Athabasca Glacier: Guided Hike with Crampons & Small GroupYou’ll hike across Athabasca Glacier with a certified local guide in a small group, using crampons and hiking poles provided for you. Hear glacier stories, taste pure meltwater if conditions allow, and maybe even try safe ropework or scientific sampling for a closer look at the ice itself. It’s an experience that lingers long after your boots are off.
Vancouver seaplane tour and Capilano Suspension BridgeThis combined tour pairs a 30-minute seaplane flight departing from downtown Coal Harbour with admission to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in a lush rainforest. The seaplane circles Stanley Park, English Bay, the Lions Gate Bridge, Horseshoe Bay and Bowen Island before returning to the harbour; a complimentary shuttle then takes you to the bridge. Ground transport, park admission and an optional digital audio guide are included.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're arriving in Vancouver with a free afternoon and want to see the city from above without renting a car or booking separate activities—the seaplane and bridge are two signature experiences, and the shuttle between them means you show up and move through both on your own schedule.
Niagara Wine Tour: Lunch, 4 Wineries & Pickup IncludedYou’ll taste award-winning wines at four different Niagara wineries, snack on local cheeses, and share woodfire pizza for lunch—all with pickup included so you can relax between stops.

Montreal Night Tour: La Grande Roue & Mont Royal LookoutYou get picked up at your hotel, driven through Old Montreal with narration, ride La Grande Roue for views of the lit skyline, stop at Mont Royal Lookout for the panoramic perspective, and return to your hotel. The whole evening is guided, the group stays small, and you see the city the way it looks after dark.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Montreal's main evening sights without arranging your own transport or timing multiple stops — the guide handles the route and the van picks you up and drops you back at your hotel, which is what makes an evening tour actually work when you're staying downtown.
Vancouver to Victoria: Ferry crossing through Gulf IslandsYou board a coach at one of four Vancouver locations, ride to the ferry terminal, then cross the Strait of Georgia for 95 minutes on a BC Ferry through the Gulf Islands before the same coach delivers you to downtown Victoria. Luggage, ferry fare and taxes are included; you choose your pickup point when you book.Is it for me?Right choice if you're moving between Vancouver and Victoria without a car and want the ferry crossing handled as part of one booking. The 95-minute ferry is built into the journey, not a separate arrangement—pickup, crossing and downtown arrival all flow together.
Vancouver to Victoria: Scenic Seaplane Flight 35 MinutesYou board a seaplane at Coal Harbour, fly 35 minutes over Stanley Park and the Gulf Islands, and land at Victoria's Inner Harbour near the Parliament Buildings. The flight replaces hours of ferry and road travel with a single scenic crossing. Check in 40 minutes early, bring one bag under 25 pounds, and skip the traffic entirely.Is it for me?Book this if you're traveling from Vancouver to Victoria and want to skip the ferry lines and road traffic — the 35-minute flight lands you downtown instead of at an airport, which saves you a transfer and gets you to your hotel or attraction faster than any ground option.
Niagara Falls & Niagara-on-the-Lake: Boat Cruise & Wine Country Day TripYou board a boat that sails into the mist of Horseshoe Falls with a poncho included, spend free time at Table Rock for your own photos, drive past the Floral Clock and Whirlpool Rapids with a local guide, taste maple syrup and chocolate, and wander the wine-country streets of Niagara-on-the-Lake—all in one day, with pickup from Clifton Hill and no separate ticket lines.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Horseshoe Falls up close and explore the quieter side of the region without renting a car or buying separate tickets—the fixed schedule and included boat access are what fit everything into one day.

Ottawa city tour with Parliament Hill & Rideau Canal cruiseThis is a guided city tour of Ottawa in a small passenger van with hotel pickup and drop-off, covering Parliament Hill, Rideau Hall, the Prime Minister's residence, Notre-Dame Basilica, and a cruise along the Rideau Canal — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The group stays under nine people, which allows access to Rockcliffe Park's residential streets that larger buses cannot enter. The Rideau Canal cruise runs April through November; when it is not operating, the tour includes the Canadian War Museum of History instead.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you want to see residential Ottawa — Rideau Hall and the Prime Minister's residence — without renting a car or navigating on your own.

