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.

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.
