If you want to see the authentic Vancouver Island you must book this tour with Island Trails Ecotours. Noemie is a fantastic guide. Her knowledge of the island’s ecosystem, the trees and plants is incredible. She took us on hikes to areas that are not as well known so we got to experience the forest peacefully. Lunch on the beach and supper at a local pub on the water were excellent. The cabin was great and had all the amenities. The waterfalls at Mystic beach and Englishman River were beautiful. The tidal pools at Botanical Beach were incredible. And the Wildlife Sanctuary was amazing. The Island Trails Ecotours tour is definitely the one that everyone should take to experience the island. Thank you Noemie for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us and being an incredible host. Your tour was the highlight of our trip.
