Plan a luxury vacation to Canada and you’ll discover cities that feel distinctly European, with mountains and National Parks that feel torn straight out of the soil of Argentina and the American West. Canada is the second-largest country in the world, and from the pretty, pine-fringed bounds of Lake Ontario (say hello, Toronto) to the thundering and dramatic ice of the distant Northwest Passage, this is a vast and historic country. For over a decade, we’ve been curating immersive, high-energy and culturally rich forays into this wild and wholesome place. Perfect for family road-trips and multigenerational adventures, with the option to watch whales, spot bears, climb, bike, hike sail and eat (and very well, at that). From French Quebec to the natural wonder of Vancouver, you’re never too far from a stunning wilderness or a vibrant city — and we can take you to both. Trips typically start from around $6,000 per person for five nights.
As ever, if you can’t see it here then we can still plan it for you.
Located on the Pacific Coastline of North America, a tailormade tour through Canada’s famed British Columbia sees guest exploring art-forward Vancouver and deep into the epic rugged landscape that comprises this spectacular province. Set sail in search for killer whales, join families of grizzlies in the hunt for wild Salmon in Great Bear Rainforest, and take to the skies for a helicopter tour over snow-capped peaks.
The gem in Alberta’s crown, Banff National Park is an adventure lovers dream and a wildlife enthusiasts playground. Though it’s the oldest National Park in Canada, it’s a place to fall off the map and find peace amongst towering mountains, emerald lakes, and dramatic forests. Rent a canoe and glide gracefully on glacier-fed Moraine Lake for a rejuvenating experience only found in the Canadian Rockies.
Giving Switzerland and Colorado a run for their money, we proudly declare Canada as one of the world’s best destinations for a luxury winter vacation. From Whistler Blackcomb to Big White, fresh powdered slopes, cosy chalets, and excursions to keep the whole family happy – think snowmobiling and snowshoeing – are just a few reasons a winter getaway in Canada is in a class of its own.
A blend of two cultures, this province was first discovered by the French in the 17th century. From Quebec City to Montreal and everywhere in-between, this dazzling eastern province has preserved it’s French origins and the European lifestyle, architecture, and hospitality is thriving. Spend the night in a charming, city-center chateau and dine on sophisticated French cuisine in Canada’s culinary capital, all while enjoying the regions flourishing wine production.
British Columbia
Ascend through peak, forest and cloud to reach the indomitable Sky Highway.
Head far out West, and you’ll find one of the world’s most dramatic – and thriving – cities: Vancouver. Set on an incredible, glacier-fed bay, you can zoom across the water in search of whales, soak up the incredible cultural and culinary scene, and explore the scenic (read: dramatic) Pacific coastline – bristling with deep forests, huge peaks, and incredible skies. The kayaking here is probably the best, and the most fulfiling, in the entire world.
Banff National Park
The untamed nature of this ancient place will get your heart racing like nowhere else.
Gigantic, snow-capped mountains mirrored in glassy lakes. Forests of dark, needle pine whose scent will knock you off your feet. Banff is quintessential Canada, and perfect for small towns, climactic road trips, and incredible adventure. The city of Banff itself is a buzzing, fun and vibrant city from which to go truly off-piste.
Toronto
Art.
The sprawling, cultural city of Toronto – along the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario – is one of the country’s most vibrant hubs; with huge investment into its culture, arts, heritage and entertainment scene. From the iconic CN Tower and Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) to the fortress of St York and the on-trend Distillery District. The perfect base from which to explore perhaps the world’s most famous waterfall, Niagara.
Nimmo Bay, British Columbia
Fogo Island Inn, Newfoundland
Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge
The best time to visit Canada depends heavily on where you’re going and what you want to do. Summer (June to August) is peak season across the country — national parks are accessible, wildlife is active, and long daylight hours make for exceptional road trips through British Columbia and Alberta. Winter (December to March) is ideal for skiing in Whistler and Banff, and for polar bear and Northern Lights experiences in Manitoba and Yukon. Spring and autumn offer quieter travel and dramatic landscapes, particularly in Quebec and Ontario. Your Black Tomato travel expert will match your itinerary to the optimal season for each destination you want to include.
A luxury Canada vacation typically starts from around $6,000 per person for a five-night itinerary. A more comprehensive 10–14 night trip combining British Columbia, the Rockies, and a wilderness lodge experience usually falls between $8,500 and $15,000 per person. Costs are shaped by the lodges selected — Nimmo Bay, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, Fogo Island Inn, and the Fairmont properties in Banff and Lake Louise sit at very different price points — alongside helicopter transfers, private guides, and the season of travel. Every Black Tomato trip is fully tailor-made, so your travel expert will design something that fits your ambitions and budget.
The best way to see Banff National Park is on a self-drive itinerary, supplemented by private guided experiences. The Icefields Parkway — one of the world’s great scenic drives — connects Banff to Jasper through 230 kilometres of glaciers, lakes, and peaks, and is best done slowly over two or three days. We recommend basing yourself at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise or Fairmont Banff Springs, then adding a helicopter flight over the Three Sisters peaks, a private hiking guide into the quieter backcountry trails, and a canoe on Moraine Lake. For families, a horseback ride through the surrounding wilderness is one of the standout experiences in the park.
Canada is outstanding for family vacations — it combines accessible adventure, extraordinary wildlife, and safe, well-run national parks with genuine luxury accommodation that caters for families of all ages. British Columbia is particularly well suited: grizzly bear and whale watching off Vancouver Island, ziplining and canoeing in Whistler, and family cycling around Stanley Park in Vancouver. For older children and multi-generational groups, a road trip through Alberta — Calgary, Banff, Jasper — is one of the most complete family adventure itineraries we offer. We’ve been running Canada family trips for over a decade and know exactly how to pace them so everyone gets the right balance of activity and downtime.
The best place to see polar bears in Canada is Churchill, Manitoba, on the western shore of Hudson Bay. Polar bears gather here each autumn (October to November) as they wait for the bay to freeze, making it one of the only places in the world where you can see large concentrations of wild polar bears on land. We partner with Churchill Wild for lodge-based walking safaris in the sub-Arctic wilderness — a very different experience from the tundra buggy tours that most visitors take. The same region offers exceptional Northern Lights viewing from late autumn through spring.
Yes, combining Canada with the USA is one of our most popular North American itineraries. The most natural pairing is a Pacific coast trip that takes in Seattle or Portland alongside Vancouver and Vancouver Island, or a ski trip that crosses between Whistler and Jackson Hole. For families and road trip enthusiasts, a broader western Canada and USA itinerary — driving through Montana and Glacier National Park before crossing into Alberta for Banff and Jasper — is a genuinely exceptional journey. Your Black Tomato travel expert will design the routing to avoid unnecessary backtracking and make the most of each destination.
