You’ll transfer to Banff, a sensationally beautiful wonderland, where you have two days to explore the delightful town and the wilderness beyond.

Then you’re bear spotting in the wilderness. Then you’re fishing on the Campbell River. Then you’re surfing in Tofino. Then you’re having tea in a posh hotel in Victoria. It’s a trip that ticks off some of the unmissable highlights of BC – and you’ll want to come back for more.

This epic journey is one of our all-time favourite itineraries and one of those holidays where the experiences are as much in the journeys as in the destinations.

Top it off with a scenic flight back to waterfront Vancouver.

Enjoy a sophisticated city break in the waterfront Pacific Rim metropolis of Vancouver before heading to the playground that is Whistler – it’s an easy 75-mile transfer on the Sea to Sky Highway between the two.

Here, takes any turn you want; wet and wild rides alongside humpback whales, aerial strides over rainforest bridges or nostalgic strolls through Gastown’s lamp-lit streets.
