Calgary Stampede

Grab your cowboy hat and spurs and get into the swing of things at the annual Calgary Stampede. With its roots tracing all the way back to 1886 when Calgary’s first exhibition took place, the Stampede eventually grew into one of the world’s largest outdoor rodeos and exhibitions. Today, it’s often dubbed the ‘Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth’.

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Savour a sensational visit to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park on the beautiful outskirts of Vancouver. After breakfast at the Cliff House Restaurant, you’ll join an insightful nature exploration through the grounds and across the suspension bridge.

The Butchart Gardens Victoria British Columbia

The Butchart Gardens Before Hours

The gates to The Butchart Gardens are opened a little early just for you. Free to explore with before-hours access, you’ll be treated to a delicious breakfast in the original family residence. Then, take the opportunity to wander among the floral displays without the crowds.

Meet a Mountie

On an exciting morning in beautiful Banff National Park, you’ll have the chance to meet one of Canada’s renowned Mounties and hear tales from the iconic Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
