Vancouver's Stanley Park stretches along the waterfront, while Victoria's Butchart Gardens burst with color. Are you ready?

The trip to the Rockies was more than we expected. Magnificent scenery and plenty of time to enjoy it. The Tour Director was well informed and spoke clearly and slowly.

Couldn’t have asked for better, what a fantastic time! Jordan is truly a gift, keeping everyone entertained while creating an atmosphere of inclusion. Thank you West Trek!
- 4-Day Rockies Winter Explorer Tour
I was able to enjoy my time on this tour immensely thanks to Mara for working tirelessly to coordinate events, Yee for driving everyone everywhere safely, and Nataly for making sure that everyone got back on the bus! I've only wished that I've signed up for a longer tour as there was so much to explore.
