🚲🌿 Explore Vancouver Island Through Bikes, Nature & Local Connection
The experience
Join Adi and me as we work outdoors and share our passion for nature, sustainability, and the incredible landscapes of Vancouver Island. Much of our daily life involves maintenance and welcoming national and international guests, helping them discover the Long Beach, Tofino, and Ucluelet area by bicycle. We’re environmentalists in action and love exchanging ideas, experiences, and local knowledge with travelers from around the world. 🚲🌊
