Outdoor adventure in Canada
Canada is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. Home to vast and varied landscapes, the scale and beauty of this incredible country are hard to match. Whether you’re kayaking across glacial lakes, rafting down thundering rivers, or exploring mountain trails, adventure is never far away.

Adventures on the water
Canada’s stunning lakes and rushing rivers are a playground for water sport lovers, offering both adrenaline-fuelled experiences and serene, self-guided journeys. Try your hand at white-water rafting on the Kicking Horse River or, for a more laid-back excursion, drift along the serene waterways of Algonquin Provincial Park by canoe.
For something truly special, join a bioluminescence kayaking tour along British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast or head to Saguenay Fjord and spot iconic local wildlife from the water.
For the ultimate adventure, multi-day rafting and kayaking packages, available in both eastern and western Canada, offer a unique way to discover the country's waterways. Along the way you'll observe incredible wildlife, learn about the ecology and culture of local communities, and truly immerse yourself in nature.

Into the great outdoors
If you prefer to stay on dry land, Canada has plenty to offer. Hike the winding trails of the Rocky Mountains, or meander through British Columbia’s lush forests on horseback.
A guided e-bike tour of Vancouver offers a different way to discover the city, while in the Okanagan you can pedal your way past canyons and over trestle bridges as you trace the historic Kettle Valey Railway.
For a little more thrill, take to four wheels on an ATV tour through the rugged backcountry of Cape Breton, or explore the tumbling waterfalls of the Kootenays by UTV.
If you're drawn to more adventurous pursuits, there’s no shortage of options. Go rock climbing in Jasper with sweeping views over the Athabasca River, or try canyoneering in the Bow Valley, navigating waterfalls and rock formations as you move through the landscape. In Banff, take on the region’s only Via Ferrata, scaling sheer rock faces with the support of expert guides.

Frequently asked questions
The best time is usually June to September, when hiking trails, lakes, rivers, and mountain roads are generally at their most accessible. May and October can also work well in some regions, especially for quieter walking, wildlife viewing, and scenic drives, but higher mountain areas may still have snow or early closures.
Canada is especially good for hiking, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, wildlife trips, cycling, horse riding, and guided mountain activities. The Rockies suit hiking, climbing, and rafting, while places such as Algonquin Provincial Park, the Sunshine Coast, Saguenay Fjord and the Okanagan offer gentler ways to explore on the water or by bike.
No, many outdoor activities in Canada are suitable for beginners when they are chosen carefully. We usually recommend guided trips for white-water rafting, heli-hiking, and canyoneering, while gentler canoeing, e-bike tours, short walks and wildlife boat trips can suit travellers who are looking for more accessible adventures.
