21 day wilderness adventure | June-July 2023
We designed this trip for a family who wants to spend as little time as possible on the road. The parents also want their children to experience true wilderness without getting into ‘survival’ mode. And that they will – Nature Trek Canada has over 30 years of wilderness experience and their guides frequently accompany aspiring youngsters.
Go Wild on Vancouver Island
We developed a route in which we gradually expose this adventurous family to Canada’s west coast environment while also teaching them a little wilderness savvy. Vancouver Island is the perfect setting for shorter guided expeditions, while the remainder of their trip left plenty of room to discover and watch wildlife.
