Great combination: Rail and self-drive

Travelling by train is a splendid way to cover some of the vast distances comprising Canada, the world’s second-largest country. VIA Rail Canada and other Canadian railway companies offer a range of options for first-class train trips from Atlantic to Pacific. Once the rails have helped you restfully cover some ground, try driving on the other side of the road at some great Canadian destinations. Canada Your Way’s Travel Specialists will take care of all the details to help you explore the destinations of your choice at your leisure in a hired car. We’ll provide you with maps, book accommodations as necessary, and offer a wealth of destination expertise to help you plan to see the best of each location.

So many possibilities

Perhaps the greatest challenge for a traveler looking for a combined rail and self-drive holiday is deciding which parts of our great country to enjoy. From whales, scenic Vancouver, and the Rocky Mountains in the west to the promise of the prairies, Canada’s West is a great option for rail and self-drive. Sample the best of Québec and Atlantic Canada as you depart historic Montréal on luxury rail and wend your way through beautiful countryside to the Maritime province of New Brunswick. A car tour through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia allows you to stop and enjoy the quaint cities and towns along the way. For adventure and a chance to see bears in their natural habitat, head to the prairies. Winnipeg is a wonderful cultural centre in Manitoba with Lower Fort Garry or The Forks National Historic Sites, theatre, fine arts, and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Ride VIA Rail’s Hudson Bay north to Churchill where belugas, whales, and bears frolic in the pristine north. Truly, the options for rail and self-drive holidays in Canada are as limitless as your imagination.
