Vancouver Island Tours with Dave hutchison
Welcome to my Adventure Photo Tours on Vancouver Island. I have been a professional photographer based on Vancouver Island for over 16 years. I offer private customized tours for photographers and tourists alike that want to explore & create in the difficult to find locations on Vancouver Island. The service includes myself, my Acura MDX SUV, and bottled water (meals are included with full day trips). I also have a built in fridge in the SUV to make your experience more enjoyable (cold water on hot days!). Pick up and drop off at the Victoria International Airport or BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay (Sidney / North Saanich) is also available on request.
Adventure Photo Tours are offered on a full day and half basis with multiple days being accepted now. Second person travelling on the same trip is half price. Note, mileage is additional and billed separately and varies depending on where we travel on the Island and current price of fuel. Vancouver Island can take around 8 hours to drive from top to bottom … and that is one way! Additonally, I am ICBC insured and licensed to transport people for adventure tours. My vehicle is also ICBC safety inspected every 6 months.
Any questions, please send a message. I am happy to answer your questions.
SPECIAL – Free meal for each customer when booking full day Adventure Photo Tours on Vancouver Island (each day booked).
All tours include an optional pickup at the Victoria International Airport or BC Ferries Swartz Bay Terminal.
