ITINERARY:

DAY 1 - Arriving in Banff

Your motorcoach adventure begins in downtown Calgary this morning and heads towards the alpine town of Banff. Upon arrival, a sightseeing excursion will take you to the hoodoos and a photograph stop of the Bow River. Afterwards make you way to the summit of Banff's Sulphur Mountain aboard a gondola. Your evening will be spent in the townsite of Banff, providing ample opportunity to explore the many sights, shops and restaurants.

DAY 2 - Visiting Lake Louise and the Columbia Icefield

Enjoy a full day guided excursion along the spectacular Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park. Here you will experience a unique Brewster Ice Explorer onto the surface of the Athabasca Glacier. You will then have time to visit the many scientific and historical displays in the Icefield Centre, before retracing your route along the Icefield Parkway, and returning to Banff late this afternoon.

DAY 3 - Banff to Lac Le Jeune

This morning you will continue westward through the towering rugged peaks of the Canadian Rockies. Stop at world famous Lake Louise before venturing over the Kicking Horse Pass and Continental Divide to reach Revelstoke by lunchtime. After your meal stop, the journey continues through British Columbia's interior. An evening buffet at the peaceful Lac Le Jeune resort awaits your arrival.

DAY 4 - Lac Le Jeune to Whistler

Today's tour will travel to Vancouver via the Coquihalla Highway. It passes through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the province. This dramatic change of environment is always exhilarating, as you go from misty coastal cedars and tall firs to bright sunlight on the high rock faces in the space of half an hour. Continue past the Coquihalla, traveling through Hope. While here, be sure to try to get some photos of the world-famous totem poles. Minter Gardens is the lunch stop for today. After lunch, there will be some time for a leisurely stroll around the world-class gardens before your departure for Whistler.

DAY 5 - Whistler to Vancouver

After a free morning, travel along the magnificent Sea to Sky Highway into Vancouver to complete your journey either downtown or at the Vancouver International Airport.
