Canada is so vast, and diverse, that it takes expert planning to even scratch the surface of its majestic landscapes. With Saga Holidays, guests can experience a breadth of amazing sights from the big-sky prairies and towering Rocky Mountains to glistening glaciers and thundering Niagara Falls.

Whether its wildlife-spotting or city culture there’s a tour to suit all tastes from the East coast to the West coast – plus a choice of travel by road, rail and cruise ship to discover the very best of the world’s second largest country. 

Discover three of Saga’s tempting tours:
