We?re lucky to live in a place as diverse as Canada. There are so many spellbinding locations in this land that you could spend the rest of your life travelling within our borders and never see them all.  How many of these unique and surreal places in Canada have you visited?

Tofino, BC

Winter or summer, there's something special about Tofino and the west coast of Vancouver Island. You'll feel the spirit of Mother Nature as you hike through the rainforest and wander along the impossibly long beaches in Tofino.

From coast to coast to coast, there are also cheap places to travel to in Canada for a sweet holiday.

Angel Glacier is just one of many surreal sites in Jasper National Park. When you visit, make sure you explore an ice cave. The experience can be? chilling.

In the summer, these are the best Canadian national parks to explore.

A visit to Quebec City is like visiting Europe without the long flight. Plus, your money has the same buying power as it does at home.

Not only is it beautiful, but Quebec City is also one of the most romantic spots in the country.

The East Coast is no slouch when it comes to surreal locations. Take Cavendish Beach, on the north side of Prince Edward Island. The sand is red and the water is warm ? the combination making it another stunning landscape you won't believe is in Canada.

Hopewell Rocks, NB

The Bay of Fundy is a sight to behold. You'll find the highest tides in the world here ? as high as 53 feet! And at the Hopewell Rocks you can see how the enormous tides have sculpted these rock formations. Every time you visit, they're a little bit different.

Gros Morne, NL

It looks like something out of a Peter Jackson movie, but Gros Morne National Park is real, and it's located in Canada ? in western Newfoundland. UNESCO has designated the stunninpark as a World Heritage Site for its amazing scenery.

Thousands of years old, icebergs are truly spectacular to see ? and you can find see on Canada's east coast in Newfoundland and Labrador during the spring and summer season from many points along the northern and eastern coasts of the area.

If you want to see towering mountains of ice slowly floating down Iceberg Alley, Newfoundland is the place to do it. You might even see something like this!

The prime viewing time is between April and June.

Whitehorse, YT

The historic buildings of downtown Whitehorse will transport you back to the days of the gold rush. But the real treasure is what happens in the sky at night.

Dinosaur Provincial Park, AB

No, this isn't the Moon. It's Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. Located a few hours from Calgary, the area is far easier to reach than the moon. There are scenes like this, of course. But if you're a dinosaur fan, you'll love the exhibits at the visitor centre.

Alberta Badlands, AB

The hoodoos are another striking and otherworldly feature of this part of Alberta. The sand and clay towers, near Drumheller, are formed by erosion. Be sure to hike the Hoodoos Trail through the alien landscape.

Moraine Lake, AB

Spectacular doesn't quite describe Moraine Lake. Located in Banff National Park, the glacially fed lake is accessed by several hiking trails.

The colour of the lake is due to "rock flour," which is basically silt created by glacial erosion. Hike the Lakeshore Trail to get a great view of Mount Fay and the Fay Glacier.

Big Muddy Valley, SK

Nothing says The West like Saskatchewan's Big Muddy Valley. Located south of Regina near the US border, the highlight is Castle Butte, a 60m tall sandstone monolith. The area is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the warmer months.

Niagara Falls, ON

Yes, it's one of Canada's most popular tourist destinations, but for good reason: it's pretty amazing. Whether you view Niagara Falls from above or on a boat bobbing in the water below, you'll never forget the experience. Try visiting mid-week and off-season if you want to avoid the crowds ? it'll be easier to grab a photo of one of Canada's top 20 must-see waterfalls.

Trail, BC

If you've flown out of Trail, BC, you've probably been a victim of the dreaded fog. It can be a pain in the butt, but at the same time, it creates dreamy scenes like this. Fall is the best time to experience the fog.

Gaspe Peninsula, QC

Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula might not be on your radar, but it should be. An excellent year-round destination, the Gaspe is an outdoor paradise in the winter.

From skiing to dogsledding, the Gaspe will remind you of just how wonderful winter can be.

Pangnirtung, NU

It's not the easiest place to get to, but the rugged landscape around Pangnirtung, Nunavut is worth the trip. Perched on the edge of Baffin Island, this is the real Canadian North and those who make it here are rewarded with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 'Pang's' only hotel has just 25 rooms.

Mount Thor, NU

Looking for a spot to build your secret lair? We suggest the awesomely named Mount Thor in Nunavut. Towering more than a kilometre in the air, Thor has the highest overhanging rock face on the planet. No surprise that it's a popular climbing destination. Might be worth adding to your list of trips you need to take before you die.

Banff, AB

Look! A big mountain at the end of the street! And that pretty much sums up Banff: a bustling town surrounded by towering mountains.

Banff is another great year-round destination that never gets boring. It should be a required visit for every Canadian.

Muskoka Region, ON

And finally, the Muskoka Region of Ontario. Beautiful. Serene. Magical. And in the fall, surreal. More than 1,600 lakes help make this the gold standard of Canadian cottage country. It's probably why it's a hotspot for where celebrities vacation in Canada over the summer.
