Excellent day on Vancouver Island - This day trip was very very enjoyable and a good taster of what Vancouver Island has to offer. Our guide for day was Kim and she was exceptional in her role as well as simply an excellent travel companion. Her knowledge is encyclopaedic. We had an excellent time from beginning to end and Kim was on hand the whole time providing local knowledge and information and able to answer any questions. We would definitely recommend this trip - we loved it.

溫哥華島和馬拉哈特天空步道 - Kim是一個非常棒的領隊
這趟溫哥華島和馬拉哈特天空步道真的很開心
Kim沿途介紹風景，每一個景點都認真介紹，讓我們在參觀景點時能夠更加了解
每次集合時間地點也都講的非常清楚
讓我們即使英文不太好也可以玩得很愉快
推薦Kim導遊，簡直超愛她。
Kim is a great team leader
This trip to Vancouver Island and Malahatt Skywalk was really fun
Kim introduced the scenery along the way, and each attraction was carefully introduced, so that we could understand more when we visited the scenic spots
The time and place of each meeting are also very clear
It made us have a great time even if we didn't speak English very well
Recommend Kim the tour guide, I love her so much.

Wow wow wow - among your and even better tour guide - Wow wow wow is all we can say about this tour and our tour guide. Meghan our tour guide/ driver was absolutely amazing. She made us feel so welcome from the outset and was super informative. Our intimate group got on so well thanks to the ice breakers used by Meghan. A 13 hour tour was so enjoyable and I would recommend anyone that books this tour (or any other tour) with Discover Canada that they ask for Meghan as their tour guide. You will not be disappointed.
She went out of her way to help us with queries and answer our questions along the way.
She made this tour so enjoyable for us today. Thank-you Meghan!
And Discover Canada if you read this - you need to hold onto this amazing lady. We think you need to throw some incentives her way- cash bonuses, free trips, pay rise 👍 (just to name a few).
She is so good at her job and my family (we see from Australia) would recommend your company to other family and friends to book through you because of what Meghan displayed to us today.

A long but exhilarating day. - What a brilliant experience from start to finish, our guide Kim kept us informed every step of the way with facts about the journey and things to look out for in Vancouver, the Malahat Skywalk did not disappoint and our trip to the Cidery was outstanding both the food and the cider, I would highly recommend booking this trip if you are in Vancouver.

Super good with warm family feeling. - I went on a trip to Vancouver Island. This trip was super good. In other words perfect. As a matter of fact not only the tour itself was perfect but the company. Amanda and Bobby the two guides were super friendly, helpful and very good in every way. They succeeded in creating a real family atmosphere with every passangerss which quite frankly does not happen in every tour no matter how good a day trip is. We took the ferry which was about 1,5 half to get to Vancouver island and continued to travel with the shuttle and we went up to the Malahat skywalk. The view from there was spectacular. One great thing about that skywalk that on our way back you can test your courage by sliding down. Believe me It is not scary. You can slide down in about 10 seconds but It is your choice not sn obligation. After that we had a good lunch and continued our way for a slider and gin tasting. Our last stop was Duncan. Finally we took the ferry back to Vancouver but that ferry stoped at North Vancouver and Bobby drove us back to Canada place. where the starting point was in the morning. The whole tour took roughly 13 hours. To cut a long story short I highly recommend that tour to everybody who wants to participate in a day trip when you can easily interact and create a personal communication with the two wonderful tour guides Amanda and Bobby who were so great in every way.

Breathtaking Experience - It was so much amazing tour!! The thing I had looked forward to the most is Malahat SkyWalk, of course! It was breathtaking experience and I was able to relax in high place and nature. It was also perfect weather to enjoy the view. I can be excited not only there but also Cowichan bay, duncun and Marridale cidery. At the cidery I could drink some kinds of apple cider and liqueur. From Morning to evening, I was definitely satisfied with every attraction and enjoyed a part of Victoria island. Thank you for this wonderful tour!!! I strongly recommend to join.

Worth a visit.. around 3 hours spent there - Good facility, with very friendly staff. When we bought a ticket the gentleman serving us asked where we were from and then proceeded to recommend areas and places to visit, very friendly.
The skywalk is not too long and the viewing tower is a gentle slope to the top. Brilliant views. You can opt to take the slide to the bottom where there are some vendors to provide ice cream and snacks.

Malahat is nice but the poorly planned day ruins it - Meeting directions and times are wrong and confusing. Guide was late to pick up. Very little anticipatory guidance was given and we were left guessing when we were going to eat and where. When asked, the guide didnt even bother to tell us the best food was at the next stop so maybe dont eat until then. The way the day was planned out, the best option for lunch wasn’t even reached until 2 PM. Listed itinerary was not followed and the Duncan stop listed wasnt even made. Times at stops were not appropriate for what was available to do at the stops. At the Cowichan Bay stop, most shops werent even open and we just sat around for an hour waiting. For sure wouldnt do this again and would not recommend to friends.
