anada is, by any measure, big – big country, big coastline, big cities and big scenery, with a host of big-ticket sights


that are enough to earn it a spot on any traveller’s wish list, whether they prefer whale-watching or wine-tasting, epic road trips or short city breaks. But for every famous attraction, there are a dozen


more that probably haven’t made it onto your clients’ radar, yet are just as worthy of attention – and better still, they won’t have to book their accommodation a year in advance or wait their turn at every scenic photo stop. That’s why we’ve put together an ‘alternative’ bucket list for Canada, shining a light on the wealth of options across the Atlantic, and giving you ideas for how to sell the country to repeat visitors.


BIG ON . . . NATURE Bucket list: Niagara Falls can’t fail to impress – whether you see it from above or below, sparkling in sunshine or surrounded by snow, the sheer volume of water thundering over the falls is something to behold. Add the Journey Behind the Falls or a boat trip with Hornblower Niagara Cruises for a real sense of the scale and power of Horseshoe Falls. The alternative: You can’t match Niagara like for like, but it’s not the only place Mother Nature was kind to in Canada. The Yukon is nature at its most raw and untouched, full of pristine tracts of vast wilderness, towering mountains including Canada’s highest peak, free-roaming wildlife and – between September and March – the northern lights.
