The vast 10 million square kilometers, girded by three oceans and the most powerful nation on Earth, is populated by a mere 32 million people, most of them border dwellers and many of them newcomers themselves. Yet, despite the youthfulness of this country, they are universally recognized as a diverse resolute country of admirable character, a land peopled with the descendants of native Indians, stoic pioneers, and new generations of grateful immigrants.
They are a respected global peacekeeper, and rich in assets, from their bountiful resources to their big thinkers. And theirs is a healthy democracy with energetic citizenship that holds fast and true to the open secret that Canada is the best place on earth to live and experience love. Be with the best wonders nature could offer in your Canada honeymoon.
Niagra Falls
Honeymoons in Canada would be full of nature and love. You should not miss a visit to Niagra Falls in your Canada honeymoon destination. Niagara Falls is actually three separate, massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River at the southern tip of Ontario, on the border between Canada and the United States: The Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the smaller, adjacent Bridal Veil Falls.
The crescent-shaped Horseshoe Falls is also known as the Canadian Falls as it is mostly in Canada. The Falls are one of the true natural wonders of the world. The sight and thunderous sound of the cascading waters are mesmerizing and the mystic power of the falls will always stay with you. Take one of the ”Maid of the Mist” boats to experience the Falls up close. Climb the stairs to the lookout atop the Brock Monument at Queenston Heights.
You can see the entire Niagara Peninsula with its orchards and wineries, out to Lake Ontario and even across the lake to the Toronto skyline. A visit in the winter would let you see the marvelous ice bridge, but nothing tops the sun shining on the ice created by the mist.
Cape Breton
Canadian honeymoon means living the Canadian way. In your Canada honeymoon plan, make it a point to pass through the Cabot Trail. This 300 km trail through the highlands of Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton, on Canada’s east coast, is actually a drive. A beautiful, scenic loop carved into the side of mountains that rise high above the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It winds around Cape Breton’s northern shore, ascending to the plateaus of Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
Cape Breton has been rated one of the best Island destinations in the world and this is in no small part to the Cabot Trail that offers breathtaking vistas of Cape Breton’s rugged coastline, where pods of whales and bald eagles are a common sight. The best ways to experience the Cabot Trail are by car, bicycle, or sea kayak. You and your partner can even do activities like whale watching. Chéticamp is a busy fishing village with a thriving Acadian culture and the center of Acadian French heritage in the area. An Acadian Museum highlights the early Acadian history of the area.
At St. Ann’s, North America’s only Gaelic college features displays on the region’s early Scottish settlers in the Great Hall of the Clans. Cape Breton has 4 world-class golf courses set amidst this beautiful land- and seascape.
The Prairie
In your honeymoon in Canada, never miss out on the Prairie. A Canada honeymoon would never be complete without seeing the prairie which is a vast steppe-land area between the Rocky Mountains in the West and the Great Lake region in central Canada. On the prairies, the sky surrounds 180 degrees of your sightline in all directions.
The sight of the highway disappearing into the horizon against the huge, pastel-blue of the sky above the golden wheat; and with only the sound of the wind is a beautiful sight and a powerful feeling. It gives a whole new perspective on the earth and peace in the soul.
Although the prairie stretches from northern British Columbia to western Ontario, both Saskatchewan and Manitoba are recognized as Canada’s “all-prairie” provinces. In Saskatchewan, a driving route known as Horseshoes and Dinosaurs takes you through the Cypress Hills and to many historic sites.
