Island Joy Rides

We do our best to follow the coast on this four day cycling experience as we cycle north from the Comox Valley to Quadra Island and back - with a few ferries, forests and farmlands thrown in for variety's sake. This adventure is all about riding with fewer stops and most evenings on your own.

Take a trip back in time as we uncover Cumberland's hidden secrets. This quaint village, surrounded by natural beauty, is well worth discovering. We offer this trip as a private experience and cater it specifically to your group.

Pedal and paddle. Ride and glide. We're partnering with West Coast Expeditions to offer this seamless 8-day Vancouver Island tour - an active holiday with comfy nights and scrumptious delights. Bring your eyes, hearts, and curiosity - we take care of the rest. By bicycle experience the delights of our East Coast (from our Vancouver Island-centric perspective!).

Exhilarating bicycling combined with local culinary delights, award-winning wines, fascinating cultural heritage and scenic kayaking make for a vacation you will remember fondly for a long, long time.

There's something special about an island - the natural beauty, the eclectic people, the unique culture; no two are alike. Join us on this three day escape as we transport you to three completely different and intriguing worlds through the pushing of pedals, the beat of the drum, the smell of the sea and the taste of local delights. You may never want to leave.

Isle RIde begins at the award-winning Kingfisher Oceanside Resort and Spa in Royston and meanders along the coast to Campbell River's famous Painters' Lodge and Fishing Resort.

The stunning scenery and variety of trails make this a memorable four day/three night adventure.
