Overview

This short tour offers a great west coast experience for anyone looking to discover nature. From Vancouver, travel to Vancouver Island aboard BC Ferries, where you can soak in the views of the many outlying islands and have a chance to spot marine wildlife! We then drive across the Island to the remote coastal towns of Ucluelet and Tofino in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, home to Canada’s best surf and tidepools. The winding road to the coast offers jaw-dropping scenery from lush ancient rainforest to pristine beaches that stretch for miles.
