Hike, Bike, Ride Ziplines, Sea Kayak and Raft the Wild West Coast
From the tranquil shores of Howe Sound to the alpine village of Whistler, we've wrapped the best of British Columbia into one amazing trip. In what the Canadians call "Sea-to-Sky Country," we hike above the clouds and ride ziplines through lush forests, raft rapids through sheer canyons, bike along cascading streams, and sea kayak among sea lions and whales. In fact, we discover why British Columbia is considered one of the most spectacular destinations in the world!

Days 1-2 Vancouver-Squamish. After shuttling from Vancouver, we paddle along rugged shoreline to the glacial inlet of Howe Sound. We're likely to get a visit from the harbor seals during our journey. After a beachside barbecue, we continue on to the outdoor adventure mecca of Squamish, where the following day we hike to the summit of one of the world's largest granite monoliths, Stawamus Chief, for incredible views.

Days 3-4 Squamish-Whistler. Our next day brings us down the Class III-IV whitewater of the Eleaho River, passing cascading waterfalls along the way. We then opt for pedal power as we cycle the trails of Cheekeye Fan and Alice Lake. We next transfer to Whistler to trek above tree line via the Musical Bumps--Piccolo, Flute and Oboe--en route to Singing Pass. Here we truly experience the meaning of "Sea-to-Sky Country".

Days 5-6 Whistler-Cheakamus Lake-Vancouver. Glide along ziplines suspended high above the white-water river that divides Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. Or opt to explore the treetops of Whistler's ancient forests on a network of suspension bridges, boardwalks and observation platforms. Then bike through beautiful old growth forest along the shore of Cheakamus Lake. Or stroll the streets of Whistler and explore its many shops. On our last day, we cycle the trails of Whistler before concluding our adventure in Vancouver.
