British Columbia’s photogenic capital numbers among North America’s most charming cities. During the summer months, the Inner Harbour is alive with visiting yachts, street entertainers and whale-watching excursion boats. Add heritage architecture and charming gardens to the mix in a city where one of the most enduring—and endearing—traditions is afternoon tea at the historic Fairmont Empress Hotel.

The package includes rounds of golf with power carts at each of the following courses: Arbutus Ridge Golf Club; Bear Mountain Resort Mountain Course; Bear Mountain Resort Valley Course; Highland Pacific Golf Course; and Olympic View Golf Club. Accommodation is offered in hotels ranging from budget to five-star.

Formed in 2002, the 250-kilometre-long, 12-course Vancouver Island Golf Trail features stops in the wine region of the Cowichan Valley, the seafront tourist towns of Parksville and Qualicum Beach, and the still largely unspoiled wilds of the North Island.
