We will then reach our oceanfront resort, where we will be staying for the next few nights.
Day 2 will be spent driving down the beautiful Buttle Lake at the Center of Strathcona Park. Surrounded by distant peaks, this will make you feel transported to the Alps. Featuring stunning Elk Falls and Myra Falls, this is a very scenic trip. Add an optional paddle on the lake or an afternoon 3h ocean kayaking session.
Day 3 will be spent on the water and on the ancestral land of the Homalco and Klahoose First Nation. They will take us onto their land, and even if Grizzly Bears are seasonal (spring and fall), the wildlife from the water is always impressive. Humpback, Bears on the shore, Orcas, Otters, and many animals call these waters home.
Day 4 is when our journey ends. After a slower morning, your guide will take you back to Nanaimo for a Hullo Ferry ride back to Vancouver. You can also upgrade this to a float plane ride for one last highlight!
This trip includes all activity tickets, meals and transportation.
Note that you must be in a mobile physical shape for this tour, as some of the hikes are on uneven, steep or slippery terrain.
