About this trip

Eight days of hiking and camping through British Columbia, covering Vancouver Island and the mountains around Squamish and Whistler. This is a trip built around movement — you're on your feet most days, covering real ground rather than ticking off sights from a coach window.

You take the ferry across to Vancouver Island for hikes in East Sooke Provincial Park and along a stretch of the Juan de Fuca trail, then head back to the mainland to climb into alpine terrain near Squamish and Whistler, with lakes and glacier-capped peaks as your reward for the effort. Nights are spent camping.
