Motorcoach Tour Itinerary
Day 01: Calgary - Banff
Arrive in Calgary at your leisure. You motorcoach journey commends with a pick up at the Calgary International Airport or selected downtown hotels. Enjoy the scenic drive towards the Rocky Mountains - past Kananaskis towards Banff. Banff is located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a popular destination with its majestic mountains, sparkling blue glaciers and alpine wildflower meadows. This morning your guide will show you the sights and attractions of Banff. Visit the Banff Springs Hotel, Cave and Basin Center, the Hoodoos at Tunnel Mountain and glacier-blue Lake Minnewanka.
Day 02: Banff National Park
Today you have more time to visit the sights and attractions of Banff. This morning attend a scenic cruise on glacier-blue Lake Minnewanka. This magnificent cruise consists of a 1.5 hour interpretive tour of Lake Minnewanka and surrounding area. The experienced crew will guide you through this rugged paradise richly steeped in history, native folklore and geology. Later visit the Whyte Museum where you'll learn more about the wildlife and history of Banff.
Day 03: Banff - Icefields Parkway - Lake Louise
The splendour of the Icefields Parkway can hardly be overstated: a 230-kilometre road from Lake Louise to Jasper through the heart of the Rockies, it ranks as one of the world's most spectacular mountain highway. The Icefields Parkway follows the Rockies, crossing through several mountain passes, and skirting many glaciers, lakes and abundant wildlife. Arrive at the Columbia Icefield, presenting an awesome sight when first viewed from the Icefields Parkway. Here you have the chance to take a ride in one of the chunky Snocoaches to experience the glacier. The vehicle makes a thrillingly steep descent from the lateral moraine to travel some distance along the surface of the glacier, allowing passengers a walk on the ice before returning (included). Stay overnight at the 'Jewel of the Rockies' Lake Louise with towering Chateau Lake Louise. This evening you have time to stroll alongside the lake.
Day 04: Lake Louise - Kelowna
This morning it is time to leave the Canadian Rockies and step back on the bus. Enjoy the first photo stop at Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park. From here you frequently stop at interesting and historical places like Craigellachie where the last spike of the CP railway was driven, the Kicking Horse Canyon, Spiral Tunnels and Rogers Pass. Have lunch while enjoying scenic views of glaciers and snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies. Enjoy the spectacular scenery as you leave the mountain area and travel across ranchlands and the rocky lakeshores of Shuswap Lake. Arrive in time for your evening dinner in Kelowna.
Day 05: Kelowna - Vancouver
The first stop of the day is at a local winery for an exclusive tour and educational wine tasting. Sample a variety of hand-crafted Okanagan wines in this unique and authentic setting, surrounded by the actual vineyards where the fruit is produced on site. Depart the Okanagan Valley on the Coquihalla highway which travels through the interior to the town of Merritt. Continue through the heart of ranching country and back into mountainous territory. Later in the day, a two hour stop at Minter Gardens will feed your body and soothe your senses with a delectable lunch (included) and guided walk through the exquisite gardens. On the last leg of your journey, you’ll find yourself travelling through the lush Fraser delta region and then into downtown Vancouver, for a late afternoon arrival.
