If there’s a theme to this particular itinerary it’s the sea and some of the most remarkable coastal scenery on the planet, coupled with lots of marine life and an abundance of seabirds, which you’ll experience both on scenic drives and from the deck of a ferry.

A marriage of coast and mountains that fully reveals the incredible natural beauty of western Canada, this is a journey that’s underpinned with luxurious accommodation.

A self drive tour, heading through BC’s Kelowna winelands and the mountains of the Rockies, culminating in a scenically splendid train ride on the Rocky Mountaineer.

An itinerary that will take you to the remote north of the region, incorporating a ferry ride along the Inside Passage, sightings of grizzly bear from Prince Rupert, a journey across the top of British Columbia, a scenic drive along the Icefields Parkway and the option to enjoy the remarkable Skeena railroad.

Western Canada is a king size holiday playground for families. The sheer scale of the scenery will score high on the ‘wow’ index, as will the likely sightings of wildlife, whales and bears included. There’s also an abundance of activities to thrill all ages, from white water rafting to kayaking, zip wiring to mountain biking, mostly organised from the resorts (where two bedroom apartments, cabins or suites are generally available).

A self drive through the coast and mountains region of Vancouver, Vancouver Islands and Whistler.

As well as admiring the natural assets, you’ll spend time dipping into maritime museums, whale watching, going for bracing walks and, of course, canoeing. And with non-stop, five to seven hour flights from the UK, this clean, safe and abundantly natural world is a lot closer than you may think, comparable to a flight to the Canaries or Egypt.

On this round trip you will travel some of the most spectacular landscapes and national parks Alaska and the Yukon have to offer. Follow the trails of the old gold diggers and adventurers on this 14 day trip.
