ITINERARY
Day 1 – Arrive in Vancouver
The fresh air and stunning sights of Vancouver are the perfect start to vacations in Canada. After checking in to your downtown hotel, step outside the door and explore the city on your own. We recommend a leisurely stroll around Stanley Park’s seawall, stopping for ice cream on the way, and then heading to a restaurant overlooking English Bay for some fresh seafood.
Day 2 – Explore Vancouver on Canada Vacations
Get to know Canada’s coastal city on a narrated tour of Vancouver. See all the highlights – Chinatown, Gastown, Stanley Park, English Bay, and Granville Island. Afterwards spend the remainder of the day at your leisure – ask your Fresh Tracks agent for a few suggestions.
Day 3 – Step Back in History on Vacations in Canada - Victoria
Leave bustling Vancouver and board a ferry for a scenic journey through the Gulf Islands to the provincial capital of Victoria. A quaint English city, Victoria is nicknamed the ‘Garden City’ for the lovely garden displays which seem to be on every street corner. The best way to experience this city is a stroll along the inner harbor, browsing through the shops along the way.
Day 4 – Victoria Sightseeing Tour
Canada vacations ensure beautiful sights, sounds, and scents and today is a perfect example. Begin the day with a 4.5 hour sightseeing tour of Victoria. Drive along the Saanich Peninsula through a pastoral landscape dotted with farms to the Butchart Gardens and stroll through the magnificent theme gardens. Then enjoy a narrated tour taking you through the scenic city.
Day 5 – Departure
Enjoy another scenic ferry journey back to Vancouver. Your vacation concludes as you transfer independently to Vancouver International Airport for your return flight. Or extend your British Columbia travel experience and further explore the West Coast – just ask your Fresh Tracks vacations agent about more opportunities in Canada.

Testimonials
The trip went beautifully. The hotels were gorgeous and the half day tours were just enough to get familiar with things. We had tea at the Empress and tea at the Hotel Vancouver and they were both just lovely. Can't think of anything that I would have changed. Sincere thanks.
