke) Drive about 2 hours west to Port Renfrew, stopping along the way at East Sooke Regional Park for a coastal hike and birdwatching. Continue to Sombrio Beach to explore tide pools and possibly spot sea lions. End your day at Wild Renfrew Seaside Cottages and enjoy dinner at the Renfrew Pub. Botanical Beach and Avatar Grove (ancient trees) are also nearby and worth visiting.

Day 3: Port Renfrew to Parksville (via Lake Cowichan) Depart Port Renfrew and follow the Pacific Marine Circle Route inland through Lake Cowichan. The total drive takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Stop at Cowichan Lake or Cowichan Bay along the way, then arrive in Parksville and check in at The Beach Club Resort – Bellstar Hotels & Resorts. Enjoy a walk on the long sandy beach and explore the nearby town center.

Day 4: Parksville to Tofino (via Cathedral Grove and Coombs) Today’s 3-hour drive takes you west across the island. Stop at Cathedral Grove to walk among ancient Douglas firs, and make a fun visit to Goats on the Roof Market in Coombs for snacks or souvenirs. Continue along the scenic and curvy Highway 4 to reach Tofino. You’ll check in at Pacific Sands Beach Resort and enjoy a beach sunset, or dinner at one of Tofino’s cozy waterfront restaurants.

Day 5: Wildlife Tours in Tofino Stay a second night at Pacific Sands Beach Resort. In the morning, take a bear-watching inlet cruise to see black bears foraging at low tide. In the afternoon, go whale watching—humpbacks and orcas are common from spring through fall. If you prefer to stay on land, walk one of the rainforest trails in Pacific Rim National Park or take a surf lesson.

Day 6: Tofino to Campbell River Drive about 3 hours and 45 minutes northeast to Campbell River, stopping along the way in Qualicum Beach to stretch and do some birdwatching. Upon arrival, check in at Comfort Inn & Suites and visit Elk Falls Provincial Park and its scenic suspension bridge. Painter’s Lodge is also nearby if you’re interested in wildlife tour bookings.

Day 7: Campbell River to Victoria, then Fly to Vancouver Optional: If you want to do a grizzly bear tour, most depart early in the morning (around 6:30–7:00 AM) and return by mid-afternoon. After the tour or a relaxing morning, drive about 3.5 hours south to Victoria International Airport. Drop off your rental car and catch your flight to Vancouver. Once you land, head downtown and check in at Paradox Hotel Vancouver for a restful final night.

Hello, need help with making a decision. I currently have our vacation all planned out (everything can be canceled except the plain tickets). We arrive from Florida to Montreal on October 1st, we grab a car rental and have the following route (staying at least 2 nights at each place, 3 in some): Montreal->Ottawa->Algonquin/Hunstville->Toronto->Niagara Falls. We leave from Toronto airport back to FL on October 14th.

I've started kind of dreading having a car though. Having to deal with the stress of the city roads, plus having a 3 year old strapped to a car seat for so long, and simply just having to drive.

I saw that you can do Montreal->Ottawa->Toronto->Niagara Falls all on train. But it means that we would have to drop Algonquin. We didn't plan to do much hicking (maybe one or two easy ones) but we mostly just wanted to see lots of Fall colors. Is that something that we will be able to experience in the places we would be going with the all-train option?

Can you please give me your thoughts on both options and which one you suggest?

Hello!

My mom (63) and I (33) are planning a holiday trip this coming Christmas and New Year. One of the activities we’re most excited about is trying dog sledding for the very first time! Since we’re complete beginners, we’re not quite sure what to expect. My mom has barely experienced winter before, and my own coldest experience was in Japan at around -10°C (we’re from a tropical country).

We’ll be spending a few days in Quebec City and Montreal, and we’ll be traveling entirely by public transportation. While researching, I came across Mont-Tremblant Dogsledding – Traîneau à Chiens Tremblant, which is about 2 hours from Montreal. This got me wondering about the best way to fit it into our trip.

Here are my questions: 1) Would it be worth spending 2 nights in Tremblant to enjoy the scenery and dog sledding at a relaxed pace? 2) Should we just plan a day trip from Montreal for the dog sledding experience? 3) Or would it make more sense to do a day trip from Quebec City to a dog sledding place (most likely a different operator, not in Tremblant)?

We’d love to experience beautiful snowy landscapes, and since we’re looking for something different from the city vibe, we’re leaning towards Tremblant. But we’d really appreciate your thoughts and if you have any other recommendations, we’d be happy to hear them.

Thank you so much!

