Is the Vancouver island explorer for September 2025 still available? Can you provide some example hotels that you stay at.

Thank you for your interest in our Tours, the Vancouver Island Explorer is a great way to see the best of the island. We have space available on the August 4-13 departure, the September 8th trip is full.

Whilst I can manage sea crossings on larger ferries I get very sick on water in smaller vessels so I sensibly avoid going on water. During this adventure trip on the day that the group goes out in a boat would there be any flexibility so that I could opt for an alternative activity with a local provider where I obviously pay extra for that.

Rainforest on Vancouver Island is beautiful nature. Guide was unaware of the program (stops, hikes), we had to help him a lot with figuring out practical stuff, or we would not be doing much. Too bad, because the trip could have been wonderful. Decent hotels.

  that is not a problem, you can decide on the spot what you would like to do and the guide will help to arrange an optional activity. For example a sightseeing flight in a float plane, visit a gallery or museum and more. We'll figure out the credit for the boat trip and the cost of your option at this time.
