You’ll spend time in Banff National Park—Canada’s first national park—with its valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, rivers, and meadows, and Jasper National Park, with its majestic mountains and abundant wildlife. Other Canadian national parks on this tour include Glacier National Park, with its rugged mountains, glaciers, and waterfalls, and Yoho National Park, with its vertical rock walls, waterfalls, and beautiful peaks. In addition to national parks, you’ll also visit some of Canada’s most popular resort towns, such as Kelowna, attractively set on the shores of Lake Okanagan and surrounded by orchards and vineyards. And the mountain resort of Sun Peaks, where you’ll overnight after a beautiful drive that includes passing Mount Robson, the Canadian Rockies’ highest mountain at 12,972 feet. Spend two nights in the alpine town of Whistler, surrounded by stunning glaciated mountains. Here you can hike, explore the village, or take an optional excursion, like a Ziptrek Adventure through an old-growth rainforest or a guided Tree Trek Canopy Walk via suspension bridges and boardwalks high among the treetops. A tour highlight is a stop at the Columbia Icefield, the largest expanse of ice in the Canadian Rockies where you’ll ride the Ice Explorer, an all-terrain vehicle that travels on ice that is 750 feet thick! You’ll also journey to the Pacific Coast, where you’ll sail across the Strait of Georgia to Victoria for two overnights. Enjoy an included sightseeing tour, and a visit to Butchart Gardens, rated as one of the most beautiful gardens in the world, and then have free time to discover some of Victoria’s most popular attractions like having high tea at the Empress Hotel or taking an optional Wildlife and Whale Watching Expedition.

The driver and guide made the trip pleasant and a good experience.
I highly recommend Cosmos Tours. The travel consultant was so helpful and very quick to answer any questions. Our tour guide was very attentive to all guest needs and went above and beyond. Our bus driver was also very accommodating and patient and also responded to our requests. Both were awesome!!
Some hotels were located in seedy areas and poorly maintained with lots of noise
This was my sixth Cosmos tour. I was very pleased with the intinerary. I was able to visit and enjoy my important tourist areas in the Canadian Rockies. I especially liked the day we visited the Columbia Icefields and having a walk on the glacier.
The tour was well planned and conducted. The Tour Director. was very nice, cooperative and had a wealth of knowledge of the places through which we passed, where we stayed and where we visited. The Tour Driver, was very helpful during the tour. The places we visited were unique and there were lot of history behind them.
Cosmos provided a great tour director which made for a great tour! Sights and stops were well planned as was the itinerary> . It was nice to have 2 nights in most places as this reduced pressure for packing.
The Cosmos Canadian Rockies tour was very good. While it was basic (most places we wanted to visit, we had to either book an excursion or arrange it ourselves), the price also reflected that fact. All in all, the tour was very good and we saw a very beautiful country. Our tour director, Sharon and our drive JP were awesome!
The trip was wonderful and great value for the money.
I wish that the breakfast and a few more excursions would have been included in the trip at a small additional cost.
The tour was planned perfectly, and Tour Director was knowledgeable. Thanks!
I enjoyed this trip very much. I got to see a lot of beautiful mountains. I like the guarantee share room from Cosmos. It really cuts down on the costs.
