It comes off your final price, and is refunded in full if you don't go ahead.
Canada feels enormous the moment you land. Vancouver sits between the mountains and the Pacific, so you can walk Stanley Park in the morning and be on the slopes above Whistler by lunch. Further up the coast, lodges in Clayoquot Sound and Desolation Sound are reached by boat or floatplane, and orcas and bears share the inlets.
Inland, the Canadian Rockies rise around Banff and Jasper. Lake Louise and Moraine Lake turn a deep turquoise in summer, and the road between the two towns passes glaciers and elk grazing by the verge. In winter the same valleys fill with snow, and the far north lights up with the aurora. Quebec City and Montreal add French food and old stone streets to the east.
Each of these can sit within your Canada days, planned around the season.
