WEST COAST HIGHLIGHTS

Enjoy luxurious, spectacular vistas, stunning accommodations and brown bears, along with your family. This trip is an extravaganza on the west coast and introduces you to the most beautiful places of British Columbia. You will stay in four unique settings: the Bugaboos Lodge,the Four Seasons Resort Whistler,the MV Pacific Yellowfin and the Sonora Resort. Whether it's something floating, village or desert-like, each property gives access to Canada's most extraordinary landscapes. Summer in Whistler means a frenzied world of lush emerald forests - tranquil forests, alpine hiking trails and tight waterways - not to mention dramatic mountain peaks and abundant flora and fauna. Then you will explore Desolation Sound by yacht, considered by many boaters as one of the most beautiful cruise areas in the world. You end your trip to one of the Discovery Islands with a special view of the Inside Passage.
