"I'd like to go to Canada". It was these six words that my wife uttered to me after browsing the Worldwide Caravan and Motorhome Holidays website one evening.

If you're planning a Canadian motorhome holiday, you undoubtedly have a bucket list of breathtaking natural beauty spots to check off. But in addition to soaring mountains, flower-strewn meadows, and glacial lakes, there's some vibrant artistic heritage to explore. 

After two years of living full-time in our motorhome it’s time to try something different. After all, as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life. Which is why we are heading to Canada to follow one of the Alan Rogers Travel Worldwide Caravan and Motorhome Holidays self-guided tours. 

As you drive this huge country, you'll come across remnants of its railway history everywhere, when steam trains were the only way to connect far-flung places. It's not just about the historical, though. You'll see epic scenery, learn about different cultures, and appreciate the grit of Canada's early pioneers.

Nestled off the coast of Canada's British Columbia, Haida Gwaii is an enchanting archipelago formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. Ancient rainforests meet the rugged clifftops of the coast, and the rich heritage of the Haida people is woven into every aspect of life here.

From the rugged outback of Australia to the glacial majesty of Canada, our world overflows with destinations that ignite the imagination. Southern Africa beckons with its epic safaris, while New Zealand's dramatic landscapes tempt adventure seekers. The USA boasts everything from bustling metropolises to awe-inspiring natural wonders. These inspiring places stir our souls with a promise of escape, discovery, and a connection to something bigger than ourselves.

Nestled within the vast wilderness of Canada's British Columbia are over 100 individual mountain ranges, each with its unique charm and breathtaking views.

Canada, a land of wild wilderness and cosmopolitan chart, is perfect for the UK motorhome holidaymaker. This vast nation promises unmatched experiences available on our Canadian motorhome holidays. In this guide, we'll explore the allure of Canadian lakes and how you can discover their beauty on a motorhome journey.

"I'd like to go to Canada." These words were uttered to me by my wife after looking at the Worldwide Caravan and Motorhome Holidays website.

Canada is a fantastic choice to experience the open road. With incredible scenery and wide open roads, it's a far cry from crowded UK streets. With so many amazing things to do in Canada, choosing even a handful can be tricky. However, if you are on one of our brilliant Canadian motorhome holidays near Banff, you won't want to miss the Banff Gondola experience, particularly in the winter.

UNESCO sites are considered to be areas of "outstanding universal value to humanity" and, as such, come highly recommended when building a motorhome holiday itinerary. Here we look at The Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in Nova Scotia, Canada, which serves as a remarkable portal into earth's ancient past.

The iconic Rockies extend over 4,800 kilometres, stretching from New Mexico in the USA to the north of British Columbia in Canada. If you're searching for the motorhome holiday of a lifetime, you can't beat a Rockies road trip.

Planning a Canadian motorhome holiday is surely incomplete without diverting to a UNESCO site or two. On our Maritime Hidden Gems motorhome holiday, you visit three of Canada's 20 UNESCO sites. In this article, we look at the Grand-Pré site, a rural community in Kings County, Nova Scotia.

There's something magical about the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis. This natural light display has captivated observers for centuries with its ethereal hues dancing across the night sky. And what better way to experience this celestial spectacle than across vast, beautiful landscapes on a Canadian motorhome holiday?

Sustainable travel has become increasingly important in today's world as we strive to preserve our planet's natural beauty and resources for future generations. Embracing eco-friendly practices during our holidays is a small but significant way to make a positive impact. Our bespoke motorhome holidays offer a unique opportunity for travellers to adopt sustainable habits while exploring beautiful destinations in Australia, New Zealand, Southern Africa, Canada, and the United States.

Canada is home to the world's longest coastline, stretching over 150,000 miles along the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic oceans. With a vast and diverse landscape featuring rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and rocky shores, the coast is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including whales, seals, and polar bears.

One of the main benefits of exploring Canada's vast wilderness on a Canadian motorhome holiday is the flexibility to travel and stay in and around remote areas of the country.

Millions of tourists flock to Canada each year mainly because of the allure of its beautiful natural outdoors, including dozens of secluded rugged mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and glaciers.

Billing itself as "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth", the Calgary stampede attracts over a million people each year. With one of the world's largest rodeos as well as parades, stage shows, "chuckwagon" racing and cultural exhibitions – there's no shortage of things to see.
