West Coast Canada Travel: Explore Stunning British Columbia

What Kind of Holiday Packages to West Coast Canada Do We Offer?

Private Guided Holidays

Make your time in the Canadian Rockies truly unforgettable with a Private Guided Holiday. Travel in comfort with your own luxury vehicle and personal driver-guide, following a schedule tailored to your pace and interests. We’ll arrange seamless private transfers between key Rockies destinations and offer exclusive sightseeing options — from glacier lookouts to wildlife excursions.

That said, a fully private or chartered driver experience across the region comes at a much higher cost. For many travellers, we recommend combining private touring with Self-Drive Adventures or opting for scenic rail and luxury coach options that offer excellent value without sacrificing comfort.

Self-Drive Adventure

Prefer the freedom of the open road? Our Self-Drive Adventures give you the keys to explore Canada’s wild west your way — without the stress of route planning or hotel hunting. We provide a fully curated itinerary, car hire, boutique stays, and insider tips for where to stop, eat, and explore.

Many of our self-drive travellers also join curated small group tours for key highlights along the way — offering a perfect mix of independence and connection.

Scenic Rail Experience

Sit back and let the landscapes roll by on some of the most scenic rail routes in the world. Beyond the iconic Rocky Mountaineer, we can also include the VIA Rail Canada overnight and scenic trains.

If you’re not planning to drive, this is one of the most relaxing and immersive ways to experience the journey between coastal cities and mountain towns. For added comfort and connection, we can pair rail journeys with 26-seater luxury scheduled bus services — featuring leather seats, air-ride suspension, and generous luggage space.

Canada Holiday Package Highlights

Our West Coast Canada tours highlight the region’s most iconic landscapes and unforgettable experiences. From alpine adventures to wildlife encounters, these handpicked moments ensure you experience the very best of British Columbia and Alberta’s rugged beauty, cultural charm, and untamed wilderness.

When to Travel to West Coast Canada

Four Seasons of Adventure — From Bear Sightings to Snow-Dusted Peaks

West Coast Canada transforms with every season. June to September is ideal for outdoor adventures, open trails, and wildlife viewing, with grizzlies and black bears most active during the salmon run in late August to mid-September.

Spring (May to June) brings fresh waterfalls, wildflowers, and moose calves, making it perfect for road trips and photography.

As autumn arrives, the landscapes glow with golden foliage, elk calls echo through the valleys, and crowds begin to thin.

In winter (November to February), the Rockies turn into a snow-dusted wonderland — with frozen lakes, cosy mountain towns, and festive magic all around.

Whatever your season, we’ll design a journey that feels just right for you.
