Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Your first stop is Porteau Cove Provincial Park, a peaceful coastal haven overlooking the shimmering waters of Howe Sound. In autumn, the crisp sea air and golden light create a tranquil atmosphere as waves gently brush the rocky shore. In winter, the snow-dusted peaks across the sound provide a postcard-perfect contrast to the calm blue ocean

Stop 2

Continue north to the mighty Shannon Falls, where fresh mountain air and the sound of rushing water set the tone for your adventure. During autumn, the surrounding forest glows with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows — nature’s own fireworks display. In winter, icicles sparkle like glass as the waterfall continues to roar between frosted evergreens, creating a mesmerizing natural spectacle.

Stop 3

Next, we visit Brandywine Falls Provincial Park, a hidden gem where a short forest trail leads to a stunning viewpoint overlooking a dramatic 70-meter waterfall. In fall, the canopy above turns gold, and mist rises softly from the gorge. In winter, Brandywine transforms into a frozen masterpiece, its icy walls shimmering in the cold mountain light — a breathtaking sight that captures the heart of the season.

After exploring these wonders, we’ll arrive in the world-renowned Whistler Village, a cozy alpine escape nestled at the base of towering peaks. In autumn, Whistler is alive with color and mountain charm — perfect for a scenic stroll or a warm drink by the fire. In winter, it becomes a snowy paradise, blanketed in powder and alive with festive spirit. Enjoy free time to shop for local treasures, dine in one of Whistler’s many inviting restaurants, or simply soak in the mountain views.

As evening descends, prepare for the highlight of your journey — Vallea Lumina, a magical multimedia forest experience that takes you into an illuminated world of wonder. Follow glowing pathways through the snowy or leaf-strewn forest, where lights, music, and storytelling transform nature into a living dreamscape. This immersive adventure captures the imagination of every traveler, young or old, and creates memories that linger long after you return to Vancouver.
