Vancouver & Vancouver Island

Located on the western seaboard of Canada, Vancouver is a cosmopolitan city whose combination of natural beauty, outdoors living and vibrant nightlife see it frequently named as one of the world’s most desirable cities. The highlight of any Vancouver itinerary is a trip to Stanley Island, the huge urban park that is home to bike tracks, totem poles and wonderful sea views. The city centre is also packed with museums and galleries, whilst the city aquarium offers a rare glimpse of Pacific marine life.

Across the water from the main city, Vancouver Island also houses a number of charms, including the opportunity to scuba dive or watch whales in the Pacific Ocean. You can also discover the old world charms of the state capital of Victoria, known as the Garden City thanks to its attractive flora.
