Itinerary

Day
1–3
Arrive in Victoria and settle into one of Canada’s most elegant coastal cities. Walk the seaside promenade, visit Canada’s oldest Chinatown, and sip cocktails at the historic Empress Hotel. Explore vibrant neighborhoods like Bastion Square and Fan Tan Alley, and take in the stunning Butchart Gardens. Your west coast adventure is off to a beautifully relaxing start.
Day
4-5
Take the scenic Malahat Highway to Chemainus, famous for its large-scale murals and small-town charm. Visit the quirky Coombs Market where goats graze on the roof, then head to Nanaimo—home of the beloved Nanaimo Bar! From there, journey on to Tofino, a laid-back surf town framed by dramatic forests and crashing waves. You’ll settle in, breathe in the sea air, and start to feel the slow rhythm of the coast.
Day
6–7
Explore Clayoquot Sound with a guided nature walk that brings Indigenous culture and ecology to life. Visit sacred red cedar groves on Mears Island and learn about traditional foraging and plant medicine. Whether you choose to surf, hike, or unwind in an artist's gallery, these are the days that define your Vancouver Island experience—wild, creative, and unforgettable.
Day
8–10
Return to Victoria with scenic stops and free time to wander, reflect, or shop. Take an optional day trip to nearby Sooke, a coastal gem known for its nature trails and artisan community. For an extra taste of island life, extend your journey to Salt Spring Island—known for its organic farms and artist markets. Otherwise, say goodbye to the coast and take your memories home, carried on a sea breeze.
