2.Victoria Seaplane Tour with Return Bus and Ferry

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 146 reviews · from $297

Fly 35 minutes from Vancouver Harbour to Victoria with views of Stanley Park, Lions Gate Bridge, and the Gulf Islands. Spend the day exploring Victoria independently, then return by coach and BC Ferries through Active Pass. The return takes about 3.5 to 4 hours.

“A great day, helped by beautiful weather. Took the 7.30 flight over to Victoria, which gave us plenty of time to use the local 75 bus to Butchart gardens and still have time to have a good look round Victoria. The flight over was excellent. We were warmly greeted and had coffee before departure. Boarding was easy and the take-off and landing exceptionally smooth. The views of Vancouver, Stanley Park and the other islands were stunning. We returned by bus and ferry. Our driver was very informative and the ferry trip great fun. All in all a great trip that I would definitely recommend.Read more”

3.From Caleta de Fuste: Return Bus and Ferry to Lobos Island

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 140 reviews · from $40

Take a bus from Caleta de Fuste to Corralejo, then ride the ferry 15 minutes to Lobos Island. You get about four hours to hike to the volcano and lighthouse, swim at La Concha Beach, snorkel, or eat at the island restaurant. This is independent exploring, not a guided walk.

“Really good experience. €64 for two people and a message the night before to tell us where to get picked up from with address - easy done. From the coach to the boat was an hour long with only two stops at other hotels for more passengers - no trouble. Got on the ferry and away we go. We got to Lobos Island and you’re free to do as you please - exciting. We decided to climb the mountain first before heading to the beach area and finishing off at El Peurtito for a beautiful sea view and swim whilst enjoying delicious Spanish Omelette and Croquettes from the one restaurant.…”

“We arrived at the port only to find out that the tour operator had not received the reservation so the driver was not there. We were told a driver could arrive in a couple hours. Rather than waste precious time, we purchased ferry tickets on our own and visited the 4 towns accessible by ferry. Cinque Terre is absolutely beautiful and an amazing place to visit. Viator did promptly refund the amount I paid in advance. I'm still not clear on whether Viator was at fault or the tour company.”
