1.For whale watching. .go the distance to Campbell River on Vancouver Island
Submitted by:an AOL User
September 2, 2009
My husband and I went to Vancouver, Victoria and Campbell River for three weeks. We took one of the 3 hour whale watching tours in Victoria and were disappointed. I had researched before we got there and we decided to drive the distance to Campbell River which is not far and a beautiful scenic drive. We booked a whale watching expedition with Discovery Marine Safaris and it was well worth the extra time and money. We stayed at a little place that's called Rustic Motel, don't let the outside ...

My husband and I went to Vancouver, Victoria and Campbell River for three weeks. We took one of the 3 hour whale watching tours in Victoria and were disappointed. I had researched before we got there and we decided to drive the distance to Campbell River which is not far and a beautiful scenic drive. We booked a whale watching expedition with Discovery Marine Safaris and it was well worth the extra time and money. We stayed at a little place that's called Rustic Motel, don't let the outside fool you it was very clean and had a great breakfast from 5-11am with plenty of sitting. The Capt of the Eagle 33 was very knowledgeable and lunch on the tour was delicious, just a sandwich with fresh fruit and veggies and dessert but a variety was offered. We also toured all over Vancouver and enjoyed it greatly, there is lots to do. Be sure and look for the cowgirl performer on Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria she was great. There are so many great restaurants to choose from, whatever type of food you like they will have it in Vancouver. North Vancouver Hotel was clean and friendly, conveniently located. Avoid the Howard Johnson in Victoria, it is conveniently located but very dirty and the staff is horrible to it's customers.

My husband and I just visited Vancouver last month. We had a blast. We drove from Seattle WA to Canada. The Visiting Center was great. They provided a wealth of information that made our travels even better. They booked our hotel reservations for us a well. A must see place is the Musuem of Anthropolgy. After you finish in the museum take the 300 plus stairs down to the beach. It's gorgeous. Clothing is optional for the beach :) If you ever get a chance to go there.....GO!... More

LOTS TO DO CONVEINECE ABOUNDSFlew to Vancouver from NY went on the Spirt to Cruise Alaska and after leaving the ship stayed in Vancouver for another 7 days at the Sheraton Wall Centre. The Hotel was beautiful and right in the middle of everything. We were able to walk around from the hotel to many different areas which you would not see if on a tour bus that zips by. We did take a tour excursion that the Coincerge at the hotel suggested and that tour made many wonderful stops. It was an all day tour seeing many sights yet not tiring. The Public Market was wonderful. Many items are handmade there and sold by the artisans themselves. There was not one thing we found wrong either on the cruise or in Vancouver. The people in Vancouver are very nice and willing to lend a helping hand. I am in a wheelchair and this is certainly a City that is very accomodating to handicap persons. The only other city I know of that is equally as accomodating is in the states and that is Las Vegas. If you ever want to see a beautiful place.......VIsit Vancouver you will not regret it!!!!!
