For the benefits of those first timers in Vancouver, the tour will kick off by visiting several Vancouver landmarks like Gastown, Chinatown, Downtown core and Stanley Park with spare time to take photos. From Vancouver, the coach will take you to the warm and dry Okanagan Valley with its huge lakes, orchards and Okanagan Valley, home to some of British Columbia's finest wines and wineries. Overlooking Okanagan Lake and framed by magnificent views of vineyards and fields you will be standing inside British Columbia's most awarded winery, Mission Hill, http://www.missionhillwinery.com/default.asp , and tasting some of their medal awarded wines.

Day 2 - June 20 Kelowna to Banff (Impromptu lunches)

After a wholesome breakfast at the hotel, the coach will continue onto Banff, Alberta thru the famous Canadian Rockies. The Banff City tour should start in early afternoon; seeing spectacular scenery as you learn the history of the birthplace of Canada's National Parks, and finding out what the beautiful Bow Valley has to offer during your stay.

Prime Rib Dinner will be served at Bumper’s Inn whose Prime Rib has a rich tradition of providing the centerpiece for the dining tables and has built its reputation by providing exquisite Prime Rib meals.

Tonight, accommodation will be at the Banff International Hotel located in the heart of Banff, surrounded by unique local shops and fine dining. http://www.banffinternational.com/

Day 3 - JUN 21 BANFF (Impromptu lunches)

After breakfast at hotel, it is a short ride up to the Banff Gondola located just 5 minutes from the Town of Banff, on the shoulder of Sulphur Mountain, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. The 360^o view from the upper gondola terminal, view-decks and Summit Ridge interpretive boardwalk, is the very best vantage point in Western Canada. Safely seated in 4 passenger gondola cabins, visitors are transported in 8 minutes to the summit at an elevation of 2,281m (7,486 ft) above sea level.

The coach will continue to the summit of Bow Pass (2088m) traveling along one of the world's most spectacular mountain highways with unsurpassed mountain scenery and stopping at the Columbia Icefields, Bow Lake, and Peyto Lake.

Banff Gondola ride and Snocoach tour on Icefields are optional and not included in the package price.

Optional Buffet Lunch at the Chalet Restaurant is available for C$20.00 per person.

Dinner at a Korean Restaurant is reserved before returning to Banff International Hotel for the night.

Day 4 - June 22 Banff / Lake Louise / Kelowna

After breakfast at hotel, spectacular scenery awaits at Lake Louise with uniquely beautiful terrain that is both vast and varied. The wilderness is pristine and inspirational. Located in the heart of majestic, historic Banff National Park, Lake Louise is truly legendary and offers world class terrain. A sumptuous buffet lunch will be served at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, the only hotel on the shores of Lake Louise. Pamper yourself at this luxurious accommodations surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

After lunch, the coach will travel west to Yoho National Park located in the Canadian Rocky Mountains along the western slope of the Continental Divide in southeastern British Columbia. The name Yoho comes from a Cree word expressing amazement.

Stopovers are being planned for the following must see, must experience destinations:

Emerald Lake is one of the most admired destinations in Yoho National Park, with an unmatched diversity of both activities and landscapes suited to the enthusiastic traveler.

The Kicking Horse River rushes underneath a natural rock bridge in Yoho National Park, Alberta, Canada. The river used to flow over the top of the rock, but over time carved a path through it, leaving the natural bridge.

Travelling through Rogers Pass requires you to go through five long tunnels, which add a measure of protection from avalanches, although they can be a bit unnerving the first time. The lofty sensation of crossing Rogers Pass is one of the rewards for travelling here. We will negotiate the Rogers Pass (elevation 1382 m) at the summit in Glacier National Park on our way to Kelowna at around 6 pm.

For those craving for comfort food this evening, dinner will be served at a Chinese Restaurant in Kelowna. It is probably as close to Chinese food as you can find in interior British Columbia.

Hotel accommodation will be at the Prestige Inn or similar.

Day 5 - Jun 23 Kelowna return to Vancouver

After breakfast at hotel, the day will begin with a quick tour of Kelowna downtown and visits to some of Kelowna's most awarded wineries, orchards and Ogopogo, a name given to a lake monster reported to live in Lake Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada.
