Go west from Banff with Moose and experience the vast geographical diversity of Western Canada! You'll see the southwestern Canadian Rockies, an ancient interior rainforest, the ranch and grasslands of a "pocket" desert, and will finish surrounded by the Coastal Mountains in Vancouver. This trip is a jump on, jump off adventure bus transportation pass. En route between overnight destinations the bus stops for sightseeing, activities, and other adventures. The service is door to door, and pass holders receive discounts on activities, attractions and accommodation. Accommodation in hostels is pre-booked for those that want it.

Day: 1 | Location: BANFF TO KELOWNA
 

Our journey has us leaving the Rocky Mountains today, but not without first stopping to visit Takakkaw Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in Canada (seasonal). Then it’s on to the Okanagan Valley for wine tasting, sandy beaches on crystal clear lakes, and lots of fun in the sun. Rock out in Kelowna tonight - it’s a university city with plenty of bars and nightclubs!

Day: 2 | Location: KELOWNA TO VANCOUVER
 

Today we climb over high mountain passes and through the beautiful grasslands of the Nicola Valley before arriving in the Fraser Valley. Pump yourself up because once we hit Abbotsford, it’s time for tandem skydiving from up to 14,000 feet (optional extra cost)! Then it’s back to Vancouver and time to say goodbye to your new friends.
