Vancouver Island Small Group Tour

Explore the best of what Vancouver Island has to offer on this 10-night small group tour with a maximum of 22 people. Arrangements start with two pre-tour nights in Vancouver including a city tour before meeting your fellow guests on the seven-night escorted tour element of your itinerary. Begin with a spectacular BC Ferries crossing from Vancouver to BC’s capital city of Victoria, where we spend two nights. Explore the famous Butchart Gardens and have sufficient time to explore the city at your leisure. Then enjoy 3-nights in the laid-back town of Tofino including a bear or whale watching excursion. The drive on the Pacific Highway is stunning with views of the rugged coastline and lush rainforest. Your adventure continues to Campbell River on the west coast of Vancouver Island known for its rugged beauty that rewards guests with solitude, secluded beaches and glimpses of wildlife in their natural habitat. Then enjoy another scenic BC Ferries journey back to Vancouver for a one-night post tour stay.
