"I love being able to share my personal knowledge of Canada and assist with creating holidays that leave you with unforgettable memories" 

First-hand Travel Experience in Canada   

From setting sail on an incredible cruise to witnessing some of Canada's most iconic wildlife at close quarters, I've been lucky enough to savour some of the most exhilarating experiences Canada has to offer. 

Alaska Cruise 

I have personal experience onboard both Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam and Silversea Muse. It was great to be able to compare a premium cruise line to an ultra-luxury and the differences between them. No matter how you choose to spend your time on a Canada and Alaska cruise, you'll enjoy a memorable adventure. Few experiences can compare to sailing through Alaska's pristine wilderness where you'll have front-row seats to some of the most awe-inspiring scenery and wildlife on Earth. 

Wildlife tours 

I have been fortunate to experience incredible wildlife firsthand while travelling throughout the country – from bears in the Rockies to whales on Vancouver Island. One of my favourite Canada wildlife experiences was staying at Knight Inlet Lodge, where I watched mother bears and their cubs in their natural habitat. If you’re dreaming of an immersive wildlife experience surrounded by untouched wilderness, this should be at the top of your list.  

Self-drive 

I have enjoyed self-drive holidays across many regions of Canada, including the Canadian Rockies, Vancouver Island, Ontario, and Quebec. Driving is one of the best ways to explore Canada, offering the flexibility to travel at your own pace, discover hidden gems, and stop wherever something catches your eye. In a land of so many contrasting but equally impressive landscapes, you'll discover jaw-dropping sights on whichever route you choose.  

 

Cheryl’s Expert Advice  

Top 3 Must-Do Experiences in Canada 

  • Experience the Icefields Parkway 
  • The Calgary Stampede 
  • Wildlife Tours 

Hidden gem destination most people miss 

  • Waterton National Park - Most people have heard of Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper in the Canadian Rockies but miss out on visiting Waterton National Park, which is quieter and offers stunning views as well. 

 

What our clients say about Cheryl 

Canadian Rockies holiday in memory of my wonderful husband Martin 

I wanted a custom made holiday to Canada to remember my late husband Martin, so it needed to be perfect. It involved a lot of toing and froing to change, add ,or delete certain things. Cheryl McIntosh was my adviser and couldn't have been more flexible or helpful. As well as been so professional and friendly, she was also so informative about anything I asked her. Nothing was too much trouble. She was brilliant!

Exceptional detail on itinerary

Cheryl was so helpful with booking our trip. She gave me all the information I needed and more tips. As well as detailed information regarding the cruise and where was best to see wildlife. Called me back at a convenient time for me.It was very simple and clear to understand. I received confirmation quickly and feel confident that we are going to have the best time and the best trip of our lives.

So helpful for making our trip of a lifetime come true 

The agent dealing with us (Cheryl) was very knowledgeable and understanding of our requests and needs. She explained everything and made suggestions that would work best for us as first timers on this type of trip.
The itinerary she sent after our call was very detailed and contained different hotel and excursion options which we could choose if we wanted to change the ones selected.

Mr Wood - Client

 

Fantastic Service

From the moment I requested the brochure the service was excellent. Cheryl listened to our ideas and the things that were important to us. She then put a very detailed itinerary together, gave us time to review it and ask any questions. Her knowledge of the trip we wanted to do was fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend My Canada Trips.