Vancouver Adults-Only Yacht Cruise: Prosecco and City ViewsAn adults-only yacht cruise through Vancouver's harbours with a live English-speaking guide, prosecco and a second drink, charcuterie snacks, and a maximum of 12 guests. The route covers False Creek, Granville Island, Stanley Park, the Lions Gate Bridge, West Vancouver's waterfront estates, and Lighthouse Park, with no stops—the full two hours is spent underway, sightseeing from the water.Is it for me?The boat stays in motion for the full two hours with no stops, so you're watching the city and the mountains unfold from the deck rather than getting on and off. This works well if you want the sightseeing without the walking, and if you prefer to stay seated with a drink in hand while someone else narrates the route.
Jasper Pyramid Lake: Canoe Tour & Wildlife with SnacksYou’ll paddle Jasper’s Pyramid Lake in a hand-built cedar canoe with a small group and local guide, watching for wildlife as you go.

Niagara-on-the-Lake Wine & Beer Tour: Wineries, BreweryThis afternoon tasting tour in Niagara-on-the-Lake takes you to a farmhouse brewery and two wineries for 9–12 tastings of craft beer, wine and Icewine, plus a mini-charcuterie pairing.

Quebec: Montmorency Falls & Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré Private Day TripYou’ll stand close enough to Montmorency Falls to feel its spray on your skin, walk across its suspension bridge if you dare, then find calm wandering Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica’s hushed aisles. With private transport and a friendly local guide handling every detail (even ice cream stops), this half-day trip lets you soak up both thunder and tranquility east of Quebec City.
Saint John to St. Martins: Fundy Coast Small Group TourYou’ll trade cruise crowds for wild coastlines on this small group day trip from Saint John to St. Martins and Fundy Trail Parkway.

You might leave with salt in your hair—and something quieter inside.
Icefields Parkway: Small Group Day Trip with Local SecretsYou’ll ride along Icefields Parkway from Banff with a local guide who knows every curve and story of these mountains. Expect easy hikes to Peyto Lake’s wild blue waters and Bow Lake’s silent shores, plus a simple picnic lunch in fresh alpine air. Wildlife sightings are common if you keep your eyes open. It’s less about rushing through stops and more about feeling part of this place for a day.
Niagara Falls Day Trip Toronto: Boat Cruise & Journey Behind FallsYou're picked up from your Toronto hotel and driven to Niagara Falls, where you get three hours to explore Table Rock, take the Hornblower boat cruise into the gorge, and descend 150 feet behind the falls on the Journey Behind the Falls attraction. You'll also see the Whirlpool Aerocar, the Floral Clock, and Niagara-on-the-Lake's heritage shops, with return transport to Toronto in the evening and skip-the-line access included.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Niagara Falls from multiple angles — the boat, behind the falls, and from the rim — without arranging transport, attraction tickets, or timing it yourself; the fixed itinerary and included skip-the-line access handle all of that, leaving you free to spend your three hours however you want.
Vancouver: Brunch & Lunch Cruises with Skyline ViewsYou board a Vancouver cruise—either a 3-hour brunch loop around the city or a 4-hour lunch run deep into Indian Arm fjord—and spend the time eating, drinking, and watching the coast from the top deck. Live music plays, the buffet is made on board, and specialty cocktails come with the ticket. You don't arrange transport to the dock or worry about timing the meal; the boat handles both. Wheelchair accessible with advance notice.Is it for me?Choose this if you want to eat and see Vancouver from the water without arranging separate transport, timing a restaurant reservation, or missing the views from the shore—the boat does all three at once, and the 4-hour option reaches a fjord you can't access any other way.
