Day 1
UK – Campbell River
Your Canada holiday starts from London Heathrow airport with Air Canada to Vancouver and then o­nward to Campbell River. You will be transferred o­n arrival to your hotel. Campbell River is located o­n Discovery Passage o­n the northeast side of Vancouver Island and is known as “the Salmon capital of the World” as its waters are home to all five varieties of pacific salmon.
Overnight(1): Campbell River - Heron's Landing Hotel.

 
Days 2-3
Knight Inlet
You are transferred to the seaplane terminal for your flight to Knight Inlet. Located 50 miles north of Campbell River, Knight Inlet is o­ne of the largest fjords o­n the B.C. coast. Situated 37 miles from the mouth of the inlet is Knight Inlet Lodge. The floating lodge is tucked into Glendale Cove, which offers o­ne of the few protected anchorages in the inlet. Knight Inlet abounds with marine wildlife (Orcas, seals, sea lions, otters, Pacific white sided dolphins, humpback, minke, and gray whales), birds (bald eagles, common loons, herons, trumpeter swans, Canada geese and ducks) and land based wildlife (black bears, deer, mountain goats, cougars) – including, of course the notorious grizzly bear! Glendale Cove is home to o­ne of the largest concentrations of grizzly (brown) bears in British Columbia. In the peak autumn season, it is not uncommon for there to be up 50 bears within 5 miles of the lodge, when the salmon are returning to the river. Starting in late April the bears return from hibernation and start the year off feeding in the estuary. This is the time to see the tiny cubs emerge with their ever-cautious mothers in close proximity. In the summer the berry crop is very heavy and this helps to keep the bears in the general area. Usually some bears are seen every day but not in the high numbers seen in the spring and autumn seasons.

The floatplane will return you to Campbell River where you will be transferred to the airport for your scheduled flight to Vancouver. O­n arrival a private transfer will be provided to your centrally located hotel. The rest of your day is at leisure.

Vancouver

Visit Stanley Park with its renowned aquarium and collection of totem poles, Chinatown, Victorian Gastown and the harbour area o­n the included sightseeing tour. Granville Island, overlooking attractive False Creek, with its wealth of craft shops, markets and range of superb restaurants is well worth a visit. If time permits why not take the gondola to the summit of Grouse Mountain, timing your descent in the evening to see the myriad lights of Vancouver reflected in the harbour before you. Alternatively, visit the Capilano Canyon and dare to walk across the famous suspension bridge as it gently sways 230 feet above the river.


Day 7
Vancouver – Kamloops
