Surrounded by mountains, vibrant Vancouver is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and cosmopolitan adventurers alike. Meandering oceanside pathways surround eclectic neighbourhoods – Stanley Park, the West End, Gastown, Yaletown, Chinatown. A major global city, it is renowned for its cultural diversity and thriving art, theatre, music and food scenes. Its perfectly picturesque setting makes it popular filming location – with old-growth cedar forests, mountains covering 75% and two-thirds of Canada's bird species and land mammals. A big, bustling city perched on the edge of wilderness.

Encircled by emerald rainforests and mist-veiled mountains, Ward Cove opens the door to Alaska’s untamed beauty. Nearby, glacial blue lakes, tall waterfalls, and snowcapped peaks surround visitors to the spectacular Misty Fjords National Monument, best appreciated by floatplane or boat. Discover the living heritage of Tlingit and Haida cultures through intricate totems at Saxman Village, or wander Creek Street’s storied boardwalks. From bear-viewing expeditions to serene kayaking, Ward Cove invites adventure shaped by nature and spirit.

A visually potent elixir of Mother Nature, the Tracy Arm Fjord is a magical mix of steep cliffs, glacier-blanketed mountains, and the last intact temperate rainforest in the US. Slipping through the narrow 48-kilometer waterway, spy nimble goats upon craggy precipices, eagles riding wind currents overhead, icebergs bobbing, and ice shards where fat baby seals slumber. If conditions prevail, we reach the rarely seen twin Sawyer Glaciers, an electric blue marvel that holds thousands of years of secrets in its dense ice.

Juxtaposed between baby-blue Mendenhall Glacier and rocketing jade mountains, Juneau is an eclectic capital city on the edge of unbridled nature. All the senses are arrested exploring Mendenhall Glacier and hearing the thundering song of Nugget Falls. Follow snowy peaks skyward on the Goldbelt Tram and see the world open atop Mount Roberts. Skirt around islands and ice floes in search of humpback and orca whales, which are regular guests in Juneau’s placid waters. Taste the saltiness of the sea with the freshest fish, smell the pine-scented forests, and ponder totem pole trail lining the sea walk.
