Next, travel along the stunning Salish Sea waterfront, taking in spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and reaching Mile Zero of the Trans-Canada Highway, the starting point of the world’s second-longest highway. Your tour concludes in the historic James Bay neighborhood, with beautifully preserved Victorian homes and captivating stories of the area’s rich history, including iconic Canadian artist, Emily Carr.
