A Journey to Whistler
Embark on an unforgettable trip to the picturesque town of Whistler – the legendary host of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Visiting this charming mountain town is a delight on its own, but we will also take you beyond the village to discover the untouched beauty of British Columbia.
Along the way, we will stop at Shannon Falls, Mamquam Falls, and Brandywine Falls, where you’ll have the chance to admire these natural wonders up close and capture memorable photos.
You’ll be amazed by the crystal-clear lakes, the striking blue tones of the water, the towering mountains with snow-capped peaks all year round, and the dense forests hiding countless natural treasures. The journey itself is a highlight – the Sea-to-Sky Highway, known as the most scenic road in British Columbia. With majestic mountains on one side and the ocean on the other, it offers views that truly take your breath away.

Brandywine Falls Provincial Park is another gem in British Columbia's natural landscape. Located near Whistler, this park is famous for its breathtaking 70-meter waterfall, Brandywine Falls, which plunges into a deep gorge carved out by Brandywine Creek. The park offers well-maintained trails that lead to viewing platforms where visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the falls and the surrounding lush forest scenery.

Stop 2
Joffre Lakes is one of British Columbia’s most breathtaking natural destinations. This stunning provincial park is home to three strikingly turquoise glacier-fed lakes—Lower, Middle, and Upper Joffre Lake—each more beautiful than the last. Surrounded by towering peaks, lush alpine forests, and majestic glaciers, the park offers a truly unforgettable outdoor experience.
The trail to Upper Joffre Lake is the main highlight of the park and is considered a moderately challenging hike, with a total distance of about 9 kilometers round-trip. The journey rewards hikers with breathtaking alpine scenery, dramatic landscapes, and crystal-clear glacier lakes in vibrant shades of blue.
Joffre Lakes is especially popular during the summer months, when the snow has melted and the lakes reveal their signature turquoise glow. It’s a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts, photographers, and those looking to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the Canadian wilderness.

You'll have free time to explore the charming pedestrian village, browse local shops, take in the alpine atmosphere, and enjoy lunch at one of the cozy restaurants or cafés. It’s the perfect way to relax and unwind after an active day in nature.
