Canada Border is Open

As of August 9th

The day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here, when fully-vaccinated US travelers are once again welcome to enter Canada.

Why choose Canada?

With larger landmass and a population ten times smaller than that of the United States, Canada offers plenty of wide-open spaces right next door, and a needed escape after a year of border closures.

So go ahead and treat yourself to Canada’s lush forests, sparkling lakes and towering mountain peaks. From iconic road trips and remote lodges to train vacations and more, we have something safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Here are our four favorite way to experience Canada

1. Remote Lodges

We realize you may want to ease back into travel and stay away from busy cities. For this, Canada’s remote lodges satisfy the call with limited rooms, attentive staff, exclusive access, and outdoor activities

Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge

Vancouver Island’s celebrated luxury outpost Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge skirts the banks of its namesake ocean inlet, Clayoquot Sound, and offers an escape to the still, tranquil beauty of Canada’s remote wilderness. Set among magnificent conifer forests, the lodge offers guests an unforgettable experience of the landscape and its wildlife. Twenty-five canvas tents designed with contemporary interiors complement period and local artisan-designed pieces to provide a decadent retreat.

Fogo Island Inn

Fogo Island Inn sits on an island, off an island, at one of the four corners of the Earth. Situated along Iceberg Alley, all 29 rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto the wildest and most powerful ocean on the planet. Furnished with handmade quiet luxuries, they serve as a welcome refuge from the numbing uniformity of modern times. The island’s still-wild world has caribou to track, hills of berries to forage, nature trails to explore and countless birds and sea life to behold. This award-winning Inn is operated as a social business, is a community asset and 100% of the operating surpluses are reinvested into the community.

2. Canada Polar Bear Safaris

Birds, Bears and Belugas takes place at Seal River Heritage Lodge and combines the thrill of beluga whale watching in July and August with the adventure of Churchill Wild’s signature “on the ground” polar bear walking safaris. Situated on the edge of the Hudson Bay coast, there’s simply no place better to adventure.

3. Train Vacations

Traveling by train in Canada is an iconic experience, be it through the majestic Rocky Mountains of Western Canada or across the charming and colorful eastern and Atlantic provinces.

4. Road Trips

The best time to road trip in Canada is from May to October when long days and pleasant weather conditions allow you to take in fantastic views, delve into local history, uncover hidden gems and spot wildlife in natural settings.
