Canada is famous for its great outdoors. Dense rainforest, majestic plains, towering peaks… it is what draws most tourists to this vast country every year.
How much of Canada’s outdoors is accessible with smaller children? Surprisingly, quite a lot. The diverse terrain also makes for a fantastic playground.
Canada has been high up on our agenda for just as long as I can remember. Glass mirror lakes, lush forest, rolling blue mountains, intriguing wildlife and adventure activity galore, it was the best place to travel with my son.
I do not know why we have not made it a priority sooner. I mean who doesn’t want to drive through Canada.
So, the best way to explore the country, we figured out, was by a car through a self-drive tour. To travel a country extensively in just 14 days you need someone that allows you the freedom and is greatly reliable.
With AVIS self-drive Canada car services, we planned the trip according to our preferences and conveniences. We had planned so much to do every day and driving on our own had saved us a lot of time.
Day 1-2: Toronto
At the scheduled time, we landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. The immigration was a little chaotic however; the waiting time was not much.
In ten minutes, we get to the corresponding window, where we show the passport. They ask us a couple of questions and immediately we go to collect the suitcases, which arrive without problems.
Then we cross the terminal to pick up our Avis self-drive rental car at the airport. They had many options & car types for all budgets. Out of all the car options, we choose an SUV type car, as I wanted the abundance of comfort & space for my son while traveling.
Without wasting any precious time, we rushed out to make the most of the day. The biggest city of Canada surprised us with its fast-paced life and diverse beauty.
DAY 3-4: Gananoque
After breakfast, we load the bags in the car and head for Gananoque, a small town from where the Thousand Islands excursions start. The sites for the thousand islands excursion are Kingston, Ivy Lea, Rockport, and Gananoque. We decided on the latter because it is a small town and there are no parking problems.
It was the perfect place to rest your eyes after a long day of squinting at the furry green islands on the misty St Lawrence. The dainty Victorian town, deep in the heart of the Thousand Islands region, was filling up with cruise-loving tourists like us.
Day 5-6: Montreal
Arriving in Montreal, the navigator takes us through a toll bridge. There are no toll roads in Canada, except the 407, which serves to decongest the Toronto bypass. In this case, there are no toll booths, only license plate readers located at both ends.
In Montreal, witness a French-infused city that is all about the celebrations of life, festivals, the arts, good food, living well and enjoying life to the end & back.
We had the whole day to discover Montreal so we started with the town hall. In the opposite is the Ramezay castle, which according to the Canada travel guide we have is one of the recommended places to see.
Day 9-10: Quebec City
After having breakfast and loading our bags in the car, we set off on our way to Quebec City. We arrived there at noon, so we took advantage of the opportunity to explore the city.
The old Quebec is unmistakably European, French more specifically. Undoubtedly, this is where the French descent of the city is most visible. Québec is one of North America’s oldest and most magnificent cities, which is the oldest French-speaking city.
Day 11-12: Ottawa
The next morning we got up early & after 170 kilometers, we reached Ottawa. Ottawa quickly became one of my favorite destinations in Canada. It could have been because of the way we started it or the way we ended it. Whatever it was, we only got 2 days to discover this gorgeous city.
