Ski in the morning, sail in the afternoon and still make it back to town in time for a cocktail or three. Vancouver is also a harbour city, with many major cruise liners using it as a hub to begin its worldwide journeys.

In Maui, you can witness humpback whales navigating the warm blue waters off the coast, go snorkeling alongside green sea turtles and rainbow-colored fish in the bay or shop 'til you drop in Old Lahaina — there's always something to do on Maui.
