Towering cedars and mist-cloaked mountains frame the waterways of Vancouver and the rugged coastline beyond. Soar above city skylines and evergreen forests, witness grizzly bears in the remote wilderness of Knight Inlet, and explore the windswept shores of Tofino, where whales cruise through the waters of the Pacific.
Across Vancouver Island, ancient rainforests, moss-draped trails, and rich Indigenous heritage bring every stop to life. In Victoria, historic streets, exceptional cuisine, and the elegant Inner Harbour provide a fitting finale to a journey that celebrates the remarkable natural beauty and cultural richness of British Columbia.

Accessible only by floatplane, the lodge occupies a remote and pristine wilderness area renowned as one of the province’s most important habitats for grizzly bears.
Set on the rugged western shoreline of Vancouver Island in Ucluelet, Black Rock Oceanfront Resort is a striking 4-star retreat that pairs dramatic Pacific vistas with calm, contemporary luxury. Its setting is unforgettable – poised between ancient rainforest and rolling surf – giving the resort a character that feels both boldly sculptural and deeply connected to nature.
Standing on the harbourfront at the edge of Victoria’s Inner Harbour, the Fairmont Empress is a storied 5-star landmark whose château-style spires and turrets have graced the waterfront since the early 20th century. Stepping into its grand lobby – all classic architecture and historic charm – you’ll sense the refined heritage that defines this iconic hotel.
