Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, hiking untamed trails, or paddling across glacial lakes, the Great White North is calling.
With Canada Day weekend around the corner, it’s the perfect time to explore your own backyard and turn the long weekend into an unforgettable adventure.
Here are our top picks for adventure travel in Canada that’ll get your heart racing - in the best way.
Banff & Jasper National Parks, Alberta
If Canada had a postcard, Banff would be on it. Think emerald lakes, towering peaks, and wildlife that casually strolls by like it owns the place (because it kinda does). Hike to the top of Sulphur Mountain, kayak on Lake Louise, or go ice climbing in Johnston Canyon if you're feeling extra bold. Nearby Jasper is just as jaw-dropping and less crowded - perfect for backcountry hikes and stargazing in the world’s second-largest dark sky preserve.
Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario
For a true Canadian experience, grab a canoe and explore the countless lakes and rivers of Algonquin. Paddle during the day, pitch a tent at night, and fall asleep to the sound of loons (or your friend trying to light a campfire). This is off-the-grid adventure with just the right amount of rustic charm.
Whistler, British Columbia
Whistler isn’t just for winter warriors. Sure, the skiing and snowboarding are legendary, but come summer, the mountain transforms into a thrill-seeker’s paradise. We’re talking ziplining, downhill mountain biking, white-water rafting, and bear-watching. Yes - actual bears. Don’t worry, they’re more interested in berries than you.
Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick
Home to the highest tides on Earth, the Bay of Fundy is where land and sea do a dramatic dance. Walk on the ocean floor during low tide, then kayak the same area at high tide. Add in cliffside hikes, fossil hunting, and whale watching, and you’ve got a coastal adventure that’s totally tide-turning.
Yukon Territory
Feeling extra bold? Head north - way north - to the Yukon. This rugged frontier is all about raw beauty and pure adventure. Hike through Tombstone Territorial Park, pan for gold in Dawson City, or chase the Northern Lights across the Arctic sky. It’s remote, it’s wild, and it’s the stuff explorer dreams are made of.
Tofino, British Columbia
Yes, you can surf in Canada - wetsuits included! Tofino is a coastal gem on Vancouver Island where rainforest meets ocean. Hit the waves, hike through Pacific Rim National Park, or soak in a natural hot spring. It’s chill, scenic, and the kind of adventure that comes with salty hair and happy vibes.
Pack now, we’ll handle the rest!
