Tour Itinerary

Leg 1 - Vancouver to Whistler

Our trip begins by heading north along the Sea to Sky highway, stopping to check out an impressive waterfall, jagged mountain peaks, sparkling glaciers, and for lunch at a peaceful lake. We'll arrive in Whistler in the afternoon with time for relaxing, swimming in the nearby lake, or exploring the village. Enjoy an included dinner and then rip it up in the bars and nightclubs!

Leg 2 - Whistler to Vancouver

We don't leave until the afternoon today, so get your thrill on by zip lining, bungee jumping or downhill mountain biking, go for a hike up Whistler Mountain, or relax in one of the beautiful parks. The day is yours to enjoy as you please! When we do leave, we'll stop to check out another picturesque waterfall and the old mining centre at Britannia Beach before returning to Vancouver in the evening.

Leg 3 - Vancouver to Kelowna

Leaving the city behind, we travel east through the Fraser Valley, stopping for a short walk in a west coast rainforest to check out Bridal Veil Falls, and for lunch at an idyllic lake. We'll then pass through the Coastal Mountains and into the much drier interior of British Columbia. The night is spent in Kelowna. Houseboat and jet boat tour included.

Leg 4 - Kelowna to Banff

We cross into the province of Alberta and will be in four National Parks today, including Canada's oldest and most famous - Banff! The Rocky Mountains await us, as does Emerald Lake, the first of many aqua blue glacier lakes we'll see. We'll settle for the night in the historic town of Banff, in the heart of the Rockies.

Leg 5 - Banff to Rampart Creek (via Lake Louise)

We spend most of the day exploring the area around the most photographed lake in the Rocky Mountains, Lake Louise, including a hike up the mountain beside the lake! We'll then head up the scenic Icefields Parkway to Rampart Creek and our rustic, wilderness hostel.

Leg 6 - Rampart Creek to Edith Cavell

Today we enter Jasper National Park where we'll experience the Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Glacier, as well as numerous lakes (go for a swim!), rivers, waterfalls and mountains. We'll spend another night in a rustic, wilderness hostel, enjoying a campfire in the shadow of the towering Mount Edith Cavell!

Leg 7 - Edith Cavell to Jasper

After a morning hike to the majestic Angel Glacier, we'll head out to Maligne Lake, where you'll have the opportunity to go canoeing, kayaking or on a boat cruise to Spirit Island (optional extra cost), or go for a hike. Then we'll head into the Jasper townsite where you'll have time to explore on your own before an included dinner.

Leg 8 - Jasper to Banff

It's yet another day of jaw dropping vistas, and scenic hikes as we make our way back to Banff and the end of this trip. Highlights include Parker Ridge (seasonal), Peyto Lake and Moraine Lake (seasonal).
