Canada Wildlife Tours - Where to Spot Canada"s Favourite Critters in the Wild
When planning a vacation with the desire to see wildlife, look no further than the Great White North.
Canada is largely undisturbed wilderness, and even in many top Canadian cities you're likely to spot raccoons, coyotes, and other critters strolling down quiet side streets.
What you'll see depends on where you're going, but here's a few of the top spots for Canada wildlife viewing across the country.
In the Maritimes: Digby Deck, Nova Scotia is a great, less-touristed gateway to some of the best whale watching in Canada.
As you travel alongside a peninsula of scenic and remote fishing villages you will be likely to spot fin, minke, or humpback whales, with the possibility of seeing right, sperm, blue, or pilot whales as well.
Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland offers the opportunity to spot a herd of caribou, a spectacular gannet colony, and the largest puffin colony in North America.
In Eastern Canada: Churchill, Manitoba is your gateway to polar bears in the wild.
A polar bear vacation is truly a wildlife experience unlike any other.
Prince Albert Park, Saskatchewan - On Lavallee Lake in Prince Albert Park roosts the second-largest pelican colony in North America where bison, moose, elk, caribou, black bear, and red fox also roam free.
Baie Ste-Catherine, Quebec - Two hours northeast of Québec City lies the Baie Ste-Catherine, where beluga and minke whales gather in the hundreds.
During the summer, migratory patterns mean that they're joined by humpback and blue whales as well.
In the Rockies and on the West Coast: Victoria, BC offers great whale watching tours where you'll have the chance at spotting orcas (killer whales), harbour seals, sea lions, Dahl's porpoises, and eagles.
Tofino, BC's beaches are beautiful and rugged, and host all kinds of little creatures.
Pull on your gum boots and go for a stroll along the rocks to discover tidal pools full of sea anenomes, barnacles, star fish and sea stars, crabs, and tiny fish.
Remote regions of BC and Alberta are full of specialty lodges that make for a relaxing way to spot the wildlife.
The Great Bear Lodge and the Knight Inlet Lodge are floating rainforest retreats that share the habitats of grizzly bears, wolves, otters, and bald eagles.
