About the trip

G Adventures leads this small-group tour through the Canadian Rockies, starting in Calgary and moving through Banff, Jasper, and Whistler before crossing over to Vancouver Island. Along the way, you'll walk with local experts in Banff, take an ice walk on the Athabasca glacier, and soak in the Miette Hot Springs of Jasper National Park.

The journey includes time in Victoria and Vancouver, with orientation walks giving a quick feel for city life before the next leg of nature and culture. Whistler offers an Indigenous cultural experience alongside mountain air and hiking trails, while more relaxed ferry rides and lake stops break up the travel between the parks. The local guides bring in perspectives from First Nations people, adding depth to the towering landscapes.

Travel is in small vans fitted for rougher roads, with group sizes kept to a maximum of twelve. You should expect two longer driving days as the distances between spots in western Canada are genuine. This tour chooses engaged exploration over rushing, with chances to take in the scenery on foot or from quiet river floats rather than speeding by coach windows.
