Overview
The title says it all really. Vancouver Island is the size of England and like England has a great variety of scenery. You will see quite a lot of it on this 7 night tour which makes a great add-on to an Alaskan cruise.
You will have time to enjoy both Victoria, British Columbia’s capital and the joy that is Tofino on the west coast. With its crashing surf, calm bays, rainforest and wildlife – Tofino will be a true highlight of your holiday.
This itinerary is flexible and can be tailor-made to suit you; if you want to add extra days in one area, extend the holiday or maybe change the direction of travel. Talk to one of our experts about how to make this holiday the perfect one for you.
Mr & Mrs Bardsley - Travelled to Alberta & BC"We had an amazing honeymoon"
I just wanted to say thank you for helping us enjoy a holiday of a lifetime. We had an amazing honeymoon and all the places you picked for us to stay we're just fantastic!!! The hotels etc were brilliant and I have been really impressed throughout this whole process with your responsiveness. It's not often you get customer service like that and you have done a great job. So thank you. If we ever go to Canada again I wouldn't hesitate to go back to any of those places and recommend you to people.
