CANADA & ALASKA Destination Planner 2018 – 2019

Canada Traveller

– Experience the Difference Bears, whales and other wildlife are some of the major reasons that we love to travel to Canada. To be able to see what we can’t see in our own country is a major draw card and puts Canada on so many of our bucket lists.

That you want to travel to Canada goes without saying. Where, when and how you want to experience Canada is another question.

Canada is a huge country with amazing diversity throughout, seasonal changes and starkly different landscapes, huge wilderness areas and sophisticated cities.

For so long it has been expected that everyone should see Canada the same way through the same tried and true tourist paths.

At Canada Traveller we decided that Canada was too special a destination to limit its potential to what other people think you should see. Hence why at Canada Traveller we sell all of Canada and with our help you have the opportunity to make up an itinerary which allows you to experience the Canada that you want to see.

The Canada Traveller brochure provides you with all the necessary information to decide what you want to do; and we, in conjunction with our travel agent partners, provide the guidance to planning your holiday.

So whether your Canadian trip includes one of the great train trips, Niagara Falls, the grizzlies of the great bear forest, the cosmopolitan shopping and great restaurants of Toronto and Vancouver, or all of the above, we can assist you in your planning and make sure it runs smoothly.

Every time you visit Canada you realise how much more you want to see and how many unique experiences you would like to be a part of.

Having been fortunate enough to have travelled to many parts of Canada I can say that each time it reminds me of how much I haven’t seen and how much more I would like to experience. I have enjoyed all aspects of Canada, the people are friendly and engaging and the scenery compelling.

The seasons add another dimension. Summertime is a great time to travel and is when most of our guests head to Canada.

Winter time is something else again, such a contrast to our own experiences. Frozen lakes and rivers, snow on the ground, great skiing, underground shopping; maybe even a white Christmas. Winter is truly one of the best times to be in Canada. Autumn brings the famous Fall Foliage of eastern Canada which has to be experienced to be believed.

Montreal and Quebec are beautiful cities with their strong French influence. It is fascinating to see people moving from English with a Canadian accent to perfect French like they are the same language.

The Canadian Arctic is a massive land area with very few human inhabitants but good populations of polar bear and beluga whales.

Vancouver Island has its quaint villages and resident Orca populations and of course it is close to Vancouver, one of the great cities with its rugged mountain surrounds uniquely complimented by its beautiful harbour.

So read on and if you don’t find exactly what you want we will find it for you. We are recognised as a specialist travel provider with our well known Cruise World brand, in its 24th year of providing the widest range of cruise holidays available, standing alongside our Canada Traveller tailor made customised holidays in Canada.

We look forward to welcoming you on a wonderful Canadian experience with Canada Traveller.

Manitoba

Québec

Arctic coastline, stunning lakes, fishing, polar bears and beluga whales combined with genuine Canadian hospitality is truly unique to Manitoba. Every summer, adventurers view, snorkel with or kayak alongside the thousands of beluga whales that fill the Churchill and Seal Rivers in northern Manitoba. It is the most accessible place in North America to see polar bears in their natural habitat, specifically from mid-October – November.

Québec is a province steeped in tradition and history. It is a former French colony that has managed to retain and build upon its strong links to French history, lifestyle and culture. Storefronts and street signs inform in French first and English second, giving the province a European flair uncommon to the rest of North America. Québec City remains the only North American city still fortified by its original city walls.

Using this brochure

Newfoundland and Labrador

We understand that you want all of the options before you decide how you want to travel – so here are a few ways we’re making your research less time-consuming.

At Anderson Vacations, we pride ourselves on offering each client a customized itinerary. Whether you want fully escorted, self-drive, rail, adventure, hiking, adrenaline, culture or cuisine, we will be able to assist you in planning your trip. Our Canada and Alaska specialists are passionate and knowledgeable about the destination and look forward to creating the best possible experiences for you within your budget.

Here we have just a few of the descriptions of the type of travel experience we can offer in this brochure to assist you in deciding how you want to explore.

Independent Travel Packages These itineraries give you the flexibility to create your own tailor-made vacation.

They are perfect for the traveller who likes to travel independently but have it pre-arranged. Through our experience we combine local transportation, sightseeing, accommodation, activities and attractions together to ensure you have the best possible experience for your budget and time.

Small Group Touring Becoming increasingly popular is small group touring. On many of our itineraries we limit the group size to 20 participants. This allows you to have a more intimate experience, make new friends and avoid the inconveniences of travelling with a large group of co-travellers. You see more at an easier pace, enjoy the peace and quiet of that special place you’ve always dreamed of, and actually hear the local guide! With small group travel, you can easily venture “off the beaten path,” or visit interesting places while getting around by special means.

