Why choose this Vancouver Island tour ?
Start the day with a visit to the Old Growth forest surrounding Goldstream Park. You will walk alongside one of the most important salmon creeks on Vancouver Island. In the right season, you can even witness the salmon in action! Goldstream also features an impressive Waterfall tucked in a small canyon. After this, we will continue up the gorgeous Malahat highway to the Skywalk. This tower 250m above sea level offers a gentle slope to gently take you up to the top where you will be soaring amongst birds, looking over the ocean and mountain tops. A net at the top offers a lounging area and some chairs and benches can make for a good snack break. From there you can hop on the slide, down to the bottom, or walk back the way you came. Our last stop will be a walk to the Historical Kinsol Trestle. This wooden Train Tresol, repurposed as a walkway, stands 44m in the air and offers beautiful views of the Koksilah River below and the hills surrounding the area.

This beautiful Old Growth Provincial Park follows the Goldstream River through the forest, where, in season, you can follow the salmon through its migration to their spawning ground. The park features boardwalk and gravel path and we will follow the river up to waterfall tucked away in a small canyon.
This soaring tower, 250 meter above the sea, offer a gentle slope that will slowly lead you up to the top of the tower to indulge in amazing views of the Saanich Inlet, penninsula and the Salish Sea. You can always marvel al birds flying around the tower and to go back down, you can catch a ride on their 7 story slide on walk down the path to a canteen, coffee bar and ice cream truck.
The walk leading to the tower features a skywalk amongst the beautiful douglas firs and arbutus forest.
The Kinsol Trestle is debated to be the tallest wooden train trestle in the world! Towering at an impressive 44 meters above the Koksilah River, this beautiful construction will lead you 147m across the canyon for a beautiful view of the river below and peaks above. The river can offer swimming ooportunity but let us in advance if you wish to add this as it is a steep descent and ascent back that will lengthen your trip.
