Enjoy panoramic views of the spectacular scenery through dome windows and gourmet meals in the GoldLeaf Dining Room. Your journey offers a diverse array of scenery as you travel between the high peaks of the Canadian Rockies, over mountain passes and through remarkable tunnels, along rocky lakeshores and across the ranchlands of the interior.

Dinner is included this evening at your Kamloops accommodation. Overnight in Kamloops.
Day 4 Kamloops to Vancouver
Your journey continues west towards the Pacific Ocean and the coastal city of Vancouver. On today's journey you will again see dramatic changes in scenery as you travel from the desert-like environment of the interior, through winding river canyons and forests surrounded by the peaks of the Coast and Cascade mountains, to the lush green fields of the Fraser River valley. Highlights include the steep slopes and rock sheds along the Thompson River and the rushing waters of Hell's Gate in the Fraser Canyon. Overnight at The Sutton Place Hotel.
Day 5 Vancouver Sightseeing
The cosmopolitan city of Vancouver is nestled between the ocean and the Coast Mountains and is blessed with green spaces throughout the downtown core.

Overnight at The Sutton Place Hotel.
Please advise your choice of activity at the time of booking to avoid disappointment. All three of these tours are quite popular and they do sell out.

Vancouver's beauty is proudly unveiled during your fully-commentated four-hour tour. Venture through exotic Chinatown and historic Gastown, before arriving at The Vancouver Lookout. Take an exhilarating glass door elevator ride in British Columbia's tallest building offering a spectacular 360-degree panoramic viewing deck.
