To start this wellness tour, you’ll be picked up in either Victoria or Nanaimo and be whisked away to the magical Tofino on Vancouver Island. Settle into your hotel, then head out to the beach for a dinner cook-out. After enjoying your plant-based meal, enjoy a calming yoga class on the beach at sunset. Good things are coming, and this is a heck of a way to kick it off.

Meals: Dinner

Rise and shine to the sounds and smells of the ocean next to your room. Begin the day with meditation on the beach, followed by a healthful breakfast and locally-roasted coffee. Once you’re nourished, you’ll embark on a quick boat ride to Meares Island to hike the Big Tree Trail, chock-full of old-growth forest and home to one of the largest and oldest trees on the west coast, known as the “Hanging Garden.” Back in Tofino, you’ll have some free time and can choose to participate in a plant-based cooking class for dinner. After dinner, indulge in a calming yoga practice on the beach. End the day around the campfire, admiring the skies as the stars appear.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Start the morning with sunrise meditation, followed by a nourishing breakfast. Then, surf’s up! Head down to the beach for your surf lesson with a professional – don’t worry, you’ll start on beginner waves. After surfing, take a long walk on the aptly named Long Beach, appreciating the mystical west coast nature. Return to the hotel for a dinner feast, then challenge yourself to an Ashtanga yoga class. Rest your muscles in the outdoor hot tub tonight.

This morning, you’ll welcome the day with sun salutations on the beach, then over breakfast, you can decide which activities to do before this afternoon. You can either take another guided hike or rent a board and head out into the water to try surfing on your own (or both!). After lunch, test out your balance by attempting to do yoga on stand-up paddleboards. Remember, your poses don’t have to be perfect, and you will probably fall a few times. Enjoy your last meal together in the evening, then engage in a group circle meditation and goal-sharing session to complete the tour.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Wake up and walk to the beach for a calm morning yoga class. Pack your things, share your contact information with your new friends, and hop in the van for your return transfer to Nanaimo or Victoria. Leave filled with love, grace, and gratitude.
