Vancouver Island, off Canada’s Pacific Coast, is known for its mild climate and thriving arts community. It is part of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The southern part of Vancouver Island is the only part of British Columbia or Western Canada to lie south of the 49th Parallel, along with most of the southern Gulf Islands and minor offshore islands. This area has one of the warmest climates in Canada, and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.
Vancouver Island has been the homeland to many indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The island was explored by British and Spanish expeditions in the late 18th century.

Their team saved us lots of time and hassle of organizing the group travel for our athletes, coaches and parents accommodating everyone’s itineraries and specific needs. The booking process went very smoothly and we received all of our travel documents without incident. Trip Designs team went above and beyond in customer service and in getting us the best deal. We continue to use them for our international travel.
