Sunsets Over Quadra Island
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival on Quadra Island
Today, you’ll travel to Campbell River, where you’ll take a short ferry ride over to Quadra Island. Quadra is a charming island, with a nature reserve just waiting to be explored. If you’re active, then there’s plenty on offer for you! Walk along the coast or through the woods, and enjoy the impressive views. Quadra is also known for its rocks, islands and marine animals, so head out and delve into the great wilderness.
Day 2 – Sea kayaking
Spend the day exploring the nature reserve before embarking on a special excursion this evening; sea kayaking at sunset. You’ll get a beginners lesson in kayaking and just before sunset set sail (under supervision) to the small rock islands. This is a great spot for observing sea lions, as they’re often here lying on their backs, enjoying the last rays of sunshine!
Day 3 – Departure from Quadra Island
Today, you’ll be leaving Quadra Island, and you can head off to explore more of Vancouver Island – kayaking with Orcas anyone? You can also take the ferry back to the mainland and continue on to the mountains of Whistler where you can walk through meadows and enjoy the snow-capped peaks.
