Vancouver Island is a 460km stretch of land in the Pacific Ocean, along the south-west coast of Canada. We spent two nights in Victoria, a city on the southern tip of the island, easily accessible from Downtown Vancouver via a coach-ferry combination ticket. This side trip had been booked based on a recommendation from a Canadian couple that we met during a tour of the Loire Valley. They convinced us to check out the area's scenic beauty as an escape from the 'city' atmosphere of central Vancouver. This turned out to be a great tip as we loved the place. Our timing was also perfect with booking a whale watching tour - spending four hours at sea with a super-pod of killer whales.
