+ Itinerary
This itinerary is a rough idea of what to expect on your tour. We may tweak the itinerary to suit campsite availability and conditions. We will always do everything we can to create the best experience possible for you.
- Day 1- Vancouver and Beyond! - Today we scoop you up from your hotel in downtown Vancouver and head across the Lions Gate Bridge and leave the bustle of the city behind. With a few scenic stops along the way we head up the coast of Howe Sound, enjoying the views with the ocean on our left and the mountains rising steeply to our right. Once at our campsite in Squamish (Canada's adventure capital) we go over all the camping equipment and set up camp as a group for the next two nights. Your guides whip up a spectacular meal and we chat around a campfire as the stars come out.
- Day 2- Sea to Sky! - We enjoy a hearty breakfast and some locally roasted coffee before heading out for our guided hiking tour of the day. Today we have a special treat for you, using the Sea to Sky gondola to get to the alpine before beginning one of BC's best day hikes. At the top of the gondola you can explore the numerous lookouts and suspension bridges, each with their own unique view of the surrounding mountains and the ocean far below.
- Day 3- Into the Mountains - After we are well fed and caffeinated we pack up camp and head North on the Sea to Sky Highway. Shortly after leaving Squamish we stop for another guided hiking trip, heading in the alpine world of Garibaldi Lake. Reward your tired legs with a dip in the crystal clear water, looking out at the nearby glacier and ice clad mountain peaks. Lay in the flowery alpine meadow for a while, napping or reading in the fresh mountain air before we head back down and continue the drive to Whistler. After a delicious dinner we may head to a nearby lake and enjoy the sunset, or go for a walk to a nearby attraction.
- Day 4- Explore Whistler - Today we give you the option to pick your own adventure in Whistler, exploring the mountain town or getting an adrenaline rush on a fast paced activity. The options are numerous, including mountain biking, ATVing and ziplining. If you'd like to explore more mountains your guide would be happy to take you on another guided hike near Whistler, exploring a gorgeous alpine lake or waterfall.
- Day 5- Mountains and Vines! - We pack up camp and head North, venturing past Whistler and into a region seldom visited and often forgotten. This happens to be one of my favourite places in BC and a wilderness area that would take a lifetime to explore properly. We pass through Pemberton, a small farm town surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountains in British Columbia, stopping for a quick look at Nairn Falls. Once we reach the heart of the mountains we stop for a guided hike at Joffre Lakes. The first lake will blow your mind with views that belong on a postcard, the second lake is a famous Instagram scene and the third lake has up close and personal glacier views and impossibly blue water. After our hike we continue on towards our campground, stopping to taste some fine Canadian wines at Fort Berens Winery. You will love our campsite tonight with unbelievably starry skies and a hot tub to soak in!
- Day 6- Rafting the Mighty River - Today we head out with Kumsheen Rafting Resort on what is in my humble opinion, the best rafting day in Canada. Rafting in the desert is very special, with warm clear water rushing through a deep valley, studded with majestic mountains in all directions. The Thompson River is one of the most powerful rivers that is rafted in the world, which means you are in for a really fun day and an amazing lunch too. Tonight we dine around a campfire and trade stories from the past week as the stars come out.
- Day 7- Footsteps of Fur Traders - We pack up camp for the last time and follow the Fraser River through the gorgeous Fraser Canyon on the way to Vancouver. We stop and talk about some of the pioneering exploits that happened right where we stand, as the fur traders explored the first trading routes across the country, a gold rush came through and the first railway stitched our country together. As we arrive in Vancouver we drop you off wherever you are staying and hope to see you back for another camping tour in Canada next year!
