5-Nights Canada: Vancouver Island & the Gulf Islands

Canada: Vancouver Island & the Gulf Islands

What better way to experience Canada’s Vancouver Islands and Gulf Islands than by bike… with a little bit of kayaking thrown in too? Pedal alongside the Salish Sea, stopping to explore quaint seaside villages—perhaps spotting sea lions and seals basking on the beach. A local ferry takes you across Swartz Bay to your charming Pender Island resort—where you’ll find yourself relaxing on the waterfront, or perhaps indulging in your resort’s invigorating eucalyptus steam cave. Spin on gentle roads through old-growth forests—and join your local trip leaders on a guided sea kayaking adventure to discover the island’s rich marine life. On Vancouver Island, you’ll sample cider at a local cider mill, explore the colorful floral display at Victoria’s Butchart Gardens, and luxuriate in the mineral pools at your opulent seaside resort.
