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.

This past weekend, my partner and I travelled to Sun Peaks Mountain with the Discover Canada Tours group. We had a fantastic, personalized experience that we both highly recommend. The bus pickup was seamless, the entertainment and knowledge from the guides was top shelf, and the amenities, restaurants, and ski runs were perfect. What a great group of people and a well run excursion company. Thoroughly enjoyed, and highly recommend!

What a amazing tour! Spectacular views for days, the Rockies had me awestruck with its beauty. The tour I went on was 4 days Rockies Summer Classic. It was packed with activity. This did not mean it was rushed, we were given plenty of time to enjoy each stop. The hotels were good quality and comfortable.Our guide, Ben, was awesome. He kept us on track, entertained and clearly loved sharing the Rockies with the group. Yee, our driver, was a great driver and efficient with loading and unloading the bags. Thanks, Ben and Yee!!!

Went on Rockies Premium tour commencing 18 September. Thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed at very good hotels, travelled with a nice crowd of fellow travellers 25 in all and saw some amazing sights. Will and Sabio we're very good as driver/guide. Would recommend this trip if you want to see the Rockies.

Completely recommend this tour and this tour company. Very professional. When I was in the wrong pickup location, they called to find me to make sure I didn't miss the bus. Our driver Bernie was outstanding. He provided great commentary throughout the day, and interacted well with the guests. He was a real champ handling the situation when the vehicle battery died just before disembarking from the ferry on the way home. Had about 2 1/2 hrs of free time in Victoria, and about 1 1/2 hrs at The Butchart Gardens. I was afraid there would not be enough time at the gardens, but it turned out to be just the right amount of time to see everything, with time to browse the gift shop afterwards. The ride on BC Ferries was also quite enjoyable, and got to take in a beautiful sunset at the end of a long day!

I have done the Rockies 5 day premium tour with my wife last July. I will recommend this tour since it was greatly organised all places that we visited we had ample time to take photos and take a stroll around. Places were amazing. Hotels were also very good. But the cherry on the cake was the tour leader William , he was excellent and thanks to his love and knowledge for nature he made this tour even more memorable with his experience. He is also an excellent driver 😊. Thanks William, you are the best. May be the wine tasting was not good enough, prefer more time at Kenowla.

We had an amazing experience touring Victoria Island with Discover Canada Tours. Victoria city is very clean and beautiful, while The Butchard Gardens are truly spectacular.Ian was our bus driver and he was the perfect tour guide. Knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining the whole day long. This tour is well organized and run like clockwork. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone. They know what they're doing and how to make sure everyone has a good time.

Our run group did a trip up Wine Country and I cannot speak more highly about the team that took us. Graham and Joe were fantastic. The trip ran smoothly and took care of all the details.I would definitely go on a trip with them again in the future
