11 days from £2700 per person

Route: Vancouver – Campbell River – Knight Inlet Lodge – Tofino – Victoria - Vancouver

Perfect for those seeking wild and wonderful animal encounters, with a hint of city culture; this thrilling British Columbia self-drive journey explores Vancouver, and the best spots on Vancouver Island for wildlife viewing. After soaking up the friendly buzz and iconic attractions of Vancouver, you’ll hop on a ferry across the Strait of Georgia to begin your wildlife watching adventure. Much of Vancouver Island is protected parkland, but also home to quaint frontier towns, deliciously fresh seafood and plenty of friendly locals. From Campbell River you’ll soar high above the clouds as you fly to, and spend the night at, the remote Knight Inlet Lodge, an area of Western Canada which is home to a large concentration of grizzly bears living freely. As you criss-cross Vancouver Island you’ll travel through one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems: rainforests, oceans, rivers and lakes, which form the perfect platform for an abundance of wildlife species to live in natural habitats. From salmon fishing in Campbell River to whale watching and spotting sea lions in Tofino, all mixed in with the fresh sea air and impressive panoramic scenery.
