In Part 2 of our deep dive into Western Canada, Jason and Michael Brabin of Destination Vancouver and Tourism Whistler take you beyond the highlights and into the adventure, culture and magic that make this region unforgettable.

We begin in Whistler in summer—a vibrant, energetic, adventure-packed mountain village that welcomes more visitors in summer than winter. Michael explains why Whistler is far from a quiet off-season resort, with its buzzing plazas, legendary mountain biking scene, and a calendar full of festivals, open-air concerts, and lakeside events.

You’ll discover the best must-do experiences, including:

• The Peak 2 Peak Gondola and jaw-dropping viewpoints
• Heart-racing ziplining, bungee jumps, and heli-adventures
• Dawn black bear safaris ideal for making the most of jet lag
• Magical night-time storytelling at Vallea Lumina
• And even the chance to try skeleton on the Olympic sliding track – one of the only places in the world you can do it

The episode also uncovers under-the-radar Vancouver experiences, from the extraordinary Museum of Anthropology at UBC, to tranquil pockets of Stanley Park, and the beloved Vancouver Aquarium with its rescued otters and sea lions.

Michael then shares expert guidance on crafting the perfect Vancouver–Whistler itinerary—including how long to stay, how to avoid the common “too many stops, not enough time” mistake, and why speaking to a specialist transforms a good trip into a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

We wrap with a passionate discussion about what makes this region so personal, so memorable, and so uniquely suited to travellers who want nature, city life, wildlife, food, culture and adventure all in one trip.

Whether Vancouver and Whistler are already on your list, or you’re hearing about their magic for the first time, this episode will inspire your next great adventure.

In the final episode of our Canada series, Jason is joined by Michael Brabin of Destination Vancouver and Tourism Whistler to explore why so many visitors come home from Vancouver and Whistler saying, “I could move there tomorrow.”

In Part 1, we dive into Vancouver as a true year-round city: mild winters, warmer summers, and a unique mix of ocean, mountains and rainforest that never feels like a typical concrete jungle. Michael shares his favourite British Columbia memory – a stunning float plane journey from Whistler to downtown Vancouver – and explains why Canucks ice hockey nights, Stanley Park, and compact, walkable neighbourhoods like Gastown, Chinatown, Yaletown and Coal Harbour make this city so special.

We also unpack who Vancouver and Whistler are perfect for:

• Families who could swap plastic theme parks for whales, bears and wild landscapes,
• Older travellers who are more adventurous than ever,
• Couples looking for active city breaks with incredible food, culture and nature in one trip.

You’ll hear about food tours, Michelin-accredited dining, street food, Granville Island’s public market, and why Easter and late spring/summer are secretly some of the best (and best value) times to visit Western Canada.

👉 In Part 2, we head deeper into Whistler in summer, hidden gems like Vallea Lumina, heart-pounding adventures from ziplining to skeleton on the Olympic track, local festivals, and how to build the perfect Vancouver–Whistler itinerary with expert help so you don’t waste a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
