Western Canada by helicopter, yacht and seaplane
Enjoy luxury, spectacular vistas, stunning accommodations and brown bears along with your family. This trip is a West Coast extravaganza that introduces you to the most beautiful places in British Columbia. You'll stay in four unique settings: the Bugaboos Lodge, the Four Seasons Resort Whistler, the MV Pacific Yellowfin and the Sonora Resort. Whether it's something floating, village-like or desert-like, each accommodation provides access to Canada's most extraordinary landscapes. Summer in Whistler means an insane world of lush emerald forests - tranquil woods, alpine hiking trails and sleek boating waters - not to mention dramatic mountain peaks and abundant flora and fauna. You will then explore Desolation Sound by yacht, considered by many boaters to be one of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world. You will conclude your trip on one of the Discovery Islands with extraordinary views of the Inside Passage.
