Is the West coast of Canada on your radar for 2026 and beyond?

If you’re dreaming of a Canada holiday that feels effortless, scenic and genuinely special, a journey through Vancouver and Whistler is one I love recommending

Laura Jackson on 17 Apr 2026

Canada combines everything people are increasingly asking for: space, nature, beautiful scenery, and time to really enjoy each place without feeling rushed. Vancouver and Whistler work so well together because they offer two very different experiences — without long travel days.

Ask me about tailoring your perfect Canadian adventure. Here is a taste of an itinerary I can put together for you.

Vancouver: A City That Feels Easy to Be In

It’s compact, walkable and wonderfully outdoorsy.  It’s a brilliant place to start a Canadian adventure — relaxed, welcoming, and not overwhelming after a long flight.  You might spend your days walking or cycling around Stanley Park, browsing the food stalls at Granville Island  or exploring historic Gastown and enjoy some fabulous food with a mountain or ocean view.

The Sea to Sky Highway : One of Canada’s Most Beautiful Drives

The drive from Vancouver to Whistler is honestly a highlight in its own right. This scenic route hugs the coastline before climbing into the mountains, with viewpoints, waterfalls and forest scenery along the way. This is the moment a holiday can really start to feel so special — windows down, camera ready, and nothing to do but enjoy the view. For travellers planning 2026 and beyond, this kind of journey led travel has become just as important as the destination itself — and this route delivers it beautifully.

Whistler: Space, Scenery and Time to Slow Down

Whistler isn’t just a winter ski resort — it’s a year round mountain escape, and a wonderful contrast to Vancouver. Depending on when you travel, you could take a stroll, ride the incredible Peak 2 Peak Gondola and  enjoy the lakes.  They'll be time to relax in a spa or enjoy cosy mountain dining too.     It’s perfect for travellers who want nature without sacrificing comfort — and it’s especially popular with couples and first time visitors to Canada.

Tailor Made, Just for You

What I love about this Vancouver and Whistler itinerary is how flexible it is.  You tell me  how long you want to stay in each place, your favourite  hotel style and any experiences you’d love to include.  There are  no set routes, no rushing — just a holiday designed around you.
