This 12-day tour takes in the highlights of the Canadian Rockies and two of the country’s most fascinating cities, Calgary and Vancouver.

Take the gondola up to Sulphur Mountain for a breathtaking panorama, watch for bears, moose and elk in Banff National Park before exploring stunning Lake Louise.

Discover canyons, icefields and glaciers on one of the world’s best drives – the incredible Icefields Parkway to Jasper. Explore lakes and gorges in Jasper National Park then cross the Rockies to the Alpine resort of Sun Peaks in British Columbia.

Finish your tour in cosmopolitan Vancouver, crossing the spine-tingling Capilano Suspension Bridge and cycling through the urban rainforest of Stanley Park before feasting on local cuisine in Granville Island Market.

Our expert's opinion

“There are so many breathtaking views in the Canadian Rockies that I run out of superlatives. Icefields Parkway is probably the highlight for me. The blue hue of Columbia Glacier is unlike anything I’ve ever seen and the Glacier Skywalk is unforgettable. ”
