As the world’s second-largest country, with every type of ecosystem imaginable, Canada offers a remarkable diversity of wildlife as grand as the country itself. From massive orcas and mesmerising polar bears to stampeding herds of buffalo and salmon swimming upstream, the opportunities to witness nature are as plentiful and exciting as the creatures themselves. Whale-watching is exceptional, with populations of humpback, minke, and fin whales gracing both coasts, and excursions departing from various locations across the country. Canada’s high bear population adds to the thrill, with chances to spot these majestic animals along rocky shorelines or in the sheltered inland hills. Whether you’re incorporating wildlife viewing into a holiday itinerary or seeking a fully immersive experience at one of the country’s wilderness lodges, you’ll find yourself right in the heart of nature’s playground, surrounded by the spectacular fauna that makes Canada truly unforgettable.
