Western Canada Holidays


canada & alaska
Stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, Western Canada holidays are as breathtaking as they are diverse.

From the snow-capped mountain towns of Banff and Jasper, crystal clear Lake Louise and outdoor activity-packed Whistler, all the way to Vancouver Island’s golden beaches and vibrant cities, Western Canada is a region just waiting to be explored.

Catch a rodeo in Calgary, hike a wilderness trail in the Rockies or simply sip Canadian wine in the Okanagan Valley. From whale-watching excursions by zodiac and surfing off Vancouver Island’s West Coast to kicking back and relaxing on an ocean or lakeside beach, Western Canada has it all.

Trailfinders is the UK's No.1 Leisure Tour Operator by volume of holidays to Canada*

and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Western Canada on a fly drive holiday, aboard the famous Rocky Mountaineer, fly to the wilderness in search of grizzlies or join a guided group tour, or even combine them all – they are the perfect people to ask.
