Following your departure from Victoria, enjoy a 1.5-hour scenic drive over the Malahat summit. Make your way up island past Nanaimo to the Coombs district. Your adventure begins with a stopover at the Englishman River falls, where you will enjoy a nice hike to the upper and lower falls for great photo taking opportunities. From there, head to the Coombs Country Market where you can have lunch, explore the local shops, and even view goats grazing on the roof of the market.
After that, make your way to the Little Qualicum Falls, where you will enjoy a breathtaking hike to both the upper and lower falls for more scenic photo opportunities. You will then proceed to Cathedral Grove, which is home to one of Vancouver Islands oldest rain forests and home to some of the largest trees in the world. After a brief hike around the enchanted forest, make your way back to Victoria on a 1.5-hour drive. Please remember to bring a snack to replenish the lost energy in the tour activities.
