3 days (approximately)
Offered in: English

Take a 3-day escape to the rugged soul of Vancouver Island. We begin with a scenic ferry to Nanaimo, leading to the whimsical Coombs Country Market where goats famously graze atop the sod roof. After a coastal breeze at Qualicum Beach, we'll venture to the edge of the world in Tofino. Here the Pacific meets ancient rainforests at Cox Bay Beach, offering a front-row seat to the raw beauty of Pacific Rim National Park. Whether searching for breaching whales and bald eagles or wandering through the misty, towering giants of Cathedral Grove’s 800-year-old Douglas Firs, every moment captures the spirit of the West Coast. From artisanal shopping to the serene waterfront of Nanaimo, this immersive getaway is the perfect blend of quirk, calm, and coastal wonder.
