DISCOVER THE
Beauty of Staying Longer

Travellers are opting to take longer trips and seeking quieter off-the-beaten-path locations. When the air is icy, and there is often snow on the ground in Canada the months can seem dark and endless, so you may want to maximise your time away in a warmer locale. Whether you like to simply soak up a new place at your own pace, find the best coffee shops, work through your reading list and gain more of a sense of local culture or perhaps you are looking for a busy itinerary of adventures in the area, this is all possible when you book a long stay vacation.  The most popular vacation packages are 3-4 weeks, but you can choose the amount of time to suit your schedule and budget and we will craft a trip for you.  Speak to a destination specialist today to prepare for your perfect holiday.
