West Coast Wildlife Explorer

Your tailor-made holiday will be as unique as you are. These itineraries are just a starting point, a bit of inspiration to show what’s possible. Your own trip all starts with a conversation with one of our Canada experts, who’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and design the perfect holiday to match.

Canada’s west coast is one of the best places in the country to spot the iconic wildlife Canada’s so loved for – grizzly, black bears, orcas, eagles, and more. We've designed this self-drive itinerary to be all about embracing the country's wild side, with plenty of opportunities for wildlife watching and a stay at one of British Columbia’s most remote and rewarding lodges planned in, too.

Start in vibrant Vancouver, then cross over to Vancouver Island, with stops in Victoria, Tofino, and Campbell River offering everything from whale watching to rainforest walks and quiet coastal views. The real highlight comes in the form of a three-night stay at Knight Inlet Lodge, tucked deep into grizzly country, where expert guides take you out in search of bears in their natural habitat.

Finish with a final night back in Vancouver, still buzzing from all the unforgettable encounters along the way. If you're after a trip filled with big landscapes, close-up wildlife moments, and a real sense of adventure, this could be the one for you.
