JOIN US ON A GUIDED DAY TOUR OF THE SUNSHINE COAST!!
Accessible only by water or air, the lower Sunshine Coast region of British Columbia has retained its remote, laid-back and slower paced lifestyle. Come explore the stunning natural scenery including long ocean beaches, mountains and rainforest. As well, enjoy an area well known for its eagle and other bird species. Influenced by creative First Nations people, the lower Sunshine Coast has historically welcomed visitors. The early 20th century steamships, when visiting from Vancouver, named the area "the Gulf Coast Riviera". Leave your vehicle behind and spend the day sightseeing with our professional tour guide!
TOUR DETAILS
- Your British Columbia ferry vessel departs the community of Horseshoe Bay at 9:20AM. Arriving in Langdale terminal at 10:00AM, you'll walk off the ferry and then meet your tour
- After a ten minute drive, your first stop is the scenic village of Gibsons Landing. Commentary is provided on the history and maritime lifestyle of this community famous for its international recognition as the filming site of the TV show "The Beachcombers". Time is allowed for exploring, shopping and lunch (seafood or other cuisine restaurant choices).
- Departing at 12:30PM, the tour will continue along highway 101 driving through "Upper" Gibsons to Roberts Creek, famous as the "Gumboot Nation" and for its many weekend/summer homes with close ocean access to the Strait of Georgia. Commentary is provided during the five minute drive through this unique community before returning to highway 101.
