Your Wild Canada adventure begins in the urban oasis of Vancouver, a haven of art, culture, food and nature. From Vancouver, you will pick up your rental car and depart for Campbell River. Along the way you will pass by Nanaimo, also known as the Harbour City and the seaside town of Parksville. You will then spend the night in Campbell River, the “Salmon Capital of the World”.

Your next destination is Knight Inlet Lodge, fly 30 minutes by float plane to Knight Inlet, a remote fjord and a natural habitat of the grizzly bear. Next head south west to Tofino on the rugged West Coast. During your time in Tofino you will have the choice of coastal bear watching or a whale watching cruise. Your final stop before heading back to Vancouver is Victoria, British Columbia’s capital city. You can explore the wonderful floral display at Butchart Gardens or eat like a Canadian on a food tour!

Tour Plan

Day 01 Campbell River

Depart Vancouver for Horseshoe Bay and sail aboard BC Ferries to Vancouver Island. Upon departing BC Ferries head north through Vancouver Island’s second largest city, Nanaimo, known as the Harbour City, and Parksville, the beginning of Beach Country and home of the annual International Sandcastle Competition. Your destination today is the city of Campbell River, historically renowned as the “Salmon Capital of the World,” lying at the heart of neighbouring Strathcona Park, Desolation Sound, Mount Washington and Robson Bight.

Today’s destination, Knight Inlet Lodge, is not accessible by road, so you’ll fly in by floatplane from Campbell River. A thrilling 30-minute flight brings you to the mouth of the Glendale River where Knight Inlet Lodge floats on large cedar booms. Bring your camera - you’ll be going on a bear watching and wildlife viewing tour in search of the grizzly bears that frequent this area.