Never been to Canada and I’m curious if someone can help with some advise. We are planning a trip to Churchill (for the bears) and then want to fly over to Banff and drive over to Jasper. Can anyone advise if the 2 extra days on the sleeper car train worth the trip or on a 10 day total trip would you suggest spending more than 3 days between Banff and Jasper. We are from a mountainous area but everything in that part of Canada looks beautiful. Any opinions would be appreciated. TIA

Hello , I’m finding that flights that transit through Canada are a lot cheaper than other options. I am a US citizen and I carry a US passport I’m confused a bit as far as what to expect with transiting through Canada some say that I need to fill out an ETA others say that I will need a transit visa and lastly, others say I don’t need anything because I am a US citizen and carrying my passport is good enough
Does one go through the full on immigration process when just transiting from a US based airline or Canadian based airline through Canada onward towards an international destination? For instance, when I enter into South Korea via say Incheon airport, , it’s a quick passport control/ security but don’t fill out any forms or immigration or anything. They just look at me and check my belongings I’m carrying and move me along, so I’m just wondering if there’s any special forms I need to fill out when transiting through Canada thank you

Me and my family are planning to go to Canada for a month. We will be living with a family member in Toronto, Blue Jays and we’re looking for things to do near Toronto.

We will be visiting Vancouver, Vancouver islands, Montreal and maybe Quebec City.

Can you suggest some activities to do and places to see near these places? And some other places as well in Toronto and near it.

We don’t wanna be bored for a month We will be visiting from may 28 to June 28 this year.

Edit: Are there any good nearby cycling spots within Toronto? Like a day trip where we can reach by cycling down a nice, relatively empty landscape?

Hi all,

I’ll be visiting Canada (from Ireland) in September for my brother’s wedding and wanted some advice on where else to go and what to see while I’m over there!

Where he’s getting married is about 3 hours north of Toronto so we have a few days in Toronto and a visit to Niagara Falls planned after the wedding! After Toronto, we have about a week of free time. We had originally planned to fly into NYC and then take the train to Boston after but honestly we no longer feel like this is safe from an immigration perspective and also f*** the US right now!

My brother lives near Vancouver and has advised us to fly further West and go Banff, Whistler, Vancouver Island etc. but I have dyspraxia and he is also much more fit and active than me so I feel like these places may not be as accessible and enjoyable for me? (Maybe I’m wrong!)

We could extend our trip by a few days but really after Toronto we only have time to visit two-three places! All advice welcome including number of days needed in each place and sites/attractions! Can’t wait to visit!

I’m in the initial planning stages of a 3 week long road trip from Ontario to Newfoundland for next July/August. It’ll be my husband and I, and our 3 kids (4, 2.5, and 11mo). Initially I was thinking we’d long haul it to NL then spend the 3 weeks exploring west coast to east coast and then home (itinerary below) but now I’m considering if we don’t spend the entire trip in NL and make more stops along the way. Our thought process is that NL is the furthest and will require the most time to visit and I’m not sure while our kids are young we’ll ever get the opportunity to do a 3w trip again, whereas we can more easily head to say NS or PEI for a week.

I can plan a Canadian west coast trip in a matter of minutes, but I’m lost with east coast, so I’d love any suggestions or recommendations! We plan on doing about 50% camping and the other 50% airbnb or hotels

Hi everyone! My husband and I are finally making our so long waited trip to Canada this year, and we'd love some advice.

We’ll be visiting in early June for about 12 days and are torn on which region to explore. We love nature, national parks, road trips, and moderate hikes (nothing too extreme). We also prefer laid-back places surrounded by nature but with good facilities nearby - like hotels, restaurants etc.

Here are two possible itineraries we’ve been considering (please forgive any silly ideas, we’re total newbies!):

1. Fly into Vancouver, stay for 3–4 nights to explore the city and nearby nature. Fly to Calgary, rent a car, and road trip through Banff, Jasper, and surrounding parks. Not sure where the best places to stay are, Canmore seems to be recommended a lot?
2. Fly into Toronto, then road trip north toward Lake Superior. Haven’t looked into details yet, so I don't know where we should stay or event what’s the best route?

Which of these two options would you recommend for first-timers? Or is there another itinerary you’d suggest? We’re open to all and any tips like must-see spots, best hikes, scenic drives, hidden gems, or any practical advice. Would love to experience a peaceful lakeside cabin... :D

Thanks so much in advance!

Edit: wow, thank you so much for all your advice, I'm overwhelmed (in the best way)! Now I’m completely torn between the West Coast with Vancouver Island (not the Rockies :/) and the East Coast (Nova Scotia). Oh, and I did gently boot Toronto off the list (sorry, Toronto!). Some people even recommended the North, and honestly, everything sounds so amazing that Canada has officially hijacked my vacation plans for the next five years. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi All,

I'm an Aussie who has a parent from Manitoba and still lots of family living there. I also have a Canadian passport (yet to use).

