Visit Canada.
Swim with orcas off British Columbia, watch whales on the St. Lawrence, meet polar bears in Churchill and grizzlies fishing the salmon runs. One small Swiss agency, the wild side of Canada — built around your dates.
Canada’s wildlife, made simple
Four unforgettable wildlife encounters across Canada — and one Swiss team to arrange every detail.
From the orca waters of British Columbia to the polar-bear tundra of Hudson Bay, we run small, well-guided trips and handle the flights, transfers and logistics. You choose the animal; we build the journey.

From Switzerland
Canada is closer than you think.
