8-Day Western Canada Highlights with Whistler, Banff & Lake Louise

Venture across Western Canada’s greatest landscapes on this small-group coach tour, connecting nature and First Nations experiences in one seamless week. Departing Vancouver and returning via the Okanagan Valley, you’ll travel the Sea-to-Sky Highway, the Icefields Parkway, Rogers Pass and the Coquihalla – all among the finest drives in the world. Hear from your expert guide throughout as they bring the geology, wildlife and history of each region to life.

Two premium experiences are included that most independent travellers pay separately for. The Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure takes you out onto the Athabasca Glacier by snowcoach – one of the most accessible glaciers in North America – and the Banff Gondola delivers panoramic views across six mountain ranges from the summit of Sulphur Mountain. Both are among the Canadian Rockies’ most sought-after experiences.

The cultural thread runs just as strong. A guided visit to the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre in Whistler opens the tour with an introduction to the stories and traditions of two First Nations, while a winery tour and tasting in the Okanagan Valley closes it out on a fittingly relaxed note. With park passes and daily breakfast included, this is Western Canada done right.