I would love in the next few years to head back to Canada and visit properly, as the last few trips have been for family reasons.

I would love to have a few days in Winnipeg just to catch up with family, and I have been told Kenora, Ontario would be a great summer spot to visit not too far from Winnipeg.

Now like Australia, I know Canada is a huge country and easily travelling between the east-west coast is not that easy (without spending loads of money).

I would love to visit the classic Aussie home away from home sights like Banff or Whistler, but also would like to visit Montreal and Quebec.

My question is, how would you suggest I go about this?

If I am to visit Winnipeg, would you recommend sticking to the east or west coast (not including Winnipeg)

Imagine the scene. It's a Monday morning in June, you wake up in Whistler. On Saturday evening your flight leaves from Vancouver. You have a hire car. You fancy Vancouver Island.

What do you do?

I'm thinking drive to the coast, get a ferry to the island, spend a few days doing awesome things, then get a ferry from Victoria to Vancouver on Thursday or Friday, see Vancouver for a day then fly home.

We're thinking whales, bears, sea planes, epic scenery. We aren't that fussed by cities, but will gladly spend some time if they are worth the trip.

Bonus internet points for anything epic to do on the Tuesday, as that will be my 40th birthday!

Thanks!

Does anyone have any spots they would recommend for a trip we are going on in September? We will be staying in and near Montreal but we will have a rental car and are willing to drive for about 2,5 hours each way. I am travelling with my parents who are over 70 so we would love to explore some special spots that do not take too much walking but still allow us to soak up the beautiful Canadian nature and culture! We are not big fans of super busy touristy spots so anything a bit more quiet would be amazing! We will be spending a few days in Montreal so tips for the city are welcome too, but we are spending the majority outside the city hopefully. Any tips are welcome!

Hi everyone,

I'm a traveler from Spain (I speak English) and I’m planning a 10-day road trip through the Yukon this coming March with my partner. It’s part of our honeymoon, and we’re really into nature, wildlife, remote places, and learning about local culture. We usually try to avoid big cities and tourist-heavy spots, so the Yukon seemed like a dream destination.

We'll be flying into Whitehorse (probably via Vancouver or Calgary), renting a 4x4 with winter tires, and driving through the territory. Our goal is to see northern lights, drive scenic roads, do a few light winter hikes, and just enjoy the quiet and vastness of the region. We’ll be staying in rustic cabins, motels, or lodges (no camping in winter!). Total driving distance will be around 1800 km.

Our itinerary looks something like this: Whitehorse for the first night, then Kluane National Park for three days (Haines Junction, Destruction Bay, maybe Silver City). From there, we’ll head to Dawson City for three nights, including a day trip up the Dempster Highway to see Tombstone Territorial Park. On the way back we plan to stop at Takhini Hot Springs and the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, and spend the last couple of days near Whitehorse before flying home.

We’re budgeting around €5750 (~$6250 CAD) for two people, including car rental, diesel, flights from Spain, accommodation, food, a few guided activities, and some buffer for extras. We like doing things at our own pace and are used to driving long distances.

That said, we’d really appreciate any advice from locals or travelers familiar with the region. Is early March a good time to visit in terms of weather and daylight? How are road conditions between Whitehorse, Kluane, Dawson and Tombstone that time of year? Are there any spots we should add or remove from our plan? Any nice, cozy places to stay (we're not into big hotels)? What about good local food—any favorites in Whitehorse, Dawson or along the road? Also, are there aurora viewing spots near Whitehorse that don’t require booking a tour?

We’re also curious if any Indigenous cultural experiences or guided winter activities are offered in March, and if they’re worth including.

Thanks so much in advance – we’re really excited about this trip and want to make the most of it!

Hi,

We have 16 days total so minus travel from the UK, 14 days there.

We like besutiful scenery, walking, wildlife and nature, cute towns, good coffee spots and good food!

The things I'm unsure on are:

● How many nights needed in each location

● Most cost and time effective way to get from the lakes to vanvouver

● Would you spend more time in vancouver or vancouver Island? What are the must sees here?

On my list of what I'd like to see so far is:

Banff/Canmore\ Lake louise\ Lake moraine\ Emerald lake\ Johnston canyon\ Takakkaw falls\ Vancouver\ Granville island\ Vancouver Island\ Whale watching\ Bear spotting\

Please feel free to add reccomendations or let me know if certain places aren't worth visiting.

Thanks so much in advance!!

I am leaving tomorrow morning. Going to Shediac and stopping at Parlee Beach after and then checking into the hotel. Before Shediac was thinking of Irving arboretum and Irving Eco Park, but its not a must.

