Vancouver Round Trip | 1 Night Stay in Banff
Departing Vancouver this morning, we'll drive along the scenic Fraser Valley Highway to Hope, the gold rush town featured in Sylvester Stallone's film "Rambo," a must-see for prospectors. We'll then travel to Kamloops, a semi-desert city renowned for its ginseng production. We'll visit a ginseng plantation and processing facility to learn about ginseng cultivation and its therapeutic benefits, and even have the opportunity to sample authentic ginseng tea. We'll then proceed to Separate Falls. While not as picturesque as Huangguoshu Falls or as majestic as Niagara Falls, it remains a natural wonder, shaped by over 400,000 years of glacial and volcanic activity. We'll spend the night in Valemount.
Itinerary:
Vancouver → Hope (30 mins) → Kamloops → Kamloops Ginseng Factory (45 mins) → Spahats Falls (30 mins) → Valemount
Depart from Valemount in the morning and enter Mount Robson Provincial Park. As British Columbia's oldest provincial park, Mount Robson is not only a UNESCO World Heritage site, but also the starting point of the Fraser River's 1,368-kilometer journey to the Pacific Ocean. Then enter the town of Jasper and experience the unique charm of this town located in the national park. Next we will take a cruise on Maligne Lake, the world's second largest glacial lake and the only lake in the Rocky Mountains that is open to motor boats. After the tour, return to the hotel to rest.
Itinerary:
Valemount → Mount Robson Provincial Park (30 mins) → Town of Jasper (30 mins) → Maligne Lake Cruise (Optional, 90 mins) → Hotel
Note:
1. The expected opening period for the Maligne Lake Cruise in summer is from 05/29/2026-10/11/2026. Please refer to the official announcements from Banff National Park for the actual opening dates of attractions. The itinerary on the day of the tour will be based on the arrangements made by the tour guide.

This stunning landscape, rich in wildlife, and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We'll then enter the Rocky Mountain National Park complex and reach Athabasca Falls.

“Ali Travel's service is excellent, and the advisors at every store are professional. We are two seniors and have travelled with them to Cuba, Yellowknife, the Dominican Republic, Cancún and China — every experience was fantastic.…”
