Canada West Coast Cycling Adventures
What better way to experience Canada’s Vancouver Islands and Gulf Islands than by bike…with a little bit of kayaking thrown in too?

What better way to experience Canada’s Vancouver Islands and Gulf Islands than by bike…with a little bit of kayaking thrown in too? Pedal alongside the Salish Sea, stopping to explore quaint seaside villages—perhaps spotting sea lions and seals basking on the beach. A local ferry takes you across Swartz Bay to your charming Pender Island resort—where you’ll find yourself relaxing on the waterfront, or perhaps indulging in your resort’s invigorating eucalyptus steam cave. Spin on gentle roads through old-growth forests—and join your local trip leaders on a guided sea kayaking adventure to discover the island’s rich marine life. On Vancouver Island, you’ll sample cider at a local cider mill, explore the colorful floral display at Victoria’s Butchart Gardens, and luxuriate in the mineral pools at your opulent seaside resort.
Tour Highlights
- Island-hop along Canada’s west coast, cycling coastal roads and cruising scenic ferry routes through the Salish Sea.
- Paddle the calm, wildlife-rich waters of Pender Island on a guided sea kayaking excursion.
- Ride the Cowichan Valley Rail Trail, including a crossing of the spectacular Kinsol Trestle.
- Explore the renowned Butchart Gardens, a National Historic Site blooming with vibrant seasonal displays.
- Savor a farm-fresh lunch and cider tasting at the family-owned Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse.
Love this tour. Victoria is very nice. Hotels were great and Andrea's and Zuzana were outstanding leaders. Dinners great. Another 5 star VBT trip. See you next year in France!!
