About the trip

This two-week escorted tour by Explore Worldwide leads from Vancouver into the Pacific coast’s rainforests and totem poles on Vancouver Island, where time slows down in Victoria’s old town and Butchart Gardens. After some free time near the wild shores of Pacific Rim National Park, the route follows the ‘Sea to Sky’ Highway to Whistler and then onward to the Rockies.

Passing through the vast wilderness of Wells Gray Provincial Park and the glacier country of Jasper National Park, the itinerary includes gentle walks amidst giant Douglas Firs and hikes beside clear waterfalls. The drive along the Icefield Parkway turns up views of the Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Glacier before settling into Canmore and Banff, where paths climb through forest to mountain summits and lakes edged by snow-capped peaks.

The final day visits Kananaskis Country’s calm trails, with a chance to spot wildlife, before the trip ends in Calgary. The journey presses well beyond standard tourist highlights, with time to appreciate the landscape’s quiet details, such as moss-covered boulders and totem carvings, as well as the region’s indigenous heritage.
