Best of Canada Winter Tour with Northern Lights Viewing & Rockies Helicopter Flight

Turquoise glacial waters, starlit canyon walks and the shimmering Northern Lights call on this wild and wintry small-group tour of Canada’s northwest. Sample Vancouver’s finest culinary delights and shop at the Market Hall on Granville Island, then set your sights for the astounding Lake Louise and a mountain retreat at a spectacular stay overlooking her frosted shores. Chart the scene on an introductory snowshoe tour and watch keenly for caribou. Next, visit the thermal springs of Banff that gave rise to Canada’s first national park and sweep the skies on a scenic helicopter tour over the Rocky Mountains before descending into snowy silence on an evening icewalk through Johnston Canyon.

Travel this rugged landscape in comfort with coach transport, with time and energy to dig deep into the history of these ancient wilds with the help of experts along the way. Then fly north to explore the vast landscape of Canada’s Northwest Territories from your lakeside base in Yellowknife. Spend three nights in wonder as you search the skies for the elusive aurora borealis and navigate through wooded trails with the help of a family of sled-dogs. Cap things off when you leave the city far behind and settle in with heated seats and hot drinks at Aurora Village – the ideal spot to watch the shifting colours in the sky.
