Spectacular Rockies & Vancouver

A road trip from Calgary to Vancouver in western Canada is a holiday high on many a traveller’s wish list and this is our version of that incredible journey. Driving through the sensational scenery of Alberta and British Columbia, you’ll climb high into the Rocky Mountains and then travel through canyons and valleys on your way to the coast. Best of all, we take care of the driving so that you can simply sit back, take it all in and enjoy!

We’ve used our years of experience and in-depth knowledge of Canada to create this exciting itinerary. It takes in all the iconic sights and includes off-the-beaten-track treasures too. You’ll see the snow-capped peaks of Banff National Park and breathtaking jade-green waters of Lake Louise before heading north into Jasper National Park. Here, you’ll visit the mighty Columbia Icefield and spectacular Maligne Canyon and then there’s a treat in store for wildlife enthusiasts. You’re going to head off on a river safari through Grizzly Bear Valley on the lookout for, you guessed it, grizzly bears!

Ending with visits to the vibrant coastal cities of Victoria and Vancouver, this wonderful holiday has something for everyone. To make it even more amazing, you can add on a host of exciting experiences with our range of optional excursions.
