Description

Day 1: Vancouver to Kelowna We kick off our adventure by heading east through the Fraser Valley, where we’ll stop for a short walk through a lush West Coast rainforest to the stunning Bridal Veil Falls. We’ll then pass through the town of Hope, famous for its stunning landscapes and as the filming location for parts of the iconic Rambo movie. Next, we’ll journey through the Cascade Mountains, exploring the serene beauty of Lightning Lake in EC Manning Provincial Park before heading to Penticton for some paddleboarding (seasonal) on the tranquil waters of Skaha Lake. Finally, we’ll settle in for the evening in Kelowna, where we’ll enjoy a delicious dinner at Kekuli Café, known for its Indigenous-inspired cuisine. Day 2: Kelowna to Banff or Lake Louise Today we start our day with a visit to Frind Estate Winery bakery in Kelowna, where you can enjoy delicious pastries while taking in stunning views of the vineyards and Okanagan Lake. Keep an eye out—you might even spot the legendary Ogopogo monster!!! From there, we embark on an action-packed journey, crossing three mountain ranges and traveling through four national parks en route to Banff National Park. In the afternoon, you’ll have the option to kayak on the pristine Lake Revelstoke, paddling through crystal-clear waters surrounded by towering mountains. We’ll then stop at Craigellachie, where the historic Last Spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven, marking a pivotal moment in Canadian history.
