ROCKIES EXPLORER

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel (included) before heading out for an adventure at the Golden Skybridge (admission included), home to Canada’s highest suspension bridges. Begin your journey back to Vancouver, with a stop at Craigellachie, where the Last Spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven. Afterward, stop for lunch in Kamloops (own expense) before continuing through Hope on your way back. Arrive in Vancouver at approximately 8:00pm.

The Rockies Explorer Tour begins in the vibrant city of Vancouver, taking you on an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Canadian Rockies. Whether you are marvelling at towering mountain peaks or exploring crystal-clear lakes, adventure awaits at every turn.

Activities range from sightseeing to enjoying scenic views of iconic locations such as Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.

Optional activities such as a glacier walk, a gondola ride, or a wildlife boat cruise can be easily booked and paid for through your tour guide during the trip—no need to pre-book!

The tour includes accommodation for all nights of the tour in same-gender hotel rooms.

We choose hotels for their affordability, excellent facilities, and friendly atmosphere. Staying in shared rooms allows you to meet more people, interact with other tour guests, and keep costs as low as possible.

If you’d prefer a private room, please contact us directly, and we’ll be happy to discuss alternative options for your tour.

The Rockies Explorer: 4-Days, Adventure in the Canadian Rockies and Meet Travellers from Around the Globe takes you on an unforgettable journey through the Canadian Rockies, including visits to iconic sites like Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, and Peyto Lake, before concluding in Vancouver.

All tour finish times are approximate. We strongly recommend that you DO NOT book onward travel for the final day of the tour, as traffic or other unforeseen circumstances may cause delays.

Please note that our itineraries are subject to change, and activities may be cancelled without notice due to circumstances beyond our control, such as weather, traffic, or unforeseen events. If this happens, alternative options may be available, or you may have the opportunity to enjoy more free time to explore on your own!

Some sites on this tour are only available seasonally. Moraine Lake and the road to Takakkaw Falls are open from June to mid-October. Choose a departure within this timeframe to experience these breathtaking locations this tour.

If you need to cancel your tour, up to 60 days prior to your scheduled departure, your tour is fully refundable. Between 60-31 days before departure, you can choose to receive a 100% credit to rebook for another future tour or a full refund, minus a 10% deposit, which can be used as credit for future travel. Within 30 days of departure, the tour is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Flexible about when you can travel? Consider the pros and cons of our travel seasons. In Low Season (May and October), you’ll get the BEST VALUE on our tours, with less traffic and far fewer people at the most popular sites. The trade-off is that the weather is typically more variable, cooler, and wetter.

Additionally, some sites may be closed, and the glacial lakes could still be frozen in the spring—though that’s a stunning sight in itself! In Peak Season (June to September), everything is open, the weather is more consistent, warmer, and generally drier, with the glacial lakes in their full splendour. However, tours are more expensive, traffic is heavier, and the most popular spots can be quite crowded.

Should you need to cancel your trip, you (or your authorized travel agent) must notify us in writing by letter, email, or by fax. Notification of cancellation is based on the working week in Canada. Weekend days or statutory holidays cannot be calculated in day’s prior policies for cancellation fee avoidance. An acknowledgement of cancellation notice will be sent; should you not receive this advice then cancellation has not been received by Discover Canada Tours and must be resent. We recommend independent purchase of travel insurance.
