About this adventure tour...

The ultimate journey into Canada's most treasured natural beauty - the glorious Canadian Rockies!

Awe-inspiring landscapes embrace the stunning Canadian Rockies, pristine wilderness lakes, and the rugged coastal beauty of Vancouver Island. This tour highlights Canada's most vibrant cities, mountain biking, river rafting, whale watching, wilderness canoeing, and of course, spectacular hiking!

Discover the North Cascades and the old-fashioned town of Winthrop. View the alpine meadows of Mt. Revelstoke en route to the wonder of Yoho National Park and the Canadian Rockies. While experiencing Banff National Park, hike, mountain bike, soak in hot springs, enjoy excellent nightlife in town, and take a breath-taking mountain helicopter flight, before heading to the gleaming boomtown of Calgary.

Back to the Rockies to hike the panoramic trails at Lake Louise, the "gem of the Rockies". Visit the chateau or hike up to the tea house for incredible vistas. Another visually stunning day awaits on the journey over the Icefields Parkway and through the heart of the Rockies - truly one of the world's ultimate drives.

Photographers will marvel at the turquoise hue of alpine lakes, countless peaks, forests and abundant wildlife. This superb route commands panoramic views of glaciers, forests and a chance to view wildlife. Leave the Rockies for an overnight canoe trip into the wilderness of Wells Grey Provincial Park.

The adventure continues with a rafting trip on the Thompson River, and the year-round resort of Whistler offers mountain biking and a multitude of other attractions. The beautiful "Sea to Sky" highway leads to the spectacularly situated city of Vancouver.

Sample museums, take a leisurely bike ride in Stanley Park, visit the lively Granville Market and enjoy the exciting nightlife.

A scenic ferry ride to Vancouver Island, and a special visit to the wild Pacific Rim National Park for whale watching and perhaps paddling a sea kayak in the abundant sheltered coves. Last stop - the stately city of Victoria offers the impressive Royal British Columbia Museum, beautiful gardens and much more. Another ferry trip, then back to Seattle for a visit to Pike Place Market, or browse fine bookstores, explore the waterfront, indulge in America's best micro-brews and coffee - an impressive end to a truly active tour!
