Itinerary

Day 1

Vancouver → Gibsons → Sechelt

Board the ferry from Horseshoe Bay across Howe Sound to Langdale, the gateway to BC's Sunshine Coast, a stretch of mainland accessible only by water or air. Explore the working waterfront of Gibsons, the real-life setting for the beloved Canadian TV series The Beachcombers, before continuing on to Sechelt, a laid-back coastal town wrapped between forest and sea. Settle in for an overnight stay surrounded by quiet inlets and mountain views.

Day 2

Sunshine Coast → Vancouver

Take a relaxed morning to enjoy the Sunshine Coast's slower pace: a walk along the waterfront, a coffee overlooking the inlet, or a last look at the forested shoreline, before heading back to the ferry terminal. Cross Howe Sound once more back to Horseshoe Bay, watching for eagles and marine life along the way, as this short but scenic escape from Vancouver's Sunshine Coast draws to a gentle close.
