Discover some of the highlights of Southwest British Columbia, from vibrant Vancouver to the waterfront city of Victoria, visiting Tofino and Whistler in between. You will transfer between locations by seaplane, enjoying stunning aerial views of the Coast Mountain range, Howe Sound and the Gulf Islands which allows you to spend more time on the ground enjoying the plentiful pursuits available.
Your journey begins in Vancouver where you are free to explore the highlights and major downtown attractions including English Bay, Stanley Park, Granville Island, Gastown and Yaletown, but be sure to leave a little time for shopping on Robson Street.
After crossing the Strait of Georgia on a scenic seaplane transfer, the adventure continues in Tofino where you can live the West Coast lifestyle. Explore the Pacific Rim National Park, observe whales and coastal bears on a marine zodiac safari in Clayoquot Sound, enjoy the surf, sand and dine on succulent seafood.
The alpine resort of Whistler is your next destination and here there are countless outdoor adventures and activities to suit all abilities. If relaxation is more your thing, take in a round of golf or spend the day on a beautiful beach by a cool mountain lake.
Your final port of call is the waterfront city of Victoria. Superb heritage and architecture make Victoria a delight to explore, and a wealth of experiences cover the spectrum from wonderful wine to manicured gardens and incredible marine life.
Your journey ends where it began, back in Vancouver, and from here you may continue your travels or head home.
