Discover Canada

Natural beauty, vast tracts of untouched land, enchanting historic villages, and vibrant modern cities— the second-biggest country in the world covers a lot of ground. VBT’s bike tours in Canada are the best way to experience the wonders that our neighbor to the north has to offer.

From the European charm of Old Montreal, with its cobbled streets and cozy cafés to hip, trendy Vancouver and its bustling Asian night markets, Canada’s cities are delightfully different and endlessly enriching. Venture into the country’s smaller towns to discover quaint fishing villages in Nova Scotia, mountain towns inhabited by outdoor enthusiasts in the Rockies, and artists’ communities in rural Québec.

Further out into the Canadian wilds, you’ll find stunningly beautiful landscapes. Rugged coastlines in Newfoundland, soaring peaks and crystalline lakes in the Rockies, lush temperate rainforests along the Pacific coast, and arctic tundras in the north—this vast country really does have it all.

Canada boasts world-class museums and galleries in its urban centers, lively folk music traditions in its maritime villages, internationally acclaimed film festivals and music festivals of every genre, and countless other cultural attractions. Sample poutine in Québec or have a gourmet meal in Toronto, and don’t forget to take in a hockey game to fully round out your Canadian experience.

Follow the breathtakingly scenic Pacific Marine Circle Route.
Revel in the untouched beauty of Banff National Park.
Savor authentic farm-to-fork West Coast cuisine.

Wildlife

This vast country is home to some seriously big animals. Polar bears, grizzly bears, whales, bighorn sheep, and the iconic moose all roam the wilds of Canada. While most of these giant creatures are rarely seen, you might get lucky and spot one if you venture out of heavily trafficked areas.

The Canadian Rockies

This massive mountain range stretches 900 miles from the Montana border. By mountain standards, these beauties are relatively young. They started to form around 80 million years ago and have not yet been smoothed out by the passing of time. Their craggy silhouettes are stunning when juxtaposed with the glassy glacial lakes dotted throughout the area.

Maple Syrup

Canada produces 71% of the world’s pure maple syrup. From small family farms to bigger operations, Canadians have been tapping maple trees for their sweet sap for generations. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup. You’ll appreciate all that hard work when you sample treats like maple candy and maple pie on your tour!

Deb

I would recommend a cycling trip to the Canadian Rockies for anyone who appreciates Mother Nature at her finest.

Deb grew up in Eastern Canada, and as a young adult took a ski trip to Lake Louise where she fell in love with the Rocky Mountains. A month later she packed up and moved to Banff! She has called the Bow Valley her home for almost 20 years.

Allen

I love sharing my passion for the mountains and connecting with people in the outdoors.

Allen grew up in Eastern Canada and the draw of the mountains brought him to where he lives today in beautiful Nelson, British Columbia in the Selkirk Mountains. Allen has climbed, paddled, hiked, skied & biked extensively across the Rocky Mountains and beyond.

Claude

The essential part of what made my trips memorable were the journey and the opportunity to share those moments with wonderful people.

A native of Montreal, Quebec, Claude is a passionate adventure guide that will put his gentle guidance and contagious smile at your service. He puts his many years’ life experience to use helping you discover stunningly beautiful places you will never forget.

Camille

Nothing gives me more freedom than taking my bike out and pedalling to the next destination!

Geographer, cyclist, and adventurer, Camille has always thrived by surrounding herself by forest, open spaces and wilderness. In the last decade, she decided to rediscover North America through multiple cycling trips around Eastern Canada, Quebec and the American West Coast.