Accommodation Options The vast majority of our accommodation choices reflect our clients’ desire for clean, well-located, 3 and 4-star properties with private bathroom facilities. We feature a variety of accommodations, from city hotels to boutique and adventure lodges. Many itineraries feature a choice of moderate, superior and deluxe category options. Should the accommodation of your preferred category be unavailable, we will suggest suitable alternatives. Though all our hotels, inns and lodges are carefully chosen, our tours are not about accommodation. Hotels are for laying down your weary head; they shouldn’t be the main focus on tour.

Unique Lodges and Wildlife Canada and Alaska feature an array of wildlife such as moose, bear, orca, beluga whales and polar bears. You can choose to stay in very unique lodges which allow up close and personal sightings of wildlife in their natural habitat.

Self-Drive Packages

Ranches

Self-drive is a great way to explore at your own pace and it gives you the flexibility to access areas that local tours or public transportation do not go. Driving in Canada is easy – the roads are well-maintained and clearly marked, making for excellent driving conditions. We combine your car rental with pre-arranged accommodation, activities and sightseeing, ensuring you don’t miss out on anything but giving you time to explore at your leisure.

Join us in the foothills of Alberta, British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains for a ranch experience with the many ranchers who live and work in these regions. We can offer a taste of life in rural Canada or even a week-long horseback trip, riding alongside the cowboys.

City Breaks and Mini-Packages We have put together these packages to provide you with great suggestions of what you can do when you are visiting each city or destination. We will link these together with a train, coach, flight or car to create your own custom itinerary.

Fishing Vancouver Island, Alaska and Saskatchewan are renowned for fishing. Let experienced guides and captains show you the hot spots. We have a variety of packages available for all the various fishing types with accommodation from high-end luxury lodges to more economical rustic stays.

Fully Escorted Travel We present to you in this brochure a selection of the wide range of fully escorted tours that we can offer. You will have the benefit of a hassle-free journey as your Tour Leader takes care of all of the details. This allows you to sit back, relax and enjoy seeing the new sights while making new friends as you explore the best of Canada and Alaska.

Customized Group Touring Whether you are a special interest, sports, student, family or small group travelling together, our group specialist team can assist you with pre-planning your itinerary. This includes your accommodation, sightseeing, transportation, local guides, meals, and unique experiences. We will plan your tour efficiently and professionally.

Regina, Saskatchewan

ANDERSON VACATIONS

remote or smaller towns we book the best possible accommodation available.

Though all our hotels, inns and lodges are carefully chosen, our tours are not about accommodation. Hotels are for laying down your weary head after a day of memorable travel experiences; they shouldn’t be the main focus on tour. A full list of the accommodation on each tour is available on request.

Small Group Touring Becoming increasingly popular is Small Group Touring. On many of our itineraries we work with smaller vehicles and driver guides and limit the group size to 20 participants. This allows the group to have a more intimate experience, make new friends and avoid the inconveniences of travelling with a large group of cotravellers. You see more at an easier pace, enjoy the peace and quiet of that special place you’ve always dreamed of, and actually hear the local guide! With small group travel, you can easily venture “off the beaten path,” or visit interesting places while getting around by special means. Small Group Touring features activities that will enrich your travel memories and minimize the time at sightseeing stops, allowing the group to see more or arrive at their destination earlier.

Customized Group Touring Whether you are a special interest, sports, student, family or small group travelling together, our group specialist team can assist you with pre-planning your itinerary. This includes your accommodation, sightseeing, transportation, local guides, meals, and unique experiences. We will logistically operate your tour efficiently and professionally.

Transportation In addition to our commitment to service, we utilize some of the most modern motor coaches in Canada. We can provide sedans, limousines, touring vans, and 21, 29 or 56 passenger coaches. On the larger coaches, we provide late model coaches equipped with the latest amenities including TV/DVD, public address system, stereo, restroom and reclining seats.

The Deep South is just one of those regions of America that conjures up more than its fair share of historic infamy as well as plenty of music, food and natural beauty to provide the backbone to a truly memorable tour.

With religion deeply ingrained in the culture and cotton picking still a big business, it is easy to see how time changes slowly in the Deep South.

However, change is in the air and a tour of cities such as New Orleans or Nashville presents a fascinating blend of the old and the new. The Grand Ole Opry, Graceland, Bourbon Street and Stax Records – if your toes weren't tapping to the sounds of jazz, soul and rock ‘n’ roll before you arrived in the Deep South, they surely will by the time you depart for home.

