How long do I need in Canada?

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 I have?".

Travel at a relaxed pace

A great solo holiday comes with enough time to truly reset and get into a new rhythm. When you don't have to rush or be on anyone else's agenda. We recommend travelling at a relaxed pace for a minimum of three weeks. If you have slightly less time, your travel specialist can help you choose the best regions that suit your wishes.
