Whether you hike along the craggy coastline of Vancouver Island, through the charming villages along Quebec’s St. Lawrence River, or explore the serene islands of Nova Scotia, a walking tour of Canada offers no shortage of adventure, unparalleled scenic beauty, and opportunities to enjoy its vibrant, welcoming culture.
In Western Canada, the soaring Continental Divide and Canadian Rockies are one of the world’s foremost destinations for hiking. Here you’ll walk in the long shadows of craggy massifs draped with snow, across well-marked trails that trace across crystal-clear rivers. Amble through quiet spruce forests to the banks of emerald-hued lakes and alpine meadows bursting with brilliant wildflowers. Observe native wildlife like moose, marmots, and the whiskey jack bird thriving in an untouched wilderness.
Amidst Quebec’s charming French-flavored villages built from stone, woodland valleys, and the fjord-lined Saint Lawrence River make for inspiring strolls. Enjoy hearty lunches of poutine (French fries, cheese, and brown gravy) or pâté chinois (fresh vegetables and beef topped with mashed potato).

Country Highlights
- Set your gaze high upon the rock-wall slopes of colossal natural amphitheatres.
- Spot beluga whales frolicking in the waters of the Saguenay St. Lawrence Marine Park.
- Meet the Québecois who call Quebec City home as you browse art galleries and pause in sidewalk cafes.
- Experience the Scottish flavors, coastal charms, and magnificent beauty of Cape Breton Island.

First Nations
Learn about the fascinating culture of the First Nations—Canada’s indigenous peoples. Explore the forests of Vancouver Island with a Snuneymuxw guide and learn about the edible plants and traditional medicines the forest can offer that are still widely used today.

Bay of Fundy
Explore nearly 100 miles of well-marked trails in at Fundy National Park. Explore the seafloor of the Bay of Fundy at low tide or venture inland where quiet trails trace through Acadian forests to numerous waterfalls. Twice each day, 160 billion tonnes of seawater flow in and out of the bay across six hour tides—the highest tides on earth.

Quebec City
Stroll the cobblestone streets of one of North America’s oldest and most magnificent settlements. Amble the sloping sidewalks of Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where a thriving culture of shops and restaurants exists among 17th- and 18th-century houses and soaring church spires, all under the watchful eye of Château Frontenac.