It is one of the largest unspoiled natural paradises on the planet. People from everywhere visit Nunavut to enjoy the arctic wildlife and the Inuit way of life, to explore the top of the world and be dazzled by the vivid dancing hues of the Aurora Borealis.

Arctic Bay – a vibrant, traditional community located in the northwest corner of Baffin Island. This safe harbour hamlet is situated upon a south-facing gravel beach on Adams Sound, which feeds into Admiralty Inlet, draining northwards to Lancaster Sound and the Northwest Passage.

Pond Inlet – also called ‘Mittimatalik’ in Inuktitut after an unknown ancient person presumed to be buried here, Pond Inlet is a traditional Inuit community located on the northern tip of Baffin Island near the eastern entrance to the Northwest Passage.

It overlooks Eclipse Sound and the mountains of Bylot Island, which is a migratory bird sanctuary. Situated near scenic fiords, glaciers and icebergs, Pond Inlet is famous as a great place to see large pods of narwhal.

Resolute – known as ‘Qausuittuq’ in Inuktitut, which means the ‘place with no dawn’ because of the long winter night this far north. It is also the ‘place with no sunset’ in the summertime! Resolute is the second most northerly community in Nunavut and Canada. The many little islands and big arctic waters nearby are special habitats for numerous nesting birds and large migrating pods of beluga whales. Resolute is home to some of the greatest Inuit hunters in the world.

To top it all off, a spectacular fireworks finale lights up the sky.

1000 Islands Helicopter Tours

Fort Henry was built from 1832 to 1837 to replace an existing fortification from the War of 1812 era. Situated atop Point Henry, the Fort protected the naval dockyard at Point Frederick, the entrance of the Rideau Canal and the town of Kingston, which was the major transhipment point along the supply route between Montréal or Ottawa and all points west. Today, Fort Henry continues its role as a museum and historic site to residents of Kingston and visitors from all around the world. Once inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of 19th century military life: experience guided tours, scenic views, heart-pounding musical performances and precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard – a highly disciplined group of university student recruits trained as British soldiers from 1867.

1000 Islands Helicopter Tours offer the most spectacular views with six unique tours. Feel the excitement as you lift off and fly away on a journey of a lifetime.

Become mesmerized by the richness and beauty of the 1000 Islands only seen from the air. Experience a private and intimate setting in the helicopter with personal narration of the region by the pilot. The magnificent sights are a perfect photographic opportunity, so cameras are a must for each flight!

Little Big Bear Safari At Little Big Bear Safari, you will experience a unique way of viewing the black bear of America in its natural habitat in the deep forest of New Brunswick. You will learn from Richard, ‘the Bear Man’, about the life of this magnificent creature, the way they communicate, what they eat and more. Birds, squirrels and sometimes ducks will entertain you as well. The scenery and the sound of water on rapids are breathtaking!

Little Big Bear Safari is not a zoo. The bears are free to come and go as they please.

You will be transported with a mini bus to the foot of a secure and comfortable viewing tower, always accompanied by certified guides. Once in the tower, you will be asked to be very quiet (whisper instead of talking). For the next two hours, you are in the bear's world. Enjoy the interaction between these magnificent creatures while they play, chase one another and fight. The little ones often climb trees while Mama Bear ferociously chases away a big male intruder. On occasion, you will see Mama Bear nurse her cubs; something you will never see elsewhere, so be sure to bring your camera to capture this rare opportunity.

Note: Due to the nature of this activity, the minimum age is five years old. If you have questions about the bears, Richard will do his best to answer you, all while whispering. This is an adventure you will never forget! The bears are waiting for you!

Fogo Island Inn Newfoundland's Fogo Island Inn sits on an island, off an island, at one of the four corners of the earth.

Situated along Iceberg Alley, all 29 one-of-a-kind guest suites feature dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the wildest and most powerful ocean on the planet. Most suites have a wood-burning fireplace stove; all are furnished with quiet luxuries and handmade furniture and quilts – a stimulating relief from the numbing uniformity of modern times. The island’s still-wild world has caribou to track, hills of berries to forage, nature trails to explore and birds and sea life to behold. The awardwinning inn is a community asset – 100 per cent of operating surpluses are reinvested into the community.

Package includes: two nights of accommodation, all meals and a half day Fogo Island orientation excursion with a local Community Host. Transfer rates between Fogo Island and Gander International Airport are available upon request.
