Early the next day you’ll leave Vancouver and sail over to Vancouver Island. A region characterized by pristine islands, gorgeous coastlines, and emerald forests. On Vancouver Island you’re always reminded of the ever-present Pacific Ocean that shapes the dramatic scenery. You’ll head to the town of Campbell River known as the “Salmon Capital of the World”. Surrounded by a backdrop of stunning national parkland and towering peaks, this is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature. Your lodge for the next few nights is only accessible by 30 mins seaplane. As you touch down, you will see a gigantic cedar branch over the water. Your luxury lodge is right there in the tree!

Another one of British Columbia’s gems awaits you in the south west. Here you’ll surround yourself by isolated inlets and sandy shores flanked by dense cedar forests. We have selected an elegant inn for you with panoramic ocean views, crackling fireplace, bath tub and private balcony. You’ll be flabbergasted by the immense horizon every time you wake up. Embark on whale watching trips, where plankton rich seas and sheltered bays make this one of the best placesto watch Gray Whales and Humpback Whales. After a day out on the ocean you can spend the following day simply enjoying the untouched beaches, or taking to the waves to tame the pounding surf.
