Fraser Canyon Explorer: Bridal Veil Falls, Othello Tunnels, Hell’s Gate Airtram, Hope
10 hours 
Moderate
Discover the heart of the Fraser Canyon on this action-packed day trip that blends nature, history, and breathtaking scenery.
Begin your day with a visit to Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park, where a majestic 60-meter-high waterfall cascades down the cliffside like a bridal veil, creating a peaceful atmosphere among moss-covered trees and lush forest surroundings.
Continue your journey to the Othello Tunnels (Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park) — an early 20th-century engineering marvel. Walk through a dramatic series of tunnels and bridges carved into solid rock along the rushing Coquihalla River. This scenic spot is not only stunning but also steeped in railway history.
The highlight of the day is a ride on the Hell’s Gate Airtram, where a cable car takes you high above the narrowest and most turbulent section of the Fraser Canyon. Enjoy a delicious lunch with spectacular views of the thundering river and steep canyon walls.
As the journey winds down, visit Hope Town Centre for a relaxing stroll through the charming downtown area and enjoy the Art Walk — a collection of unique wood carvings and street art that capture the spirit and culture of the region. Movie lovers may recognize this small town as the filming location for the first Rambo (First Blood, 1982) movie.
Optional stop: Take a short walk across the Alexandra Bridge, a historic suspension bridge built in 1926 — perfect for photos with the canyon as your backdrop.
This journey promises unforgettable memories — from the raw beauty of nature to the awe-inspiring history of British Columbia.
Your driver-guide will pick you up at the meeting point, accompany you during sightseeing walks, share interesting stories about each location, and give you free time to shop, relax, or enjoy activities at your own pace. At the agreed time, you’ll meet again with the group and continue your journey together. Finally, you’ll be safely returned to your pickup location.
