Vancouver Island Tour Packages

Victoria, as we’ve established, is the capital of British Columbia, located on the southeastern coast of Vancouver Island. It’s known for its historic charm, cultural attractions (e.g., BC Parliament Buildings, Fairmont Empress), and scenic Inner Harbour (Victoria Harbour). A 2-day trip here would likely focus on a mix of urban exploration, cultural experiences, and light outdoor activities like strolling the harbour or visiting nearby parks. Read Less

The Wild Pacific Escape takes you to the dramatic western edge of Vancouver Island, where ancient temperate rainforests meet the roaring Pacific Ocean within and around Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. This 2-day itinerary focuses on the twin gems of Tofino and Ucluelet – two small coastal towns just 40 km apart that offer contrasting yet complementary experiences. Tofino – often called the “Surf Capital of Canada” – has a vibrant, laid-back energy. Long sandy beaches like Chesterman Beach and Cox Bay draw surfers year-round, while the town itself buzzes with art galleries, craft breweries, and renowned seafood restaurants. It’s the perfect base for whale-watching tours, bear-watching excursions, and hot-spring adventures. Ucluelet (locally nicknamed “Ukee”) offers a quieter, more rugged charm. It’s famous for the spectacular Wild Pacific Trail, a network of oceanfront paths winding through old-growth forest with dramatic views of crashing waves and rocky headlands. Ucluelet is also the prime spot for storm-watching in winter, when massive Pacific swells put on a show against the lighthouse at Amphitrite Point. Read Less

Comox: On the east coast of Vancouver Island, Comox is part of the Comox Valley and offers a mix of coastal activities (e.g., Comox Harbour, fishing, kayaking), outdoor adventures (e.g., Mount Washington, Seal Bay Nature Park), and cultural events (e.g., Filberg Festival). Campbell River: Farther north on the east coast, Campbell River is known as the “Salmon Capital of the World,” with a strong focus on nature and wildlife (e.g., fishing, whale-watching, grizzly bear tours in nearby areas like Bute Inlet). It’s also a gateway to Strathcona Provincial Park for hiking and outdoor exploration. Read Less
