Canada & Alaska - 2014

Day 16: Whistler — Victoria Thu Jul 03, 2014

Today is very exciting. As most of the tour group travel by road and ferry from Whistler to Victoria on Vancouver Island, we have chosen to forgo the journey by land and ferry, and take a one-hour flight from Whistler to Victoria by floatplane. We are blessed with reasonable weather and enjoy incredible views of the Georgia Strait arriving in Victoria in the early afternoon. We have a leisurely lunch with our fellow flyers before greeting the greeting the bus as it arrives.
