Fuel up with an Iconic Breakfast in Heritage Park Historical Village that includes before-hours entry to Gasoline Alley Museum, the world’s largest public collection of antique vehicles and oil- and gas-related artefacts. You’ll even have a private guide for an overview of the museum’s vintage treasures and time for a look on your own.

Canmore Inn & Suites
Day 3 – Banff National Park
Rise and shine! Start the day with a selection of optional helicopter flights (weather dependent). In Banff, take a sightseeing tour along Tunnel Mountain Drive ticking off Cascade Mountain, Mt. Rundle, Bow Falls and the surreal hoodoos. Spend the rest of the day your way with a choice of optional excursions.
Choose Golf with a view at Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course or join a Plant Medicine Walk with a First Nations Local Specialist. Or, in Canmore, get up on four wheels with an e-bike food tour or hit the water on a raft tour. End the evening on a high with a Gondola ride and dinner with a view.
Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa
Day 4 – Icefields Parkway & Jasper
The Rockies, ancient glaciers, mountain lakes and sweeping valleys… it could only be the iconic Icefields Parkway. Make your way up to the Columbia Icefield for a ride on the giant Ice Explorer across the Athabasca Glacier before trekking across the ice for your first sip of fresh glacial water. Visit Athabasca Falls and continue to Jasper, the perfect spot to get back to nature. Tonight, you could choose to see the “From Jasper With Love” energetic, live theatre performance.
Lobstick Lodge, Jasper
Day 5 – Jasper National Park
As the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, explore exactly as you like with a choice of excursions. Spot wildlife as you float down the Athabasca River. Have your heart set on beautiful Maligne Lake? A boat cruise around the largest glacially fed lake in the Canadian Rockies could be perfect for you. If you’re looking to get active, choose to see the park on a guided nature hike. Food-lovers can join a Jasper Food Tour or three-course dinner followed by a twilight wildlife tour and interpretive “Horns and Antlers” talk at Becker’s Chalets.
Lobstick Lodge, Jasper
Day 6 – Jasper to Sun Peaks
Ahh, Jasper. Your time here isn’t over yet! Your journey through the park takes you past towering pines, surging rivers, waterfalls and alpine meadows. The crowning glory will no doubt be your first glimpse of Mount Robson, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most prominent mountain in the North American Rockies, and the highest point in the Canadian range.
Sun Peaks Lodge
Day 7 – Victoria
Your journey begins with a ferry to Vancouver Island before making the short drive into Victoria. No doubt struck by the English influence of the city, tick off the sights on an orientation tour along the waterfront district and into downtown. Pass the grand Parliament Buildings, Government Street and through Beacon Hill Park. Keen to explore even further? Victoria has more cycle routes than any other Canadian city, so the best way to get around is undoubtedly on two wheels.
The Vic, Ascend Hotel Collection
Day 8 – Victoria
The blooms and blossoms of world-famous Butchart Gardens is a gardener’s paradise. Stroll through this 55-acre showcase of gardens to see why it has been named a national historic site of Canada. The rest of the day is yours to explore Victoria at your leisure. Discover the Olympic Mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, James and Sydney Islands and the Saanich Peninsula on the Victoria Panorama seaplane tour. Or, wildlife fans will want to join a Victoria whale watching cruise keeping an eye out for the “locals.”
Red Lion Inn and Suites Victoria
Day 9 – Vancouver
Framed by dramatic vistas on all sides, Vancouver is known as a nature haven and adventure hub. Vancouver residents (and visitors) can ski in the morning and go for a swim in the ocean in the afternoon. Arriving by ferry, you’ll kick off your stay here with a tour of historic Gastown, vibrant Chinatown and the green jewel in the city’s crown, Stanley Park. Tonight, why not choose to celebrate an amazing end to your tour with a winery tour and tasting? Cheers!

Day 10 – Farewell from Vancouver
