ITINERARY
Tour image

Days 1-3  Vancouver
Fly to cosmopolitan Vancouver and make your way to your hotel. Perhaps hire a bike and cycle the stunning seawall – a great place to spot whales from land – and stop to see the totem poles in leafy Stanley Park. Grab some lunch at Granville market, then maybe hop on a free shuttle out to Grouse Mountain where you can challenge yourself to hike up the ‘Grouse Grind’, or just enjoy the view from the cable car.

Days 4-6  Vancouver to Whistler            
Pick up your motorhome and hit the open road down the legendary Sea to Sky Highway. Enjoy a few days in the outdoor playground of Whistler. Immerse yourself in the mountains hiking through alpine meadows or perhaps hire a bike and hit the trails.

Day 7  Whistler to Sun Peaks
Pass by the gold rush towns of Lillooet and Cache Creek on your way to Sun Peaks. This charming mountain resort boasts golf courses and scenic walking trails.

Days 8-10  Sun Peaks to Jasper NP
Venture into the spectacular Canadian Rockies as you reach Jasper National Park, boasting crystal clear lakes and opportunities for wildlife viewing.

Days 11-12  Jasper NP to Lake Louise
Journey down the epic Icefields Parkway, stopping on the way to head out to the Athabasca Glacier on an Ice Explorer vehicle. Step on the glistening ice before seeing it from above on the Columbia Icefield Skywalk. Upon arrival in Lake Louise, visit its eponymous lake. Perhaps set out on a canoe or hike to a spectacular viewpoint over its bright blue waters.

Days 13-15  Lake Louise to Banff NP
Make the short journey to Banff National Park and spend a few days exploring the charming alpine village, ascending the peaks on gondola rides and unwinding in welcoming hot springs.

Days 16-17  Banff NP to Kelowna
Say goodbye to the Rockies as you head into British Columbia's wine country. Surrounded by gorgeous mountain scenery, Kelowna is the perfect place to stop and savour everything the Okanagan Valley has to offer.

Days 18-19  Fly home
Drive back to Vancouver to drop off your motorhome in time for your flight home.
