ENDLESS ADVENTURE IN CANADA AND THE ROCKIES

Welcome to the Pacific Coast and the start of your trip! Not many cities can claim fusing big-city living with the great outdoors, but with its skyscrapers, beaches, forest and mountains, Vancouver has somehow nailed that perfect mix. We'll cruise along the glorious clifftop Sea to Sky Highway in search of Whistler.

Come winter, Whistler may be a haven for snowbunnies, but when the weather is warm, it’s activity central. Test your Popeye strength by canoeing along the River of Golden Dreams, zipline over churning rivers or take a hike through scenery that puts most postcards to shame. If you’re feeling lazy, take a gondola or a chairlift to the mountain tops, but don’t forget to explore the village itself – you’ll melt at its cuteness.

Take a gondola ride between the two peaks and soak up the glorious panoramas in this elegant little village. You’ll then picnic lunch against a beautiful backdrop of Mt. Robson and then the outdoors is yours to explore. Want to take the adrenaline levels up a notch? Sign up for a white-water rafting excursion on the Fraser River!

Jasper is the perfect base to explore the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies. Take an easy hike though Maligne Canyon. Towering limestone walls will watch over us as we take in the scene, making our way across bridges to the thrilling soundtrack of rushing water. Nature goals achieved, we'll jump on the coach and head to Maligne Lake, famous for the azure colour of its water. You can also take an optional cruise out to iconic Spirit Island, the most photographed image in the Rockies.

Hop on a gondola up Sulphur Mountain, or take a helicopter-tour of the high country. At night, toast the moon with a horseback ride through the back-country complete with a fire-cooked meal to round off the day.

The following day, you’ll cut through 3 national parks on our way to Vernon — including the valley of waterfalls and meadows in Yoho National Park. Next up is Glacier National Park, which boasts over 400 glaciers and Rogers Pass. Lastly, you’ll see Mt. Revelstoke National Park’s towering peaks and raging waters!

We’re sure you’ll agree that meandering through Canada's wine country – the famed Okanagan Valley - is a great way to kill time on the drive back to Vancouver. It's time to see everything of this magical metropolis that you missed the first time around, we'll treat you to a whirlwind tour of the historic sites.

It’s time to see everything of this magical metropolis you missed the first time round. Vancouver’s downtown is world class. Stop for pics at the city's 9 Totem Poles. Get out there and get local, do some boutique shopping or even rent a bike and explore the city on wheels. Tonight, give your ears a treat with some live music in the alleys of Yale Town.
