Itinerary of your trip Hiking And Kayak On Vancouver Island

  • Day 1 Day 1: Ferry To The Island And Firs Easy Hike
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Ferry To The Island And Firs Easy Hike

      This morning you meet your guide at a hotel near the Vancouver airport. You board the mini bus for the drive to the ferry terminal and the 90 minute crossing to Vancouver Island. In Victoria a stroll by the lively and picturesque Inner Harbour, lunch on own. Now it is off to your first campground (showers) next to a river under giant trees. Here you have a choice of easy to demanding hikes or pick nicks by the beach. Suggested for the first outing is a short drive to a small preserve. For thousands of years the crashing waters of the Sooke River have carved deep pools and caves out of the rock. Nothing, not even the river runs anything close to straight. So many amazing vantage points and so many unbelievable swimming spots. Here is also the trail head for a somewhat demanding hike (13 km with 420 m gain, 8 mi, 1378 ft) to two remote mountain lakes. Hiking time up to 4 hours.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Longer Kike Through Forests And Views Of The Wild Coast
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Longer Kike Through Forests And Views Of The Wild Coast

      The attraction of another park in the area is the variety of trails and loops through forests and along coast lines. For example, on today's 12 km hike you walk high above the weather blasted rocky cliffs, small bays and deep fjords and every few minutes another startlingly desolate ocean vantage point with views of Juan de Fuca Strait and the Olympic Peninsula. You have good chances to see whales. Sea lions and eagles. Then the trail winds up into the forested hills and back to the starting point. Dinner by the campfire and hopefully another spectacular sunset. Hiking time 3 โ€“ 4 hours.
