Discover the wildlife and rugged scenery of Western Canada

‘Beautiful British Columbia’ proclaim the number plates, for once without hyperbole. Sensational wildlife regularly presents itself amid a backdrop of rugged scenery. Here, whale and bear watching is the big draw but seals, elk and beavers ensure a truly authentic British Columbian wildlife encounter. Our adventures take us to Vancouver Island, where we explore beaches and walk trails at Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and we hope to see humpbacks, orcas, black bears and more.

Join experienced naturalist guides for orca, humpback and grey whale watching
Search for black bears on the rocky shoreline of Clayoquot Sound
Observe grizzly bears in their natural surroundings
Visit Vancouver Island, the largest island on the North American Pacific Coast

Day 1: Start Vancouver
The adventure begins in Vancouver, one of the most picturesque cities in the world. If you have time, we highly recommend a stroll around this cosmopolitan city to get a feel for it. Treat yourself to moreish maple cookies in Stanley Park, a 990-acre (400ha) green wonderland where you can see authentic totem poles put up in the 1920s or sit in one of the cafes and enjoy a spot of people watching. There is an opportunity to meet your guide and fellow travellers this evening. Accommodation: The Listel Hotel or Holiday Inn & Suites Vancouver Downtown (or similar)
Day 2: Discover Vancouver; ferry to Vancouver Island
Vancouver is often hailed as the most beautiful city in Canada. This cosmopolitan and diverse metropolis is in stark contrast to the rest of British Columbia, but always proves to be a highlight. We have an orientation tour this morning with time to take in the sights of Gastown and Granville Island, where there are great viewpoints overlooking the city. In the afternoon, transfer to the port and board a ferry to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, a 1hr 30min journey across the Strait of Georgia. We spend time visiting this gateway city before settling into our hotel for the night. Accommodation: Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo or Coast Bastion Hotel
Day 3: Visit Cathedral Grove to see Douglas fir trees
After breakfast, we begin our drive to Ucluelet, our location for the next three nights. On the way, we stop for a walk at Cathedral Grove Provincial Park to see the last remains of the temperate rainforest that covered the island more than a 1,000 years ago. This is one of the most accessible areas of giant Douglas fir trees in the province and there are many trails enabling us to meander through Douglas fir, western hemlock, grand fir and western red cedar trees. Today’s total journey time is around 3hr 30min. Accommodation: Black Rock Oceanfront Resort or Canadian Princess Lodge & Marina (or similar)
Day 4: Pacific Rim National Park Reserve; boat excursion to observe grey and humpback whales
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve is nestled between the mountains of the Vancouver Island range and the Pacific coastline. We walk inside the park this morning to admire the rich natural heritage of the west coast of Canada. It has almost 10mi (16km) of sand and a huge collection of driftwood, while the next stop is Japan! We usually take one of the trails to the beach and visit during low tide to explore some of the intertidal pools and rocky islands. In the afternoon, we board Zodiacs with a naturalist guide who leads a 2hr 30min to three hour whale-observation excursion (depending on the low-tide schedule, this activity may take place earlier in the day). Our goal is to see humpback and grey whales, but it is also common to come across orcas, seals and sea lions among the rocky headlands. Today’s driving time should not exceed two hours. Accommodation: Black Rock Oceanfront Resort or Canadian Princess Lodge & Marina (or similar)
Day 5: Rainforest walk; boat excursion to observe black bears
Today we do two easy walks, which includes rainforest and a well-known beach. We walk the Rainforest Figure Eight trail, which is around one hour and offers the chance to glimpse the west coast rainforest. We also take the Nuu-Chah-Nulth and South Beach Trail, a two-hour walk through the forest to a well-known beach. Here you may see lime-green anemones and some purple, brown and orange starfish. Late this afternoon, we board Zodiacs for a 2hr 30min expedition to observe black bears and bald eagles (depending on the low-tide schedule, this activity may take place earlier in the day). In the wilderness of Clayoquot Sound, black bears search for crabs and clams on the rocky beaches. We travel the fjord inlet by Zodiac, looking in sheltered bays and stopping to see any black bears we find from the comfort of our vessel. Accommodation: Black Rock Oceanfront Resort or Canadian Princess Lodge & Marina (or similar)
