Holiday Overview

A superb escorted Canadian Rockies tour from Vancouver to Calgary

 

From the Klondike Gold Rush to the present day, British Columbia has attracted travellers and settlers in search of the good life. As the name implies, many of the province’s current residents have British ancestry - they came not necessarily in search of monetary wealth, but to enjoy the natural riches of wide open spaces, spectacular scenery, pristine lakes and rivers and abundantly fertile land. This tour invites you to join them in appreciation of their heavenly corner of the world, incorporating the friendly city of Vancouver, two full days to explore the beautiful city of Victoria and also an unforgettable journey into the heart of the majestic Canadian Rockies.

Day 4 - Banff > Columbia Icefields > Jasper

This morning we take the Icefields Parkway from Banff National Park to Jasper National Park. This stunningly scenic road links these two great parks, and for over 140 miles takes us through jagged mountain peaks and high forested valleys, passing emerald lakes and mountain-fed streams, waterfalls and rivers. The halfway point is the spectacular Columbia Icefield, one of the biggest accumulations of ice and snow south of the Arctic Circle. Here we take an included Ice Explorer ride on to the surface of the Athabasca Glacier (subject to favourable weather conditions). Turning west, we enter Jasper National Park - 4,200 square miles of alpine forests, natural hot springs, white-water rivers, tranquil valleys and jagged snow-capped mountains. Our hotel for the next two nights is the Lobstick Lodge (3T+).

This morning we are free to relax in Jasper. In the afternoon we board our coach for an unforgettable sightseeing journey that begins with the limestone gorge of Maligne Canyon and continues along the shore of Medicine Lake on to the breathtaking Maligne Lake, the largest of the glacier-fed lakes in the Rockies and the second largest in the world. This evening we enjoy an included dinner with an interpretative talk.

A feeding ground for whales, dolphins, sea-lions and birds, the Strait of Georgia is a paradise of small islands with beach-front houses and towering fir trees, some as much as 600 years old.

Day 11 - Vancouver

Vancouver is considered by many to have one of the most spectacular settings in the world - in the foreground the encircling Pacific Ocean and, as a backdrop, the grandeur of Grouse Mountain. For natural beauty, there is the 1,000-acre Stanley Park, the largest urban park in North America. It is Vancouver’s green heart - a wilderness area of forest, marshland and beaches. Surrounded by ocean on three sides, the park houses the aquarium and the zoo. For excitement and variety, Chinatown, centred on Pender Street, is a city apart. Vancouver’s 100,000 Chinese are expected soon to surpass San Francisco’s as the largest community outside the Far East. Shops, hotels, markets and restaurants along with incessant activity combine to create a vibrant atmosphere. The Gastown area of the city is distinguished by cobbled walkways, gas lamps, quaint shops and restaurants. As an introduction to this fabulous city we have arranged a short orientation tour; then you are free to discover its wonders for yourself. This afternoon we offer you the opportunity for an optional excursion to Grouse Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge.

Day 12 - Vancouver

A relaxing free day to further enjoy Vancouver. There are 9,000 marine and freshwater animals at the aquarium in Stanley Park. The Classical Chinese Garden is a replica from the Ming Dynasty and the only one of its kind outside China. You can view the whole panorama from the Harbour Tower, with its observation deck and revolving restaurant. Granville Island, a friendly easy-going and popular spot, is alive with shops, markets, galleries, clubs and a marina. To the west of downtown is Kitsilano Beach which looks out over English Bay towards Stanley Park. Sit outside one of its cafés for an idyllic spot to watch the sun go down.
