Our journey begins when we are picked up from our homes in Whangarei and driven to Auckland for an overnight flight to Vancouver.

While in Vancouver, we will embark on a city tour, exploring the iconic Stanley Park and the vibrant Granville Island. We will also enjoy a full day tour to Victoria and the stunning Butchart Gardens. The remaining day in Vancouver is yours to enjoy at your own leisure, to explore more of the city or relax as you choose.

Next, we fly to Calgary, where we will take a city walking tour to discover the highlights of this bustling city. Or for an alternative experience, you may choose to take the Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Banff, with an overnight stop in Kamloops.

From Calgary, we transfer to Banff for 4 nights. Our time here includes a full day tour to the breathtaking Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, and another full day tour of the Columbia Icefields. One day in Banff is free for you to explore at your own pace, whether it’s strolling through the charming town or enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

Our journey continues with a coach transfer from Banff back to Calgary for a flight to Fairbanks via Seattle. In Fairbanks, we embark on an Alaskan Heritage and Sightseeing Tour to experience the unique culture and landscapes of the region. From Fairbanks, we transfer to Denali. Here, we spend a full day exploring the majestic Denali National Park, taking in the stunning vistas and wildlife.

We then board the McKinley Explorer train from Denali to Anchorage, enjoying the scenic journey. We have one full day in Anchorage, which includes a tour of the Wildlife Conservation Centre.

We continue our adventure with a train ride from Anchorage to Seward. In Seward, we enjoy a full day guided tour of Kenai Fjords National Park and have a free day to explore the charming town at our leisure.

Finally, we fly from Seward to Vancouver for one night, then from Vancouver back to Auckland, and are transferred to our Whangarei homes to complete our memorable journey.

Or, if you aren’t ready for your journey to end here, then you may decide to join us on the Celebrity Cruise extension from Seward to Vancouver (7 nights) and then fly back to Auckland to be transferred to our Whangarei homes.

Oh my gosh, we all had a fantastic day out. Thank you so much. I really didn’t expect to like all those weird and wonderful snacks during the "Curious Food Train" activity, and didn’t think they would all participate. The staff all keep thanking us for such a great day. Looking forward to next years event!
