and ocean scenery on a peninsula between Burrand Inlet and the Fraser
River delta. A superb place to get away from it all, it offers you the
opportunity to enjoy world class entertainment, fantastic cuisine and
some of the finest shopping around.

In Vancouver you can enjoy the wide open spaces, the sandy beaches,
majestic forest and rugged Coast Mountains. Or try your hand at skiing,
windsurfing, scuba diving or roller-blading. For the kids there's the
Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, Science World and the Kids

Vancouver Island -
Victoria
|
Victoria, on green forested Vancouver Island, still retains much
of its colonial heritage. Tour the city by London style, red
double decker bus and see the parliament buildings, indulge in
traditional afternoon tea at the Empress Hotel or watch the many
visiting yachts and seaplanes in the pretty harbour.
Victoria
Beyond Victoria lies the exquisite Butchart Gardens, the log cabin
you dreamed of near Parksville, glorious stretches of white sand
beaches and some of the best whale watching and fishing
opportunities from Tofino and Campbell River.
