Let's accentuate the positive, reduce the negative, and offset what's left.
Sustainability in actionThe natural, remote landscape of Canada lends itself to accommodation that is surrounded by wildlife and beautiful views. At Little America, we focus on small-scale accommodations with a personal touch. A one-of-a-kind spot with friendly, local hosts. A quiet place to unwind and a sanctuary to return to after a day of exploring. Relax around a fireplace with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, meet fellow travellers and share stories with your hosts.
Whether you prefer waking up to the sounds of birds in a dreamy mountain cottage, the rustle of leaves in a woodlands Bed & Breakfast or dipping in a hot tub in a luxurious lodge. Unique accommodation for couples that deepen your bond with your partner in quiet, natural surroundings.
With the diversity of Canada, you can see and do just about anything your heart desires. From kayaking through giant fjords, trekking through temperate rainforests, to fishing with a local. We have an abundance of short excursions that can be added to your itinerary. Whether you want to go horseback riding in the Canadian Wild West or hopping on a seaplane to journey along the historic mail route between Gold River and Kyuquot.
Let your travel specialist know your interests and they will take care of every detail. So you just have to show up and have an exciting, new experience to look back on for years to come. There are private or small group activities offered, ranging from easy-going to adventurous.
Do you want to go skiing in Banff? Encounter unique wildlife? Explore Toronto and Ottawa? Relax on the beach near Vancouver? Walk through fields of endless flowers? Canada is a country that is great for travel year-round. Every season offers a new adventure, and each region has a unique personality of its own.
Based on your specific interests, your travel specialist can advise on the best time to travel and find the perfect place for you. In general, the best times to travel are in the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn). During these times the temperatures are cooler, the costs are more economical, and nature is breathtaking.
Canada is the second largest country in the world. You could spend months travelling the ever-changing landscape and not see the same place twice. For your holiday, the question becomes, “How long do we have together?”
To truly experience the essence of Canada, we recommend travelling at a relaxed pace for a minimum of three weeks. Or, if you have slightly less time, your travel specialist can advise you on the best regions to visit based on your wishes.
From coastal roads to panoramic mountain passes, and awe-inspiring glacier landscapes, Canada is best explored by car. The roads are safe and there is so much to see that you are constantly tempted to stop. Taking time to capture these moments together is a must.
Driving yourself means that you can reach places that group trips and public transport cannot. You can go at your own pace, avoid the busy cities, and stop when necessary. Your travel specialist will organise a modern and comfortable rental car for you. With only a couple of hours between each location, you’ll have more time to relax and explore together. And that’s what a great holiday is all about.
If you are thinking of renting a campervan, talk to us now and discover why driving in a rental car is the best way to see Canada.

If you are travelling to Canada, you will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). You can apply for the eTA online. It only takes a few minutes. To apply, you will need a valid passport, a valid credit or debit card, and an email address. The visa costs about $7 CAD and is valid for five years. The application is generally processed within 24 hours. Once granted, you may enter Canada multiple times (for up to 180 days at a time).
Your British driving licence is valid in Canada. Also when renting a car. However, we recommend that you also bring an International Driving Permit. As some car hire companies will require that you have an International Drivers Permit before they will let you rent a car from them. Please note: this does not replace your British driving licence, therefore you will need to bring both documents. An International Driving Permit is available at post offices throughout the UK for approximately 5.50 pounds.
English is the most widely spoken language in Canada, except in Quebec and Nunavut, where French is the official language. In Quebec, however, more than 35% of the population can speak English. French is the second official language of Canada. Canada is also home to a variety of indigenous languages. In total, there are 12 indigenous language groups in the country. Cree, Inuktitut, and Ojibway are three of the most popular.
The Canadian dollar is the official currency of Canada. Canadian notes come in $5, $10, $20, $50 and CA$100. The $2 and CA$1 coins are known as the loonie and the toonie! Canadians also find a 25 cent quarter, a 10 cent dime, and a 5 cent nickel. Canadian banknotes are easy to recognise because they are so colourful.
Credit and debit cards are accepted throughout the country and ATMs are easy to find in most places. Before travelling, check that your bank card has global coverage, otherwise it will not work in Canada. Please note that some ATMs charge a service fee of approximately $2- CA$5 per transaction.
Whether you choose economy class or a higher class, your comfort comes first. We can advise you - based on our personal knowledge - on the best flight routes and prices. All your flights are climate-neutral.
The duration of your flight to Canada depends on your exact destination. If you fly from London to Toronto, your flight takes approximately 7 hours and 15 minutes. If you are flying to Vancouver, it will take approximately 10 hours. The amount of baggage you can take with you depends on the class you fly and the airline you choose.
