Sailing up a craggy rock-walled fiord in northern Labrador. Watching humpback whales breach in the salty fresh air of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Walking with polar bears on the coast of Hudson Bay. Standing awestruck as a Spirit bear and cub emerge from dense foliage in the Great Bear Rainforest. These are iconic Canadian travel moments. And they’re made all the richer when travelling with Canadian Geographic’s trusted tour operators and knowledgeable ambassadors.
