What an Incredible Experience The route took us through some of the most beautiful and remote parts of North Vancouver Island. Every day was something new, hiking through lush coastal forests, paddle boarding on crystal clear waters, caves, and endless waterfalls. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable no matter their experience level. They struck the perfect balance between structured activities and downtime, so we could relax and take it all in. I rented an FJ Cruiser from them that came fully loaded with a rooftop tent and all the gear, it made the trip so stress free for myself. Thank you Western Red Adventures. This was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat

I just got back from an 8-day overlanding expedition with Western Red Adventures, and it was nothing short of incredible! From start to finish, the experience was top-tier. The team was super accommodating, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the journey. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking — every day brought new views and landscapes that were more stunning than the last. The environment was friendly, welcoming, and full of good vibes, making it easy to connect with others and fully enjoy the adventure. If you're considering an overlanding trip, I can't recommend Western Red Adventures enough. They go above and beyond to make it the best experience possible. I'll definitely be back for another expedition!

We went on an amazing 10 day trip with Western Red and there is simply no other way to see every side of Vancouver Island in that time. And we were able to relax and enjoy everything in between! Since I have never been 4x4 camping before I had concerns and even when we had an issue where we had to pull over Zach and Brennan helped us get back on the road in no time. By far the most fun, safe, and exciting adventure I have had on Island.

Had an incredible 8 day adventure with Western Red Adventures! They took us to hidden gems we’d never find on our own - serene lakes to paddle on, cliff jumping waterfalls, caves to explore, and stunning ocean side camping spots! The guides were knowledgeable, patient and safety focused while still keeping it adventurous and fun! Would highly recommend to adventure lovers!
