British Columbia, the Rockies & Hawaii

№ 991-14

The journey that we propose in these pages will stay in your memory as a kaleidoscopic

nature of each of them. The beauty of nature will surround you wherever you go, along with

adventure, pristine environments, relaxation, and top class service. These features make it an

ideal honeymoon.

Page 2: Honeymoon Tour British Columbia, the Rockies & Hawaii€¦ · 7/10/2015  · The Basin Historical Site, then the oldest and most ... The Road" trip will take you to Athabasca falls,

We will start from Vancouver, bright

and modern city on the West Coast of

Canada, and continue to Vancouver

Island, the most beautiful island in

North America, famous for its almost

incomparable scenery, as well as the

magnificent fauna that populates its

forests and its waters; you will get

introduced to it through several

excursions: three species of whales,

dolphins, orcas, grizzly bears.

Another unforgettable experience will be crossing

Inside Passage by ferry, a true mini-cruise along a

protected waterway teeming with wild life both in its

waters and along the coasts of the mainland and

numerous islands which protect it. From Prince

Rupert, the port of arrival, we’ll take another “ride”

full of emotions: we’ll go South to the great parks of

the Canadian Rockies, passing through an area of

primary importance for native populations

("Indians") along

Skeena Valley,

finally reaching the

Rockies, announced

by the view of

Mount Robson, and

then we’ll arrive in

Jasper. From here

we’ll start a tour to

the enchanting lakes, majestic glaciers, to the

Rocky Mountains trails, following perhaps the

most scenic road of the world, the Icefields

ancient volcanoes, lush and exuberant nature.

It will be the perfect culmination of your ideal
