Canada · TRAIN EXPERIENCES
A shortlist to send to whoever is planning: 5 train experiences that hold up, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the thing to know before you commit.
Power Station and Tunnel by day, illuminated Horseshoe Falls at night, plus the climate-controlled Incline Railway all on one Power Pass.
“Excellent tour where they explain to you through headphones the history of the tunnel, construction, engineering, among other things. The view of the falls when you get to the end of the tunnel is spectacular.”
Bike the Kettle Valley Railway from Myra Canyon to Penticton, 74 km of trestles and tunnels, ending with an included wine tasting.
“The first part of ride over the trestles was spectacular. The balance to Chutes Lake was enjoyable but not as much. Ben was super kind to pick us up at Chutes Lake, which we really appreciated. Gave us a chance to learn all about the area. He’s terrific. Whether you do the shorter option through the trestles or full day ride, you’ll have a great time.”
Hike Whistler’s Train Wreck graffiti boxcars, cross the Cheakamus Suspension Bridge, then chase glacial river waterfall views on a small-group tour.
“Wonderful tour and exceptional tour guide. Ryan was so knowledgeable and helpful. Loved the hike to the train wreck. Just an amazing area to see and experience. Would recommend taking time to experience this and learn more about the area from Ryan. Loved it!”
Pedal through Myra Canyon trestles on a guided bike ride, then taste Okanagan wines at 3 to 4 wineries with pickup included.
“Beautiful if easy bike ride. Views are stunning. The vineyards were very enjoyable. Lots of pours lots of variety. Alain was a great guide pleasant and knowledgeable.”
Exporail in Quebec brings Canada rail history to life with a 400-artifact tunnel, public cars, and year-round fun near Montreal.