Day 6: To Campbell River
Depart Ucluelet and drive for four hours to Campbell River on the north shore of Vancouver Island. Campbell River is known as the salmon capital of the world for its hugely impressive salmon runs, where five species of Pacific salmon swim the river. It has been designated a Heritage River for its importance in British Columbia; following the fish are bears, seals, kingfishers and eagles. This afternoon, we stop at Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park to enjoy the beach. Accommodation: Painter’s Lodge (or similar)
Day 7: Boat excursion to Orford River to observe grizzly bears
Board a covered boat for a full-day excursion to the Orford River area (on the mainland of British Columbia) to observe grizzly bears in their natural habitat. Conservative estimates suggest there are 10,000 grizzly (brown) bears in British Columbia, with 92 percent of the original habitat of grizzlies still occupied. The abundance of spawning salmon in the Orford River at this time of year brings grizzlies down to feast. A two-hour journey by boat with a spectacular backdrop of mountainous scenery brings us to the mouth of the Orford River. From here, we take a short bus journey inland, where there are five viewing platforms from which to spot the bears. We visit one or sometimes two of these platforms, where we hope to observe the bears catching and feeding on salmon, sometimes with cubs in tow. On the boat journey to and from the Orford River, we may also see black bears, orcas, humpback and grey whales, dolphins, porpoises and sea lions. Accommodation: Painter’s Lodge (or similar)
Day 8: Quadra Island for hiking or optional sea kayaking
Board a ferry for a 10-minute journey across the Discovery Passage to Quadra Island, where we spend the day exploring the island trails and beaches by foot. There is also an optional excursion from Quadra Island to try sea kayaking. This three-hour excursion is accompanied by kayak and marine life observation guides and is suitable for beginners. There is never a dull moment paddling by kayak around Quadra Island – we could see soaring eagles, oystercatchers, herons, cormorants, gulls and, if we are lucky, seals, sea lions, dolphins and porpoises. In addition, there will be lots of intertidal life including starfish, sea urchins, jellyfish and crabs. The mountain views offer a stunning backdrop to this excursion. Accommodation: Painter’s Lodge (or similar)
Day 9: Transfer to Victoria; ferry to Vancouver
We drive for around four hours to Victoria, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery of Vancouver Island for the last time. This afternoon, we board a ferry across the Strait of Georgia, admiring the small islands and breath-taking panorama of Vancouver as it comes into view. In the late afternoon, you have free time to explore the city at your own pace, visiting Stanley Park or Chinatown. Accommodation: The Listel Hotel or Holiday Inn & Suites Vancouver Downtown (or similar)
Day 10: End Vancouver
The adventure ends today and we make our return journeys home. Alternatively, speak to your sales representative if you’d like to extend your stay.

If everyone agrees, a set amount is collected (around 50-60 Canadian dollars) and the leader co-ordinates the purchase of supplies for lunch. This enables lunch to be taken in some wonderful beauty spots, making the most of Canada’s great outdoors! Vegetarians and vegans can be well catered for – please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests so our local team can be well prepared.

Weather

Temperatures in the coastal region average 22C (72F) on Vancouver Island but can reach 30C (86F) in the low-lying interior. June and September are usually a bit cooler, and the coast can get rain at any time. The mountains have typical mountain weather, and sun, cloud, rain and even snow can all be experienced in a morning.

Is this trip for you?

This trip is graded Activity Level 1 (Leisurely) with a Safari Rating of 3.

As a lot of our time is spent outdoors, a degree of fitness and a sense of adventure is required. We can explore some of the incredible natural history, scenery and wildlife of Vancouver Island on this itinerary. Inevitably, some time is spent travelling as there is a fair distance to cover; however, we have kept this to a minimum and the longest journey of four hours is broken up with stops.
