Entrée Canada Welcomes You to British Columbia

It’s an extraordinary moment for the province — and an unforgettable time to explore it.
British Columbia’s Most Celebrated Moment
We’re honoured that Destination British Columbia has selected Entrée Canada as their luxury tour operator for this once-in-a-generation event. For travellers visiting Vancouver for the games, or for those simply inspired by the spirit of the tournament, this partnership means access to the province’s most remarkable landscapes, properties, and hosts — brought seamlessly together in fully customized private journeys.
Whether you’re looking to elevate your pre-game excitement, slip away between matches, or extend your time in British Columbia once the final whistle has blown, our curated collection introduces you to BC at its most cinematic and soul-stirring.
Sea to Sky to City: A Breathtaking Progression of Landscapes
This is the journey for travellers who want to experience British Columbia in full crescendo. Your days begin in a private Whistler villa — expansive windows, alpine air, and the kind of seclusion that feels almost otherworldly. From here, a seaplane meets you at a nearby lake and carries you to a private yacht for four days of coastal exploration: remote coves, warm cedar decks, and endless ocean horizons. When it’s time to continue the adventure, another scenic flight brings you into Vancouver for a stay at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, where the city’s energy and waterfront skyline become the final movement of a truly spectacular itinerary. This isn’t a trip — it’s a transformation in three acts.
Mountains & Matches: Alpine Living With Effortless Access to the City
For guests who want to immerse themselves in Whistler’s serene mountain rhythm while still dipping into Vancouver for a match or two, this journey was designed with precision. Your home base is a contemporary private villa surrounded by old-growth forest and mountain air. When it’s time to head into the city, a seaplane awaits — whisking you from alpine quiet to Vancouver’s harbour in about 45 minutes. After the game, you return the same way: gliding back into the calm of Whistler, where evenings unfold in front of stone fireplaces, forest views, and chef-prepared meals. It’s the best of both worlds, perfectly synced.
West Coast Interval: Victoria to Clayoquot Sound
Some travellers crave space — time to breathe between games, or a restorative pre- or post-tournament escape. This west coast journey begins with the charm of Victoria: gardens, ocean paths, and cobblestone warmth. Then the tempo shifts. A seaplane carries you into the wild beauty of Clayoquot Sound, where canvas-topped tents and wooden boardwalks blend seamlessly with the rainforest. Days here feel elemental: paddling through quiet inlets, spotting whales offshore, soaking in cedar-framed hot tubs. It’s a retreat in its purest form — a deep exhale amid the excitement of a global event.
A Winning Wilderness: The Remote Majesty of Nimmo Bay
Hidden within the Great Bear Rainforest, Nimmo Bay is a fly-in lodge that offers deep comfort in one of the most pristine ecosystems on earth. Waterfalls carve through the forest, wildlife moves quietly along the shoreline, and days unfold through a mix of adventure and stillness — heli-accessed picnics, ocean excursions, misty mornings on the dock. As a standalone journey or a post-tournament finale, it offers a rare blend of intimacy, remoteness, and the kind of perspective that only true wilderness can inspire.
The Pacific Advantage: Vancouver to Sonora Island
For travellers who want to pair Vancouver’s cosmopolitan pulse with the calm of the coast, this journey does it with ease. Begin with panoramic harbour views, vibrant galleries, and the city’s celebrated culinary scene before boarding a seaplane bound for Sonora Island — a sanctuary of cedar forests, wildlife-rich waters, and spa-level serenity. It’s a coastal contrast that feels beautifully balanced.
Sun Peaks Spectacular: Alpine Warmth & Wide-Open Summer Skies
Perfect for families or travellers seeking sunlit alpine days, this journey showcases British Columbia’s interior at its most inviting. Your stay at The Residences at Sun Peaks Grand offers spacious comfort and a sense of home in the mountains, paired with warm summer temperatures, meadows threaded with hiking trails, and a welcoming village atmosphere. It’s an effortless, uplifting escape — ideal before the games, after them, or as a pause in between.
Alpine Overtime: A High-Country Finale in Whistler
This journey offers a refreshing finale rooted in Whistler’s mountain charm. Your stay at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler sets the tone: grand alpine architecture, forest trails at your doorstep, and access to lakes, golf courses, and long golden evenings. It’s an airy, scenic end to your time in British Columbia — the perfect slow exhale after the energy of the tournament.
The Spirit of the Games. The Spirit of British Columbia.
The world will come to Vancouver for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, but British Columbia’s true magic lies beyond the stadium: in its rugged shorelines, towering peaks, coastal culture, and the quiet moments in between. Entrée Canada’s partnership with Destination British Columbia reflects a shared belief that travel can be intimate, meaningful, and deeply connected to place.
Whether you join us before the games, between them, or after the last match is played, this is your moment to experience BC at its most extraordinary — privately, thoughtfully, and entirely your own.
