What is the best place to visit in Canada from March to May? We show you how and when to enjoy the typical Canadian travel adventures.
March: Traverse Ice Roads in the Arctic Circle
Where: Northwest Territories
On the edge of the Arctic Ocean in early March, the temperature in Inuvik remains below zero. Cars and trucks ease their way along the 185 km ice road to Tuktoyaktuk as it’s known to locals. The treeline disappears as you head north, the blue ice solid beneath your wheels. The ice road is open from late December to late April. But March is the best time for the trip because the road is still solid and the weather isn’t as bad.
April: Surf Chilly Waters off Vancouver Island
Where: Vancouver Island, British Columbia
It might surprise you to learn that Tofino, British Columbia has been regarded as one of the best surf towns in North America. While this laid-back rainforest community on Vancouver Island’s west coast doesn’t boast(夸耀) the bronzed bodies of California’s Huntington Beach, Tofino gets big and amazingly consistent waves. Water temperatures hold steady year-round at 10 degrees Celsius along 35 km of coastline. Surfing in April on spacious Long Beach or underrated Cox Bay lets you beat the high-season tourists.
May: See the Canadian Rockies
Where: Throughout British Columbia and Alberta
In mid-May, as the landscape of western Canada emerges from its wintry cover of snow, the world-renowned Rocky Mountaineer train begins operation for the season, running along captivating routes between Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies. It’s one of the world’s best journeys by rail, and the luxury train’s glass-domed cars allow passengers to fully appreciate the mountains, lakes, and rivers scrolling by. The undisputed highlights: Banff, Jasper, and Lake Louise.
