[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quebec City as others have said.  The area around it is also beautiful - lots of good outdoor activities.

Mt. Tremblant is great for skiing.  We did a driving tour up in Nova Scotia - up to Cape Breton - it was good but not great. However, really loved the Bay of Fundy and Halifax.  You can make a nice trip with a stop in Acadia too if our National Parks keep operating.

Also, if you are a camping family - their provincial parks (like our state parks) are very nicely setup with dish washing stations!  National parks are great too.

I like Montreal but don't love it.  It's nice but nothing amazing.  Husband loves it.

I have always wanted to go to Prince Edward Island - Anne of Green Gables fan - they have a relatively new island trail which is on my list. https://theislandwalk.ca/

We have also gone to Banff & Jasper which are beautiful but not sure how Jasper is after the fires.

Vancouver - I'm very meh on. [b] Loved Victoria Island[/b].[/quote]
Vancouver island. Capital city Victoria. [/quote]

NP here. Other than the fancy gardens, what are some fun things to do on Vancouver Island? [/quote]
I’m the Canadian pp from pg 1, Vancouver island is one of my most favourite places in the world. Land in Victoria, explore if you like, grab a rental car and get on the move. There are tons of tiny cute islands all around - salt springs is probably the most popular near Victoria. Head north along the coast, spectacular drive.

When you hut Parksville you can continue north or head west. Fanny bay is a tiny bit north, home to some of the best oysters. Continuing north you can courtenay and Campbell river, beautiful small towns full of nature and beauty. You can see grizzlies, black bears, killer whales, grey whales, humpback whales, otters, sea lions, elk, deer.

If you head west, you will drive through Coombs, a little market town famous for having goats on the roof. You’ll pass cathedral grove, similar to cali redwoods, some of the largest trees (Douglas firs). Continue on and you’ll hit a T at the coast; north goes to Tofino south to ucluelet. Tofino is one of the most popular areas in the island, great beaches, surfing, nature, wildlife. Ukee is a sleepy version of Tofino, home to one of the best restaurants in Canada/the world, pluvio.

There are hundreds (thousands?!) of gorgeous hiking trails, anywhere from 5mins to multi-day trails like the west coast trail (people flock from around the world to do this hike, not my thing but apparently amazing). 25% of the worlds temperate rain forests are on van island.

Tons of great natural beauty. There are wineries, cideries, cheese makers, orchards, they even grow walnuts and hazelnuts. Amazing produce. I grew up going camping on the island and absolutely love it. I took my husband there during Covid and he was in awe! I’d highly highly recommend. [/quote]
