Why take this tour?

The perfect tour to see and enjoy the best of Western Canada. Starting in Vancouver you’ll head east to Osoyoos in the Okanagan, Canada’s lone desert. Continue east for a stay in the charming town of Nelson, in the heart of the Kootenays. You’ll fall in love with this charming lakeside town with its boutique shops and breweries! Next head into Alberta for a 2-night stay in the spectacular Waterton Lakes National Park. Relax in the park and indulge in the spectacular scenery (lake cruise included). Finally, you’ll visit Calgary with a stop at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump National Historic Site (UNESCO approved) to learn more about the indigenous culture of the area. After 1 night and a city highlights tour of Calgary, you’ll spend two nights in Banff to explore the Rocky Mountains and glacier-fed turquoise lakes before travelling over Rogers Pass for a night in the Okanagan town of Vernon. Please note that aspects of the itinerary are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
