An Unforgettable Adventure Across Canada
Come and join us on this unforgettable Rock & Roll adventure across Canada! We've done this trip many times, and every single time it completely blows us away — we're confident you'll fall in love with it just as much as we have.
We fly from England on 2nd September, arriving in beautiful Vancouver before taking a scenic hop across to Victoria on Vancouver Island, British Columbia — and trust us, this place is absolutely breathtaking.
From the waterfront of Victoria to whale watching, Niagara Falls, a legendary Rolling Stones recording studio, and intimate live shows every step of the way — this is Canada as it was meant to be experienced.
The Itinerary
Arrival in Victoria
After our journey, we'll arrive in Victoria and take some time to soak up the atmosphere of this gorgeous harbour town. Stretch your legs with a gentle stroll along the waterfront, find a lovely spot for dinner, and enjoy a well-earned rest after the flight.
Explore & Live Music
Today is yours to enjoy Victoria at your own pace. Wander through the picturesque Inner Harbour, explore boutique shops, relax in cosy cafés, or visit some of the city's beautiful gardens and historic buildings. In the evening, after dinner, Ben and Tom Waters will perform a very special show at the Langham Court Theatre — a stunning, intimate venue full of character and charm.
Whale Watching & Another Special Night
This morning, we head out on an unforgettable whale-watching adventure. Keep your eyes peeled for majestic humpback whales, incredible pods of orcas, playful seals, and all kinds of amazing wildlife. The evening is free for you to relax and enjoy Victoria at your own pace.
Victoria to Vancouver & Evening in White Rock
After breakfast, we take a short flight from Victoria to Vancouver and check into the Hyatt Regency Vancouver — a superb, centrally located hotel right in the heart of the city. In the early evening, we travel together to the charming seaside town of White Rock, where we'll enjoy dinner by the sea before heading to Blue Frog Studios for a brilliant, memorable live performance.
A Day to Explore Vancouver
Today is yours to enjoy Vancouver at your own pace — Stanley Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Gastown, Granville Island Market, and more. In the evening we come together for a special group dinner — a chance to relax, share stories, and enjoy Vancouver's fantastic food scene.
Vancouver to Penticton Road Trip
We hop on the bus for one of the most memorable road trips imaginable — taking scenic Highway 3, winding through the breathtaking landscapes of British Columbia, stopping at roadside fruit stands in the Okanagan. By the time we arrive in Penticton you'll see why it's one of our favourite places in the world. In the evening, we perform at The Hub in downtown Penticton.
A Day in Penticton
Swim in crystal-clear lakes, relax on white sandy beaches, go tubing between Okanagan and Skaha Lakes, explore surrounding mountains, or visit local wineries. It's the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. The itinerary is there for you to dip in and out of as you please.
Penticton to Revelstoke
After breakfast we continue deeper into British Columbia toward the mountain town of Revelstoke — an approximately 4.5 to 5 hour journey through ever-changing, spectacular landscapes. Sweeping lake views, dense forests, dramatic peaks, and quiet remote stretches that feel truly untouched. We'll check into the stylish Gravity Haus Revelstoke for a relaxed evening exploring the town.
Revelstoke to Calgary via Lake Louise
We set off through the Rockies, stopping at Lake Louise — one of the most breathtaking places in all of Canada. Crystal-clear turquoise water, towering mountain peaks and glaciers. We'll enjoy lunch at the iconic Fairmont Château Lake Louise before continuing to Calgary, arriving in the late afternoon and heading out for live music along Calgary's famous Music Mile.
A Piece of Rock 'n' Roll History
Today we visit something truly special: the legendary Rolling Stones Mobile Recording Studio at the National Music Centre (Studio Bell) in Calgary. This is the very mobile studio that recorded Exile on Main St., No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley), Alchemy Live (Dire Straits), and inspired Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water. We'll get up close — and who knows, we might even do a little recording ourselves.
Calgary to Toronto
After breakfast we fly to Toronto and transfer to the Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown — perfectly located on the waterfront. The CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Ripley's Aquarium, the beautiful Harbourfront, and ferry access to the Toronto Islands are all within easy reach. In the evening, a relaxed group dinner to enjoy the city.
Niagara Falls Day Trip
Today we take a full-day trip to one of the most famous natural wonders in the world — Niagara Falls. We'll get up close, experience the incredible power of the water, and take a ride on the legendary Maid of the Mist boat. An unforgettable day of stunning views and plenty of photo opportunities.
Toronto & Farewell Show
Today is yours to explore Toronto — the historic Distillery District, St. Lawrence Market, Queen Street West, Kensington Market, and the waterfront. In the evening, we come together for the end-of-tour party at The Hugh's Room Live — a very special venue and the perfect place to celebrate the final night of the trip.
