I recently went on a holiday to Canada. I know that doesn't sound technically correct. In a way i did. Basically I wanted to rent out a car and drive from Vancouver to Winnipeg. We had three areas in mind across Canada that we had to visit. A stop off in Calgary.

So I started in Vancouver. I wasn't expecting to see this city like this, i had read a lot about it as well. This city is different to any other in the world. Surrounded by snow and green trees with little iceberg tops, this scenery is stunning. You wont be able to get bored here, we found all kinds of things to do throughout the day and night.  What a way to start our Canada tours.  As a further note i have arranged for Vancouver holidays for the rest of my staff as well.

Then there is a 450 mile drive to Calgary, we decided to just go for it so we could spend s good amount of time in there. We drove through Kamloops on the way, but didn’t have enough time to stop. I was absolutely shattered, we arrived in Calgary and just went to sleep for a while. Lucky for us something called the Calgary Stampede was going on. This is a huge event that they hold annually and is often referred to as the Greatest Outdoor Show in the World. The best way to explain it is; this is a place for cowboys, then afterwards a nice circus event, where they have all kinds of dangerous acts. This is a holiday that anybody could enjoy.

We then embarked on our final 600 mile drive to Winnipeg. We had to go to the Millennium Library, one of the most famous in the world, filled with a huge array of books. We aren't a boring couple, but we did have to visit the Manitoba museum, there are also plenty of bars and night clubs to visit as well. Neither me or my wife think that we had been on a better holiday before this.  Alaska Cruises also do something like the fly drive, only all you have to do is relax.

 

In this part of our guide to activity holidays we look at which types are most popular.

There are different types of activity holidays that can fit almost everyone's needs. The main types are thrill-seeking, wilderness, winter, cycling, and special interest.

Climb rocks, go white water rafting, and cave exploring, these are included the popular thrill seeking trips. Either stick to one type of activity or do wide range of them where you might spend a single day on one before switching to another. Go out and experience exciting new things and challenge yourself, this is the ideal way.

Wilderness holidays involve you spending time in various wilderness areas, such as deserts, jungles, plateau, tundra and mountains. You can visit almost any continent to find these terrains, some of the best deserts are the Sahara, Namib, and the Gobi while jungles are found in America, India, or Africa; there are plenty of mountain ranges all around the world while the Antarctic and the Outback are great for adventurers. Such trips are generally made up of trekking, camping, survival skills courses, and lessons on the people, cultures and wildlife you'll come across.

Ski cross country and downhill, go snowboarding, you can even go with the lesser tried ones such as dog sledding or snow mobiling. You will need to find open and free areas in order to do the two latter activities unlike skiing which will be done on a resort or mountain.

Go biking in the mountains on great expeditions, or perhaps a gentle flat area is more to your liking, both are possible on bike holidays. These tend to be graded according to their intensity, with the percentage of on and off-road riding, and vehicle support indicated on the website or brochure.

Special interest holidays are available for those with a real interest and passion in one subject or a range of subjects. Examples of interests catered for in such a way include photography, yoga, archaeology, conservation and language learning. You'll have an expert in the subject to guide you throughout your trip and will be greatly improved at your chosen subject by the end of it.
