Day 1
Calgary
Arrive at Calgary International Airport and transfer independently to your downtown hotel. The rest of the day is free to explore the city, why not head up the Calgary Tower for views over the prairies and distant Rocky Mountains?
Day 2-3
Banff
It's time to head into the mountains as you join a full day sightseeing tour to Banff. Journey to Banff where you will enjoy a spectacular boat cruise on Lake Minnewanka (season dependent) and then continue with sightseeing some of the best sights around the town, including Bow Falls, Surprise Corner and the Hoodoos. After free time for lunch, take a journey up Sulphur Mountain on the Banff Gondola for spectacular views over the town and the Bow Valley. The next day in Banff is yours to explore independently. This mountain town has plenty to see and do, from relaxing in the historic hot springs to outdoor wildlife adventures.
Day 4
Icefields Parkway
Travel from Banff to Jasper on one of the most scenic highways in the world, the Icefields Parkway. After a photo stop at Bow Lake, you will stop at the Columbia Icefield, one of the largest accumulations of ice south of the Arctic Circle and one of the most accessible icefields in North America. Here you will ride on an Ice Explorer to the middle of the Athabasca Glacier and learn about its geological features before stepping out on to the Glacier Skywalk for unobstructed views of the Sunwapta Valley. Lunch is provided at the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Centre. Afterwards, a brief stop will be made at Athabasca Falls before arriving in Jasper in the afternoon.
Day 5
Jasper
Today you have a free day in Jasper to explore the surrounding national park and its majestic scenery. We recommend you book an excursion to nearby Maligne Lake and cruise to Spirit Island, an iconic vista of the Canadian Rockies with distant jagged mountains providing the perfect backdrop. On the outskirts of Jasper and easily reached by local transport are lakes such as Pyramid Lake, where you can hire a canoe, and Lake Annette, with its enticing beach. In the evening take a stroll in downtown Jasper and take your pick from the many different restaurants, bistros, and bars on offer. Look out for wildlife, Jasper is known for the herd of Elk that graze on the outskirts of town.
Day 6
Rocky Mountaineer to Kamloops
Travel on board the Rocky Mountaineer to Kamloops, in the heart of British Columbia's interior. From inside Rocky Mountaineer's signature glass dome carriages you will see dramatic changes in scenery as you travel over the Yellowhead Pass, past Mount Robson, at 3,954 metres the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, along banks of the North Thompson River and into the desert-like environment around Kamloops.
Day 7
Rocky Mountaineer to Vancouver
Step back on board Rocky Mountaineer as you continue west towards the Pacific Ocean. On today's journey you will see more changes in scenery, from the desert-like environment of the B.C. interior through winding river canyons and past the lush green fields of the Fraser Valley.
Day 8
Vancouver
Today is yours to explore this enchanting coastal city. Stroll the historic district of Gastown, which is home to fabulous restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops, take flight at Flyover Canada or join a whale watching tour and go in search of BC's resident orcas.
Day 9
Fly Home
After some last-minute shopping and sight-seeing, your epic Canadian adventure has come to an end. Transfer independently to Vancouver International Airport for your flight home.
