Welcome to outdoorsy, nature-loving Vancouver! Also known as one of the world’s most culturally rich cities, Vancouver is the kind of place where you can ski in the morning, swim in the ocean by early afternoon and indulge in the city’s diverse culinary scene in the evening. After settling in to your hotel, you’ll meet your Travel Director this afternoon.

This morning’s sightseeing tour of Vancouver puts you right in the heart of city's oldest neighbourhood, Gastown, which was designated a National Historic Site in 2009. You'll also visit buzzy Chinatown and admire the famous collection of totem poles at Stanley Park before travelling along the awe-inspiring Sea-to-Sky Highway. This scenic drive showcases jagged mountain peaks and cascading waterfalls to your right and the dreamy ocean vistas of Howe Sound to your left. Stop at Shannon Falls Provincial Park, which boasts the third highest waterfall in British Columbia. Still in awe of the scenery on today's drive, finish in the alpine village of Whistler, nestled in the shadows of the Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
