    UK - Banff

    Arrive and transfer to the Fairmont Banff Springs, a quintessential luxury mountain resort.

    Banff

    Immerse yourself in the beauty by taking a ride on the Banff Gondola, for panoramic views of the Bow Valley. When you reach the top of Sulphur Mountain, take a dip in the highest hot springs in Canada. This afternoon lift off from the Canmore Heliport with your guide for a scenic flight through Cougar Canyon. Touch down deep in the mountains and enjoy the solitude of an alpine meadow.

    Moraine Lake and Yoho National Park

    Your guide will point out the local peaks, waterfalls and moraines as you stroll along the lakeshore or simply enjoy the view of Moraine Lake. Continue to Lake Louise ­- world famous for its turquoise colour, the Victoria Glacier, soaring mountain backdrops and palatial hotel. Finish the day with a visit to Yoho National Park, the quieter and less visited of these national parks. Watch for bears, elk, moose and other wildlife as you explore.

    Banff - Kamloops

    It's all aboard the Rocky Mountaineer for a scenic rail journey to Kamloops in British Columbia now. Leaving Jasper National Park, the train follows the Yellowhead route which passes towering Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. The journey then follows the mighty Thompson River, the route of early fur traders, before arriving in Kamloops, where you'll spend the night in a hotel.

    Kamloops - Vancouver

    Back onboard the train, it’s time to wave farewell to Kamloops. The journey follows the path of the Thompson River, through Ashcroft and Rainbow Canyon, where the cliffs have pink, green and grey hues. Continue through Fraser Canyon, where you’ll witness the torrential waters flowing through Hells Gate. The last leg takes you through the scenic Fraser Valley, arriving in Vancouver late afternoon.

    Vancouver City Tour

    Today you’ll enjoy the best of Vancouver on a personalised tour of the city. The friendly, well-informed guides will take you around downtown and the buzzing neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Gastown and fashionable Yaletown. In the afternoon, you can head to Stanley Park to see its famous totem poles, or pick up last-minute souvenirs at Granville Island Market. End the day at LookOut Tower, watching the sun set over the city.

    Whistler

    Gaze out at panoramic ocean views, towering mountains, and sprawling glaciers as you travel along the Coast Range. Take advantage of bountiful photo opportunities. In Whistler experience the gondola. Spanning a record-setting distance between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, it provides you with an unparalleled perspective of the peaks, coastal rainforest and ancient glaciers.

    Vancouver - UK

    Today your Canada itinerary comes to an end. It's time to say farewell to Canada, and head to Vancouver International Airport in time for your flight home.
