Vancouver Island is bursting with colour and charm on this inspiring spring escape. Begin at Milner Gardens with a guided tour of blooming rhododendrons followed by lunch at the Qualicum Beach Cafe. Browse sweet treats at Coombs Country Candy before settling in for the night in Port Alberni and dining harbourside at The Starboard Grill. The next morning, step aboard the MV Frances Barkley to journey through scenic inlets, visit remote Kildonan and Bamfield. Watch as freight, mail, and supplies are offloaded to remote coastal communities—part of this vessel’s vital every other day rhythm.
Arrive in the boardwalk village of Bamfield with time to stroll its rugged charm before returning to Port Alberni. Continue your adventure with an easy forest walk among ancient cedars and waterfalls enroute to Coombs’ famous goats-on-the-roof market and village. Return to the mainland on the new passenger only Hullo Ferry with a premium-class reserved seat from Nanaimo to Coal Harbour, Vancouver where your black car awaits.
