British Columbia & Vancouver Island, Canada

Hike, kayak, whale watch and surf your way around Western Canada's most spectacular wilderness — independently. This self-launched version of Much Better Adventures' popular British Columbia and Vancouver Island tour follows the exact same route: Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler, the granite walls of Squamish, the wild shores of Vancouver Island, whale watching in Victoria, surfing in Tofino, and a wild overnight kayak camp in Clayoquot Sound. By booking transport, accommodation and activities yourself, you can save a significant chunk versus the guided group tour — while still experiencing everything that makes this corner of Canada so extraordinary. Costs are estimates and exclude international flights.

Hike, kayak, whale watch and surf your way around Western Canada's wild natural wonderlands — independently. This self-launched version of Much Better Adventures' flagship Canadian trip follows the same epic route from Vancouver to Squamish, across to Vancouver Island, and out into the wilds of Tofino and Clayoquot Sound — but you book it all yourself, travel by public ferry and bus where possible, and save hundreds in the process. Expect old-growth forests, orca-filled straits, world-class surf, and a night of wild camping on a remote island. All costs are approximate estimates per person.
