You will have the opportunity to pick from a list of incredible activities including heading to the Grizzly Bear Refuge, discovering the wolfdogs or taking a full day hike into the local mountainous regions.

From Banff we will travel to the spectacular Yoho National Park on the way to Lake Louise for sightseeing and a little R&R. We will continue onto the World Heritage Listed Jasper National Park, the Canadian Rockies largest national park where you’ll have ample free time to explore and take in this natural wonder.

We leave Jasper aboard the world famous Rocky Mountaineer for a scenic rail journey to Kamloops, in the heart of the British Columbia’s interior. You will be captivated throughout the trip by the dramatic scenery of snow-capped peaks, amazing glaciers and winding river canyons, quickly discovering why this rail journey is so famous.

The adventure still continues as we head west to the coastal city of Vancouver on board the Rocky Mountaineer. The journey will be unforgettable as you spend the day soaking up the dramatic changes in scenery from desert-like landscapes to the lush green fields of the Fraser River Valley.

In Vancouver you will explore the best of the city including Stanley Park, Prospect Point and English Bay beaches.

Following our cruise, we continue our adventure to Vancouver Island before arriving in Victoria for a jam packed cultural tour of BC’s capital. Highlights here will include Inner Harbour, The Empress, The Parliament and the BC Museum.

From wandering around the city sights, we amp up the adventure again in the final leg of your solos tour as we explore Horseshoe Bay on board a Sea Safari. This is the ultimate way to wrap up your trip racing beside steep cliffs, watching seals at play and observing majestic bald eagles. Just sit back, take in the city views and discover the unique ecosystem of the Pacific North West.

For those who have some energy spare, you can spend your last day in Vancouver at your leisure or squeeze in another day tour which is sure to impress.

TRACY ARMThis narrow, 26-mile-long fjord is another of Alaska’s most dramatic glacier settings. The lush rain forest recedes to reveal a stunning canyon of bare rock. The panorama of 7,000-foot mountain peaks and nearly vertical rock cliffs is astounding. Waterfalls appear at every turn. Icebergs make their way to the sea in all sorts of wondrous shapes. And tucked away at the end of this remarkable waterway are two very active reminders of the Ice Age - the twin Sawyer Glaciers, calving icebergs into the jade-colored inland sea. Kittiwakes, mountain goats and seals are a common sight. Whales and bears may even make an appearance in this magical place.

JUNEAULocated at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau Channel, the town of Juneau has the massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields at its back door. Juneau is the place to let your imagination run wild. Explore the lush Tongass National Forest. Visit the rustic shops in town. Or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, hike, whale watch, flightsee or fish. There is no end to the adventure because of the long daylight hours. Climb aboard the Mt. Roberts Tramway for a great spot to hike and shoot a souvenir photo.

SKAGWAYThe sidewalks are all but rolled up in Skagway come winter, so you can only imagine the frightful conditions endured by the gold prospectors who passed through en route to the Yukon, with a mandatory ton of supplies to be hauled with them over the steep and treacherous Trail of ‘98. Today, summertime visits to Skagway require nothing of the sort, but you can still ride the antique White Pass & Yukon narrow-gauge railway up through silvery-purple rock faces, past Deadhorse Gulch, to see what it was like back then.Take your time and poke into every little store from the Trail Bench to Lynch & Kennedy’s Dry Goods. The Red Onion Saloon, with its honky tonk piano and costumed barmaids, is a treasure trove of memorabilia featuring pictures of Klondike Kate, Peahull Annie and other vintage characters. To complete the picture of those rip-roaring days, visit the nostalgic Trail of ‘98 Museum. The Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park boasts restored buildings and wooden boardwalks that invite you to take a stroll into the past.

GALCIER BAYAs Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park; protects a unique ecosystem of plants and animals living in concert with an ever-changing glacial landscape. How does it feel when a monumental chunk of ice splits off a glacier and crashes into the sea? The sound is like thunder. The impact shoots water hundreds of feet into the air. You hold your breath as you catch the moment on film. Then you wait for it all to happen again. And it does. Glacier Bay has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anyplace else in the world.

KETCHIKANBuilt out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows and drapes the mountains with a cheerful air. Besides the main attractions - Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village, try a flightseeing trip to breathtaking Misty Fjords National Monument--a transformational adventure not to be missed. These deep water fjords left by retreating glaciers left granite cliffs towering thousands of feet above the sea and countless waterfalls cascading into placid waters. The souvenir photos you’ll take from the pontoons of the plane are worth the trip alone.

INSIDE PASSAGEThe fabled Inside Passage is one of the most scenic sea-lanes in the world, and one of the few where deep-draft vessels can sail close to steep mountain walls. The scenery is unbelievable, with forests in a hundred shades of green, tumbling turquoise glaciers, and evocative towns loaded with history, culture and adventure. With most of Southeast Alaska accessible only by boat or plane, the Inside Passage is a lifeline to the outside world. All day long it hums with activity.

Day 20 [18th May 2016]: VANCOUVER (B/D)After breakfast you will disembark and your group will depart in a chartered coach to Horseshoe Bay for a fun adventure. Step aboard a Sea Safari for an unforgettable ride on Howe Sound today. You will find yourself racing beside steep cliffs, watching seals at play, observe the majestic bald eagles and other marine birds go about their daily activities and peeking into sea caves. Sit back and take in some city views and learn about this unique ecosystem of the Pacific North West. With an experienced guide at the helm you won’t miss a thing. Duration 2 hours. Afterwards return to Vancouver with the afternoon at leisure. This evening, walk to Joe Fortes Seafood and Chophouse for a farewell dinner. § Overnight at the Blue Horizon Hotel in Standard Rooms.

Day 21 [19th May 2016]: DEPARTURE VANCOUVER (B) § Full breakfast at the hotel.

Your tour ends today after breakfast. Please check out of your room by 1100hrs.

Altitude sickness: You may also be affected by altitude sickness. Parts of our trip go above 2800 metres where it is common for travellers to experience some adverse health effects due to the altitude - regardless of your age, gender and fitness. It even happened to Sir Edmund Hillary!

Before your trip: Some pre-existing medical conditions are known to severely worsen at high altitude and be difficult to adequately treat on the ground, leading to more serious consequences. It is imperative that you discuss your pre-existing medical condition/s with your doctor. We understand certain medications are reported to aid acclimatising to high altitude. Please discuss these options with your doctor.

During your trip: While our tour guides have basic first aid training and are aware of the closest medical facilities, it is very important that you are aware of the cause and effects of travelling at altitude, monitor your health and seek assistance accordingly.
