When looking for a multi-sport tour full of contrast, a school sports tour to Vancouver and Seattle ticks all the boxes. Two countries, three destinations, all with very different ways of life!
Vancouver and the Rockies offer a superb contrast between urban city and rural adventure, whilst Victoria on Vancouver Island allows you to discover the ‘real’ side of the Canadian West Coast. Its wealth of unspoilt views and idyllic landscapes showcase the city’s natural charm in all its splendour.
