Eastern Canada Adventure Travel Guide

Discover multicultural eastern Canada, where the flair and charm of Europe meets big city North America, for an exciting and unique outdoors adventure trip.

Things to do and see
Explore the heart of French-speaking North America along the cobblestone streets and charming squares of Vieux-Montréal (Old Montreal) and Vieux-Québec (Old Quebec). Be amazed at the breathtaking architecture of modern Toronto and explore unspoilt landscapes in the Parc National du Mont Tremblant and the stunning Saint-Maurice Valley.

Discover the seventh natural wonder of the world at Niagara Falls then explore the rugged natural beauty of remote Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia on foot or by kayak. For an authentic Canadian experience, go horseback riding through the forested Laurentian hills or howling for timber wolfs in the Algonquins.

Join a ‘sugaring party’ in Cantons-de-l’Est where you can sample the traditional dessert of locally-produced maple syrup or stroll the winding cobblestone streets of Vieux-Québec past 17th century stone houses.

Relax with a café au lait and a crêpe at an outdoor café on Place d'Armes, ride a horse-drawn carriage into the café-lined Place Jacques-Cartier, the heart of Vieux Montréal, then savour the taste of Montréal's unique bagels, baked in wood ovens. And don’t miss the Toronto Maple Leafs ice-hockey team in action.

In winter, ski the slopes of Mont-Tremblant and Mont Ste-Anne or try the groomed cross-country skiing trails of Parc des Champs-de-Bataille (Battlefields Park) in Québec City.
