Itinerary

Days 1-3  Vancouver  
Welcome to Vancouver, Canada, a vibrant waterside city. Explore the city on a guided city tour before taking in the magnificent sights at Capilano Suspension Bridge. Perhaps spend your final day sampling the local cuisine at Granville Island.        

Days 4-5  Vancouver to Victoria  
This morning, collect your motorhome and journey to Tsawwassen harbour for a scenic ferry ride to Vancouver Island, before a short drive to Victoria. Explore this charming waterside city and perhaps visit the beautiful Butchart Gardens.        

Day 6  Victoria to Campbell River      
Head north to the coastal town of Campbell River set between lush forests and the waters of the Discovery Passage. Take a stroll around the town and walk along Discovery Pier.    

Day 7  Campbell River      
Campbell River offers the perfect base to explore the diverse marine life in the surrounding waters. Step aboard a state of-the-art vessel and head out on the water in search of humpback whales, seals and orcas who are resident from mid-July to mid-September.        

Day 8  Campbell River to Telegraph Cove      
Continue north through the lush interior of Vancouver Island, before the road returns to the coast and the remote community of Telegraph Cove.  

Day 9  Telegraph Cove      
Enjoy a relaxing day in tiny Telegraph Cove, one of the last boardwalk settlements on Vancouver Island. Go hiking in the beautiful surroundings or discover nearby bays on a kayak.    

Day 10  Telegraph Cove to Tofino
Retrace your steps south and then turn west to Tofino. Today is the longest drive but there are spectacular views especially as you hug the shoreline of Sproat Lake. We recommend stopping off and enjoying a picnic in the secluded surroundings.    

Days 11-12  Tofino        
A true bucket list experience awaits as you take a cruise at low tide in search of bears. Known for its healthy population of black bears, watch as these playful animals emerge from the forest and forage for food along the water’s edge.        

Days 13-14  Tofino to Nanaimo        
After a leisurely morning, drive to the coastal town of Nanaimo, where you have the following day to explore.

Day 15  Nanaimo to Vancouver      
This morning, board the ferry back to the mainland to drop off your motorhome before continuing to the airport.
