Vancouver Island in British Columbia (BC), Canada is one of the richest wildlife viewing areas in the country, with diverse and extraordinary species ranging from grizzly bears and humpback whales to eagles and swans. BC is home to the richest diversity of mammals, butterflies, and breeding birds in all of Canada and this trip is scheduled for prime time viewing. Join Reefs to Rockies for this one-of-a-kind summer wildlife expedition to Vancouver Island.
Your journey begins in Campbell River, a small town on the central east coast of Vancouver Island known as the Salmon Capital of World. Your guides will arrange pick-up from the nearby airport and check-in to our comfortable oceanfront accommodation for the night – an historic salmon fishing lodge once popular amongst celebrities in the 1940s and 50s. Depending on time of arrival, the afternoon can be spent strolling the waterfront trail and fishing pier, or joining an optional whale-watching tour. Dinner is at leisure, either at the on-site restaurant or at one of the many seafood restaurants in town.
