TOUR SUMMARY
Explore one of the world’s great islands from end to end by land and 4 cruises!
Discover the remarkable diversity of Vancouver Island on this journey from its northern reaches to its southern shores. You’ll explore familiar favourites and lesser-known treasures, from sandy beaches and charming coastal communities to remote wilderness accessible only by boat. Venture by chartered vessel to Cape Sutil, north of Port Hardy, and Race Rocks off Victoria, two extraordinary destinations few travellers have the opportunity to experience on the same trip. Along the way, enjoy a cruise through the northern Gulf Islands and travel aboard the MV Frances Barkley on its scheduled sailing to Bamfield, taking in the scenery and character of the coast from the water. With a wonderful mix of boat excursions, sightseeing, and opportunities to explore on foot, this tour offers an engaging way to discover the island at a comfortable pace. Join us to experience the wild beauty, hidden corners, and coastal charm of wonderful Vancouver Island.

DEPARTURE POINTS & DATES
ACTIVITY LEVEL
Level
Moderate Activity: As a traveller you like a variety of activities and walking up to 2 km with breaks such as a guided walking tour is very doable for you without assistance. You can stand for prolonged periods, negotiate a variety of terrain including moderate hills comfortably, and can climb two flights of stairs without assistance. Ramps onto docks can be steep at low tide. Telegraph Cove does not have luggage handling and you may need to handle your own luggage at other hotels if luggage service is not available.
You may bring a cane or walking poles if needed. This tour is not appropriate for people who require the use of a walker. The coach cannot carry a scooter or motorized wheelchair. The tour director and driver have many responsibilities, so please do not expect them, or your fellow travellers, to provide ongoing assistance. If you are not capable of keeping up with the group or require frequent assistance, the tour director may stop you from participating in some activities or some days of the tour.
