IMPORTANT NOTES

The Vancouver to Rockies tour spans two adventure-filled days. This journey is part of our longer 8-day Caribou Tour, perfect for travelers continuing to explore Western Canada.

Starting in Vancouver, you’ll journey with fellow adventurers heading to Banff. Many guests combine this with other tours for a complete Canadian Rockies experience.
Important Travel Notes:

  • Do not book onward travel on the final tour day
  • Tour times may vary due to traffic and conditions
  • Alternative activities provided if weather affects plans
  • Free time available for personal exploration

Check local conditions at DriveBC before your tour.

Flexible about when you can travel? Consider the pros and cons of our travel seasons. In Low Season (May and October), you’ll experience fewer crowds and less traffic 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.

We take your safety, along with the safety of our staff and partners, very seriously. You can review our Safety Policy here.
