For a destination where you can enjoy a great range of outdoor activities, or for somewhere to enjoy real wilderness, North America, and Canada in particular, are hard to beat. Huge areas of mountain and desert are there to play in – but with all the comforts and services you'd like, when you need them.

Canada for adventure holidays

The opportunities for adventure holidays in Canada are endless – you wouldn't believe the number of ways you can enjoy the outdoors or 'back country'. The choice includes walking, trekking, climbing, biking, rafting, canoeing, wildlife, riding, skiing and ranching. Most of these are based in the west of Canada and the Rockies and so several activities can easily be linked together.

In Canada and North America, Footloose Adventure Travel are agents for many small operators who specialise in a wide range of adventure holiday activities. They are usually based in their own accommodation and offer instruction, guiding, equipment, or just help. Contact us and we'll be happy to discuss the possibilities and make suggestions.

Chilcotin Ranch in the Western Canadaian Rockies is excellent for hiking and riding.

Wells Gray in the Southern Canadian Rockies is an area of interlinked lakes and high mountain huts for canoeing and hiking.

Sailing is possible for those with a little experience. With fabulous scenery and amazing wildlife, many visiting sailors acknowledge the cruising area between mainland Canada and Vancouver Island as one of the world’s finest and probably its best kept secret too!

The base at Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver is just a 20-minute taxi ride from Vancouver International Airport. The base is ideally located in the middle of the three very diverse cruising areas: Desolation Sound, the Gulf Islands and the San Juan Islands.

Choose from the rugged beauty of the Gulf Islands, the meandering fjords of the Sunshine Coast or the simply breathtaking scenery and solitude of Desolation Sound.

Holidays in Northern Canada and Alaska

In Northern Canada and Alaska, the wildlife becomes the main interest as the wilderness becomes less accessible. The Arctic coast and Islands can be visited and the Pacific coast is well known for cruises to coastal areas which are home to a huge diversity of wildlife.

We are also agents for the Alaska Marine Highway, so a journey along this remarkable waterway can be included in your holiday.

Ranching holidays in Canada

Ranching holidays are popular throughout the Rockies. These vary from real working ranches where you can get a hands-on experience of ranching, to luxurious holidays where you are pampered and probably won't even see a horse! Most offer opportunities to take part in other activities too – the most common ones being walking, rafting and canoeing – so it's important to choose carefully.

Ranching holidays are generally really good places to take children, with separate activities and facilities if you need them.
