    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.

    Asked on September 11th, 2024

    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.

    • Timberwolf Tours Ltd.OperatorWritten September 2024

      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.

    • Timberwolf Tours Ltd.OperatorWritten September 2024

      the Tour starts in Vancouver in the Hotel Sandmann and ends with the last night in the Hotel Sandman . You also can book pre and post night in that Hotel for $ 270 per night. The Hotel has a Shuttle bus service to the Airport.
