DAY 3: Banff.
The day is yours to enjoy the many pleasures of Banff, one of Canada's favourite year-round resorts with summer activities including hiking, boating, and fishing. Perhaps you'd like to take an optional helicopter ride high over the Canadian Rockies? In the evening, there's a chance to join our optional 'Oh Canada Eh?!' dinner and theatre excursion.
DAY 4: Banff - Lake Louise - Columbia Icefield - Jasper.
We travel first to Lake Louise, its azure-blue waters a perfect natural mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and glaciers. Precipitous gorges, snow-capped mountain ranges, and lakes of exquisite blues and greens come into view as we head through two mountain passes on the journey northward. After stopping at the Columbia Icefield for an exciting snowcoach ride over the 1,200-feet-thick Athabasca Glacier, we arrive in the picturesque resort of Jasper. After an orientation tour of the town, there's a chance to join our optional raft trip down the Athabasca River.

The Yellowhead Highway continues south alongside the mighty Thompson River with spectacular vistas of the Monashee Mountains. Overnight in Kamloops.
DAY 6: Kamloops - Victoria. Included sightseeing.
Enjoy more spectacular landscapes as we travel through British Columbia's lush Coast Mountain Range to its majestic Pacific coastline. We sail across the Strait of Georgia and through the spectacular Gulf Islands, an archipelago known for its Mediterranean-type climate, to Victoria, the provincial capital and western Canada's oldest city. Our included afternoon sightseeing tour features visits to the world-famous Butchart Gardens which celebrated its one hundredth anniversary in 2004, Bastion Square and Thunderbird Park, with its unusual collection of totem poles. In the evening, how about a stroll around the lovely waterfront?
Note: On some departures, the visit to Butchart Gardens will be on Day 8.
