Canada Wildlife Holidays

Close up bear in the woods

For the wildlife lovers out there, Canada is the place to be – from June to October the big draw tends to be the famous grizzly bear and the playful killer whales but let’s not forget the moose and the deer, the wolves and the cougars, the bald eagles and the hummingbirds, the beavers and the otters – there’s simply too many to name them all! Head to Port McNeill on Vancouver Island for an experience of a lifetime, sea kayak and spot wild orca play in their natural environment.  For the bear enthusiasts head to Tofino, at the edge of the Pacific Rim National Park, where you’ll take to the waters to spot black bears foraging for food at low tide.  Not for the faint-hearted!  And for a slightly less demanding, but no less exciting, way to spot whales and other marine life around Vancouver Island, stay in Victoria and adventure out on a dinghy tour where you’ll learn all about the fascinating creatures that live in these waters. Read on for more inspiration for what wildlife to see and where in Canada.
