Itinerary
Welcome to the west coast! Touch down in Vancouver and make your own way to the hotel, where your adventure begins. You’ll meet your Travel Director and fellow travelers this afternoon — the perfect time to get the lowdown on the trip and swap hellos with your new crew. If you’re in town early, why not stretch your legs with a wander along the waterfront?
Vancouver, BC
Between the North Shore mountains and the Pacific, with Stanley Park, Granville Island, Gastown and the Capilano Suspension Bridge inside the city and its edges.
Kick things off with a proper look at Vancouver. Your Travel Director will show you the city's best bits, from historic Gastown with its famous steam clock to the lush landscapes of Stanley Park. Keep your camera ready — there's something to see around every corner. Then it’s time to swap city sights for sea views as you board the ferry to Vancouver Island. Glide across the Strait of Georgia, watching for coastal scenery and maybe even a seal or two. You’ll land in the charming city of Victoria, ready to explore more tomorrow.

Victoria, BC
This city on Vancouver Island in the central Pacific Ocean is the capital of British Columbia. It is home to many popular attractions, such as Beacon Hill Park, Butchart Gardens, the British Columbia Parliament Buildings, and more.
Start your day with breakfast in the blooming beauty of Butchart Gardens — it’s a proper feast for all your senses. Stroll through vibrant floral displays before heading into Victoria for an orientation with your Travel Director. You’ll spot Canada’s oldest Chinatown, the iconic Empress Hotel, the harbourfront and the grand Parliament Buildings. The rest of the day is yours to explore. Stroll down Government Street, grab a coffee by the waterfront or check out the Royal BC Museum. You could join a Choice Experience and head out on the water for a whale watching tour. Whether you’re into sightseeing or sea spray, there’s plenty of ways to make the most of your time.

This city on Vancouver Island in the central Pacific Ocean is the capital of British Columbia. It is home to many popular attractions, such as Beacon Hill Park, Butchart Gardens, the British Columbia Parliament Buildings, and more.
Wave goodbye to the coast as you hop on the ferry back to the mainland. Sit back and soak up the views as you cruise across the water — you might even spot a pod of dolphins if you're lucky. Then it’s on the road through British Columbia’s ever-changing landscapes, from thick forests to glacial peaks. Your day ends in Sun Peaks, a laid-back alpine village tucked into the mountains. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, breathe in that fresh air and get set for tomorrow’s adventure.

Keep your eyes on the horizon as you head deeper into the Rockies — the views only get better. Stop off at the Mount Robson Visitor Center to take in the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies (and trust us, it’s a jaw-dropper). Then it’s onwards to Jasper National Park, where you’ll settle in for the night surrounded by pristine wilderness and sky-high peaks.

Today’s drive is something else. You’ll journey down the Columbia Icefields Parkway — one of the world’s most scenic highways — with towering peaks, turquoise lakes and ancient glaciers all along the way. Stop at the Icefields themselves and climb aboard a massive Ice Explorer to roll right out onto Athabasca Glacier. Fill your water bottle with a sip of pure glacier melt — it doesn’t get fresher than that. After all that cool adventure, warm things back up with a photo stop at dreamy Lake Louise. That postcard-perfect turquoise water really lives up to the hype. By evening, you’ll arrive in Banff, ready to relax in this buzzing alpine town.
Icefields Parkway
A 230 km long scenic road that parallels the Continental Divide, traversing the rugged landscape of the Canadian Rockies, travelling through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park. It is named for features such as the Columbia Icefield, visible from the parkway. It links Lake Louise with Jasper to the north. At its southern end, the Icefields Parkway terminates at Highway 1.
Lake Louise
Lake Louise is a glacial lake in Alberta, Canada's Banff National Park. The lake is known for its vibrant blue-green coloration, which comes from rock flour carried into the lake by the water of the nearby melting glaciers.
Banff, AB
Banff, known as the "soul of the Rockies" is a small town located within Banff National Park in Alberta. It is within distance of several hiking mountains and is home to many shops and boutiques.
Rise and shine! Start the day with a selection of tempting helicopter flights, if you choose (weather dependent). Spend the rest of the day your way. Join a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience Plant Medicine Walk with a First Nations Local Guide. Or, you can opt to end the evening with a Gondola ride and dinner with a view.
