Vancouver Island Family: Northwest Family Adventure
From beaches to black bears to the Butchart Gardens – Vancouver Island has it all
Imagine the look on your daughter's face when she sees a real live bear for the first time, lumbering casually along the shoreline, just yards from your Zodiac…or the excitement in your son's voice as he beckons – lying on his belly, peering into a tide pool – for you to come see the giant purple starfish he's found. Welcome to 6 days of family fun on British Columbia's Vancouver Island!
Splash barefoot along untouched Canadian beaches searching for treasures in Pacific Rim National Park. Peer skyward in awe of a 800-year-old Douglas fir in Cathedral Grove. Pedal the quiet bike paths of Gabriola Island, explore the world-famous arboretum in Butchart Gardens and paddle tandem kayaks past along forested coastlines, learning about rainforest ecology, marine life and local history. By night, enjoy a delectable meal and some well-deserved R&R in the comfort of Vancouver Island's best lodges and seaside resorts.

Distinctive Accommodations
6 Days, 5 NightsNight 1: Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort
The name is Gaelic for, “house by the sea” but this is no rustic beach retreat. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by a forest of Arbutus and Douglas fir, guests are pampered in luxuriously appointed, handcrafted log bungalows with gas fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs surrounding the new Grotto Spa, British Columbia’s largest.
Nights 2 - 4: Middle Beach LodgeTofino’s “Quiet Place on a Wild Coast” features deluxe timbered suites with large balconies, fireplaces and breathtaking views of the ocean and mile-long private beach. The continental breakfasts with fresh baked breads, pastries and homemade preserves are to die for.
Night 5: Grand Pacific Hotel
Set in the inspiring, relaxing surroundings of Victoria's Inner Harbor, this award-winning hotel enjoys a reputation as one of the finest five star accommodations in British Columbia. Bright and spacious guest rooms come with private balconies, air conditioning, high-speed Internet access, choice of pillows, and much more
A few more reasons why you've gotta go…
- For the bragging rights: your kids can tell their friends they've been so close to a bear they could actually hear the crunch! of crab shells cracking in its teeth.
- The ice cream stop along the Lochside Trail on the way to Mattick’s Farm: it's just what the doctor ordered.
- Victoria's Undersea Gardens: come face to face with the wonders of the underwater world without getting wet!
- The kayaking: learn about rainforest ecology, marine life and local history as you paddle tandem kayaks past small islands and along forested coastlines, keeping an eye out for harbor seals and eagles.
