Itinerary
Set between the mountains and the ocean, stylish Vancouver’s surroundings offer a glimpse into your journey ahead. After catching the ferry to Vancouver Island, drive across the island to the waterside town of Ucluelet, known for its wildlife and outdoor adventures. Board a zodiac whale watching cruise or join a kayak tour in search of black bears on shore.
Meander onwards to Port Hardy at the northern tip of the island, your gateway to remote Great Bear Lodge. Accessed by floatplane, this floating lodge retreat offers twice daily bear viewing excursions with experienced wildlife biologists in a truly stunning setting.
Retracing your steps, finish your honeymoon in style at the 5 star Relais & Chateaux Sonora Resort. With 3 days here, there’s plenty of time to hit the hiking trails in search of bald eagles and relax in the hot tub with a glass of Champagne. After a few days of luxury, romance and unparalleled service, head back to Vancouver stopping in Parkesvillle to sip the local wines and find a keepsake in a local gallery.
Additional Options: PERFECT PAIRING Board the Rocky Mountaineer train in Vancouver; sweep past glacial lakes, snow-capped mountains and pristine forests as you travel through the magnificent Rocky Mountains in style.
