    Asked on February 11th, 2026

    Interested in this tour in either August or September but would want a guarantee that we could go on the Grisly Bear tour. Can you assure us that this tour isn't booked out and we could participate. Is there time to do Whale Watching tour from Campbell River too?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Discover Canada ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      The Grizzly Bear full day tour is one of our most popular add on activities, however it is not available in all departure dates. It is available for August 16th or September 13th.

      Unfortunately, as it is a full day tour, you cannot combine this activity with Whale Watching; However, you will be able to add Whale Watching in Tofino.

  • A

    Andrew

    Asked on January 13th, 2026

    Does this tour include Cathedral grove? What is difference between Vancouver island premium tour and Vancouver island Discovery tour?

    Tour Details
    • Discover Canada ToursOperator•Written January 2026

      Unfortunately, a stop at Cathedral Grove is not included in the tour.

      There is no difference between the Vancouver Island Premium Tour and the Vancouver Island Discovery Tour.
      The two listings are for the exact same tour with the same experience, itinerary, and inclusions. It's showing twice because the platform supports multiple authorized sales partners, and in this case both partners are offering the same tour through the same system. There's no difference in the tour itself, so you can confidently book either option and you'll receive the same experience with us.

    • Discover Canada ToursOperator•Written July 2025

      Yes, this tour is still available for September 28th, 2025. We're happy to welcome guests of all ages, including those who are 80 and have some mobility challenges. That said, the tour does involve some walking and getting on and off the bus at various stops. If you're comfortable with shorter walks and a few steps, you should be okay.
