The northern section of Vancouver Island is a treasure trove of natural beauty, rich culture, and vibrant wildlife, making it an ideal destination for travellers seeking both adventure and tranquillity. For those looking to explore this relatively untouched area further, Mosaic Earth Travel offers a tour that promises to show you the incredible sights of the region.
I'm sharing this company with you because of their dedication to immersive travel. Our similar passion for transforming mere journeys into unforgettable adventures is something I know Vancouver Island View readers will resonate with.

What Makes Mosaic Earth Travel Stand Out?
Curated Itineraries
- Cultural Immersion: Mosaic Earth Travel specializes in designing itineraries that allow travellers to engage with local cultures. This includes visiting heritage sites, enjoying unique cultural performances, and connecting with local expert guides to hear ancient stories.
- Nature and Wildlife: For those who love the great outdoors, Mosaic Earth Travel offers experiences highlighting each destination's natural beauty. These might include wildlife tours, gentle hikes to see the sights, and kayaking adventures.
- Personalized Service: The small team at Mosaic Earth Travel takes pride in offering tailored trips that cater to their client's specific interests and needs. The owner, Pam, is the face of the business and answers all enquiries to ensure a unique and personalized travel experience.
Sustainability Focus
- Eco-Friendly Practices: The team at Mosaic Earth Travel emphasizes responsible tourism and commits to minimizing their environmental footprint. They emphasize the use of eco-friendly accommodations and low-impact travel options.
- Community Engagement: Their tours often include opportunities to engage with local communities, providing insight into local ways of life.
- Community Support: Their programs intentionally take place in remote, rural areas of Western Canada that are open to visitors. This helps raise awareness of these unique areas, ensuring that tourism dollars directly benefit the people and places you visit.
Employ Local Expert Guides
- Even when you book a self-guided Mosaic Earth Travel tour, knowledgeable local guides are provided for specific day tours. These guides offer deep insights into the history, culture, and ecology of the regions visited and enhance the travel experience. When you book a guided tour, these local insights are twofold.
North Vancouver Island Tours
This nine-day adventure is available as both a guided and self-guided (private) tour. Your journey starts in Campbell River and continues all the way to San Josef Bay, giving you adventures in both areas. Along the way, you also have incredible experiences in Telegraph Cove, Alert Bay, and Port Hardy.
Both North Vancouver Island tours include all the accommodations, breakfasts, some lunches, and all activities listed in the itinerary. Activities include kayaking, wildlife viewing, a day trip out to Cape Scott Provincial Park, cultural activities, and much more.
There are a few wonderful benefits of booking a guided tour:
- Additional meals (3 more lunches and 4 dinners)
- Transportation for your entire journey, starting and ending in Campbell River, in a comfortable passenger van, including a driver!
- Mosaic Earth guide(s) will provide local knowledge, interpretation, logistical expertise, and support throughout the trip.
- For international travellers who want to experience San Josef Bay, a guided tour is the only way to do so. This is because most (if not all) car rental companies forbid you to drive on this rough, extremely remote gravel road.
It's important to note that the 9-day tour of North Vancouver Island is fully customizable in length, focus, and budget. It's also available as a private guided tour (for a min. of 4 people) or a self-guided tour of any group size. The possibilities are endless!
Contact Pam if touring the North end of Vancouver Island is on your bucket list. She can use her expertise and connections to create the ultimate tour that fits all of your needs. And make sure you tell her you read about this tour on Vancouver Island View for an additional perk!
