WEST COAST ESSENTIALS- 7 NIGHTS / 8 DAYS
VANCOUVER / VANCOUVER

Vancouver, Whistler and Victoria are three of the 'must-sees' on most travellers' journeys through British Columbia. Our new fly/drive will give you the opportunity to travel independently at your own pace. Discover the oceanside city of Vancouver with visits to historic Gastown and the 1000-acre Stanley Park, or take the day to leisurely shop along Robson Street. You have the option to take a day trip from Vancouver to Whistler and explore the natural surroundings of this world-class resort town. Your trip ends in Victoria where you can relax and sightsee, or participate in a memorable whalewatching excursion.
