This will be an unforgettable trip for all members of the family visiting some of Canada’s most famous and beautiful national treasures. Your first stop is in the bustling cosmopolitan city of Vancouver, there are an abundance of museums, an aquarium, and water park as well as Stanley Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. Then head to Vancouver Island, from your stays in Campbell River and Tofino you can take bear and whale watching excursions, snorkel with salmon, try your hand at fishing or surf the waves on the never ending Long Beach. From Tofino drive to the island capital of Victoria, here two resident pods of orcas are present and daily boat trips are available.
Next catch the ferry back to the mainland and drive to Wells Gray where horse riding and hiking are available in the summer months and snowmobiling in the winter. The final part of this incredible journey is to Jasper and then south through the world renowned Rocky Mountains, a vast corridor of towering snow capped mountains and breathtaking views around every bend. A stop on the Columbia Icefield is an unmissable excursion, and then maybe take off on one of the many forest trails to lakes and waterfalls.
Finally there is time to indulge in some true wild west activities staying on a guest ranch, ride horses, raft or just relax in the pool or hot tub before flying home from Calgary.
