Canadian Rockies: National Parks Westbound

Calgary → Vancouver 14 days Up to 12

About this trip

Fourteen days moving west through some of Canada's best-known national parks, finishing on the misty shores of Vancouver Island. This is a trip built around being outdoors — camping, hiking, and covering a lot of varied ground rather than settling into one place.

Expect glacier hikes, hot springs, and genuine chances to spot moose, deer, and possibly bears along the way. It's a fully guided group trip pitched at a moderate pace, so you don't need to be an expert hiker, but you do need to be up for early starts and long days outside.

What you'll do

  • Hike beside glaciers in the Canadian Rockies
  • Soak in natural hot springs
  • Watch for moose, deer, and bears in national park territory
  • Camp across multiple park locations
  • End the trip on the shores of Vancouver Island
Good to know
  • Camping-based trip — expect a rustic, outdoors-focused style throughout
  • Moderate pace with attraction-based hikes rather than technical mountaineering
  • Covers a lot of ground over 14 days, from the Rockies to Vancouver Island
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want stunning Rocky Mountain scenery with good guides and a relaxed pace. Think twice if you crave solitude or challenging hiking.

  • Guide quality varies significantly; standout CEOs like Melanie and Jade genuinely elevate the experience.
  • Small group size (7 people) and mix of activity days plus downtime creates good trip balance.
  • Multiple reviewers wanted more moderate hikes and tranquil spots rather than the current itinerary.
  • Expect mosquitoes at ranch stays; camping is accessible even for first-timers.
