Self-drive Holidays

Whales, Bears & Vancouver Island

  • 9 days

  • 5 meals

This self-drive tour takes you from Victoria to Vancouver via the region’s ancient old-growth rainforests and windswept coastline. Along the way you’ll be treated to whale and bear watching trips by Zodiac boat, accompanied by knowledgeable wildlife experts. Elsewhere you’ll find out more about First Nation heritage and culture as well as having opportunities to stop off and explore some of the Pacific coast’s pristine provincial parks. A couple of nights at the Sonora Resort provides plenty of luxury, fine dining, and heated swimming pools, as well as a chance to spot seals, porpoise, and bald eagles, offshore. Completing your tour in downtown Vancouver gives you plenty of time to experience this fabulous city by the sea at your own pace. Souvenir shopping, sea wall strolls and street food stalls – what better way to finish off nine days exploring in Canada’s wild west?
