Vancouver Biking and Hiking Tour including Lunch

Our 5-day tour of Vancouver Island was OUTSTANDING. Our guides were the owner and legend, Paul, Geoff, and Arman, who is a soon-to-be legend in his own time. We are avid bikers, but this was our first guided group adventure. Our group was magical, and the chemistry made for fun and filling breakfasts, lavish lunches, and dinners overlooking the water with outstanding stories. Paul takes care of everything behind the scenes, while biking, driving the van, and running his business (we don't know how he does it). Geoff knows every detail about the Island and more about history than any human I have recently met, and Arman, well, you have to meet him. He has a smile a mile wide and genuinely loves what he does. We felt like we were on a ride with a group of friends but with everything taken care of for us! Our bikes were loaded and unloaded at great hotels, and our swimsuits awaited us at lovely swimming holes, and the scenery was o- so-Canadian-Authentic and genuine is the way this company rolls. We will be back.

THIS MESSAGE IS TO VIATOR!!!! The tour operator of this "hike & bike adventure" contacted me the evening before the scheduled event to CANCEL this outing due to the fact that the tour guide broke his arm (terrible biking accident) that day. The tour operator ASSURED me that your company

This was my sixth biking tour, the first with Into the Wild and tied with my #1 favorite of all time. This tour was a fabulous adventure, the rides were challenging, beautiful, interesting and fun. At least two guides were with the 14 of us every step of the way and that removed any stress of the challenges- changes in weather, a bear sighting, group of elk claiming the road and detours. They kept the trip exciting and we were assured of their competence coming upon the unknown. Even though I bike regularly, I chose an ebike and recommend it unless you’re a very competent biker, some days are quite challenging. Whichever you choose, if you’re after a fulfilling life experience, this trip is worth making.

Super fun activity with a great guide. Paul was engaging, told great stories, and had a well planned out itinerary.

This was a great trip and Arman was a great guide! They picked me up directly from my hotel downtown, so no extra travel was needed. It had been training the days before, so we got really good views of the waterfalls and the water moving when on the bridges during the hike, and the bike was on a quiet gravel path, which was a nice break from being in the city.

What a great day trip! Arman picked us up at our hotel in a nice Mercedes van. Plenty of room for 6 people and 12 bikes on board. We did a beautiful hike through Lynn Canyon. Arman is quite knowledgeable about the environment, tree growth and First Nations practices in the area. We then picked up lunches and headed to a 10 mile bike ride near blueberry and cranberry fields. Water was also provided. We’ve done many bike tours around the world and this was exceptional

This tour was outstanding! Off the typical tourist trail. Incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and friendly guide. I thoroughly recommend this.

Super fun day with Arman exploring Lynn Canyon and Pitt Meadows. Very knowledgeable about the environment and surroundings.. added much more value to the overall experience and visit. Personable, and able to manage large groups with different skillsets and personalities.. it was a great day and I highly recommend.

Great trip with Paul from Into The Wild. Very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Scenery is fantastic. Would book a longer trip next time. Highly recommend.

Where do I start?! From start to finish, we were looked after by our amazing host Paul. We were picked up at our rental house south of the city, and we didn’t have to worry about anything after that. The hike was amazing and not too challenging. Paul knew so much about the woods and ecosystem, and it was obvious that he loves and respects nature. Loved his educational notes on bears! Lunch was delicious, and the bike ride was suitable for all abilities. Our large group felt looked after the whole day and we will never forget it. Thank you!
