• Start your trip on Canada’s west coast, where Vancouver pairs harbour views with a backdrop of North Shore mountains. It’s an easy city to get into, with neighbourhoods like Gastown offering cobbled streets and independent boutiques, while Coal Harbour gives you that waterfront setting right from the start. Using your hop-on hop-off pass, you can move between Stanley Park, English Bay, and Granville Island without overthinking the route.

• Next, you’ll head out onto the Salish Sea with Prince of Whales for a half-day whale watching trip. Boats cut through open water as guides track the movement of orcas and humpbacks, often spotting them surfacing or feeding in the distance. Back in the city, you’ll have time to indulge in the local food scene, from freshly shucked oysters near the harbour to casual spots in Yaletown and the busy food stalls inside Granville Island Public Market.

• You’ll then travel up to Whistler along the Sea-to-Sky Highway, where the journey itself is part of the experience, with coastal views, waterfalls, and mountain climbs along the way. One of the highlights here is the evening bear viewing excursion, where you head out in a Land Rover at sunset, scanning the landscape for black bears as they forage. In between, Whistler Village offers plenty to dip into, from local restaurants to scenic lift rides and walking trails that open up views across the valley.

• Your stay is split between two well-located hotels that make exploring straightforward. In Vancouver, Coast Coal Harbour puts you close to the waterfront in a Coast King Room with modern design, generous space, and large windows, plus access to a pool and fitness centre. In Whistler, Crystal Lodge places you right in the village centre, with comfortable rooms, an outdoor heated pool, a hot tub, and everything from restaurants to shops just a short walk from your door.
