「Moraine Lake at 7am — colder than I expected and almost no one around. Our guide had hot coffee waiting in the van. Honestly the photos don't do it justice, the water really is that blue.」

From our travellers
Real travellers, real memories — written in their own words.
「I've lived in BC for 12 years and somehow never made it to Banff. Did the day tour with my mom who was visiting — small group, no rushing, and the guide knew exactly where to stop for the best light. Mom hasn't stopped talking about it.」
Sarah Thompson
Burnaby, CA · Banff Day Tour
「신혼여행으로 갔는데… okay sorry, mixing languages. Three days in the Rockies, slept in a cabin in Canmore, saw elk on the road. The Korean-speaking guide made my parents feel so comfortable. Worth every penny.」
Jiwon Kang
Daejeon, KR · Rocky Mountain Classic
「Drove down from Richmond for a long weekend. Pike Place at opening time before the crowds was a game changer. Also the guide took us to a tiny ramen spot in the International District that wasn't on any of my lists.」
Marcus Chen
Richmond, CA · Seattle Weekend
「First time in Seattle and the weather actually cooperated! Loved Kerry Park at sunset — Mt Rainier showed up for about 20 minutes and we all just stood there. Only thing: I wish we had more time at Chihuly.」
Soyeon Han
Incheon, KR · Seattle Weekend
「從 Tsawwassen 坐 ferry 過去，天氣超好。Butchart Gardens 真的比照片漂亮太多了，下午回 Inner Harbour 喝下午茶剛剛好。導遊知道哪裡可以避開團客，很加分。」

「엄마랑 둘이 다녀왔어요. 페리에서 본 바다, 부차트 가든의 장미 정원, 그리고 작은 카페에서 먹은 스콘까지 — 하루가 너무 짧게 느껴졌어요. 가이드님이 한국어로 꼼꼼히 설명해주셔서 편안했습니다.」
Yuna Choi
Daegu, KR · Victoria Garden Journey
「從台北飛來，原本只把溫哥華當中轉站。後來臨時加了一天市區深度遊，Granville Island 跟 Stanley Park 都很喜歡，Whistler 順遊那段山路也美到不行。下次一定要待久一點。」
Chen Chun-Hong
Taipei, TW · Vancouver City Deep Dive
「−32도였어요. 진짜. 첫째 날 밤은 구름 때문에 못 봤는데 셋째 날 새벽 2시쯤 가이드가 깨워줘서 나갔더니 하늘이 초록색으로 일렁이고 있었어요. 평생 못 잊을 것 같아요.」

「Took my partner for her 40th. Three nights, two with strong aurora activity. The heated teepee out at Aurora Village made the cold totally manageable. Pro tip: actually bring the gloves they tell you to bring.」