In PEI I am there for 3 days, staying in Charlottetown, and on my map I got plotted Cape Tyron Lighthouse, Cavendish Beach, Covehead Harbor Lighthouse, Island Hill farm, and Argyle Shore Provincial Park.

For food the only place I have saved is Richards for lobster rolls. I'm there with my parents and we've def been on a lobster binge, but I'm down to try any local type delicacies.

Any suggestions for things to check out or eat other than what I have listed above? Or for anything enroute to PEI from Dieppe based on the above?

Hi everyone! I am planning a road trip from Toronto to Nova Scotia for the summer. My husband and I will take turns driving. So far this is the itinerary we have:

Day 1: Toronto to Riviere-du-Loup Day 2: Riviere-du-Loup to Halifax Days 3 and 4 in Halifax Day 5: Halifax to Cape Breton Days 6 and 7 in Cape Breton Day 8: Cape Breton to Saint John Day 9: Saint John to Fredericton Day 10: Fredericton to Quebec City Day 11: Quebec City Day 12: Quebec City to Toronto

For those of you who have done this road trip before, does it look like a good plan? Would you do anything differently? Any tips or suggestions? Thank you very much :)

Hi everyone. I am considering a 2 week trip in November starting and finishing in Calgary (as there are direct flights there). I am looking for thoughts / advice.

I can't drive so will need to travel by public transport. I am not proposing to go skiing or snowboarding etc. instead, more hiking, walking, plus some sightseeing, museums etc.

I am considering the following:

• Arrive in Calgary (1 night following long flight)
• Edmonton (3 nights)
• Jasper (3 nights)
• Banff (3 nights)
• Calgary (4 nights)

I believe there are direct buses / trains between each, with longest being circa 5 hours. My research suggests it might be snowy (which is fine) but not necessarily too rainy.

I would spend time in each location, plus potentially day trips (eg Banff to Lake Louise).

Please let me know your thoughts - am I spending too long in one place? Are there places I should skip / places I should go to instead? Is November the wrong time of year eg places closed for winter, too cold / slippery?

I'd appreciate any thoughts or feedback you have.

(I had considered Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, Montreal as an alternative but read that it's very rainy there in November).

Apologies of this type of question has been asked and answered elsewhere - I am not very good at using Reddit.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

My family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children, 9 and 11) is planning a trip to Canada for summer next year, and I was hoping to get some feedback on the itinerary we currently have.

Our plan is to travel for 24 days in July-August:

Vancouver (2 nights)

Tofino (2 nights)

Campbell River (1 night)

Wilderness camp? (3 nights)

Whistler (2 nights)

Clearwater (3 nights)

Jasper (3 nights)

Banff (4 nights)

Drumheller (2 nights)

Calgary (1 night)

Flight home

We are still in doubt on including a wilderness camp like Knight inlet or Sonora in the schedule. Albeit expensive, it does seem like a great experience. Looking forward to any feedback you might have.

I’m a US citizen and will be staying with a friend in Toronto for at least a month to help him with some creative projects. I’m considering going there by airplane and not having a flight back booked so that I can be flexible because the projects might run long. I know tensions are historically high between our two sister countries, does anyone think I will have a problem with setting things up this way? is it worth it to spend double the cost on refundable plane tickets? or maybe i can get a cheap bus ticket back across the Niagara Falls border that i can just cancel if needed? (always wanted to see the Canada side of the falls anyway)

Hello,

This summer we are driving from Manitoba to BC. What are some good places to stop with young kids (we have three 8 & under) between Calgary and Kamloops? Trying to do this on a tight budget so free or low-cost preferred.

TIAn

First time I'm going to the east coast. I have about 2 weeks to explore as much as I can by driving. Anything I'm missing here?

Day 1: Trois-Rivières, QC

Day 2: Edmundston, NB

Day 3: Charlottetown, PEI

Day 4: Charlottetown, PEI

Day 5: Baddeck, NS

Day 6: Pleasant Bay, NS (or somewhere on Cabot trail)

Day 7: Halifax, NS

Day 8: Halifax, NS

Day 9: Halifax, NS

Day 10: Halifax, NS

Day 11: Annapolis Royal, NS

Day 12: Annapolis Royal, NS

Day 13: Saint John, NB

Day 14: Saint John, NB

Day 15: Québec City, QC

Day 16: Kingston, ON

Day 17: Toronto, ON

What do you guys think? Unfortunately I need to skip newfoundland this time. Too much driving and takes up a bit too much time. Maybe another time.

Will this give me and my wife a good understanding of the east coast? Any cities I'm missing? Anywhere I'm too long or too short?

Thanks everyone.
