Canada Self-Drive, Tots in Tow

Arrive into Vancouver, often regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Spend two nights here - time enough to enjoy the ocean-side location, Stanley Park and Granville Island - home to the largest free water park in North America (the boat ride is fun too!).

Next, we suggest you hire a car and set off for the ferry to Vancouver Island, before driving on to Victoria for 2 nights. The city combines old world charm with new world adventures such as whale-watching boat trips - ideal for wildlife enthusiasts of all ages. Enjoy exploring the inner harbour and make sure you stop at the excellent and child-friendly Royal BC Museum.

After your time in Victoria, drive north-west for approx. 5 hours through some stunning scenery until you reach Tofino in the windswept Pacific Rim National Park. With three nights here, you have time to take in wild beaches, home to giant rockpools and backed by ancient forests - a truly magical setting.

From there, drive approx. 3 hours east to Nanaimo, take the ferry back to Vancouver and head to Whistler (approx. 90 minutes away) for your final three nights. As well as canoeing you can take the Peak to Peak Gondola for some show-stopping views. Whistler itself is very well set up for younger travellers with pasta and icre-cream virtually on tap in the local restaurants and some great play areas too - always a hit!

Following your stay here, drive back to Vancouver, return your car and fly home.
