Begin your journey in Portland, enjoying the AC Hotel foodie tour, Pearl District to Nob Hill walk, Washington Park roses, and waterfalls from Crown Point Vista to Multnomah. Drive on to Port Angeles with a stay at Kalaloch Lodge, visit the Hoh Rainforest, Sol Duc Falls, and Washington Lavender Farm. Ferry across to Victoria for Butchart Gardens, Hatley Castle, and a walk along the Inner Harbor. Wrap up in Vancouver with a city tour, Furry Creek Golf stop, and stay at the Sheraton Wall Centre.
This journey began as a family escape to the Pacific Northwest — a region we had always dreamed of exploring together. From the creative corners of Portland to the serene shores of Port Angeles, every stop promised a different kind of magic. As we crossed borders and waters into Victoria and Vancouver, it wasn’t just about new places, but about the memories we were weaving as a family.
Our time in Portland felt like a breath of fresh air — a perfect balance between creativity and nature. The city had a laid-back charm, with a culture that encourages self-expression and sustainability. It was easy to get drawn into the rhythm of local life. Every corner felt thoughtful, alive, and unmistakably Portland.
Port Angeles welcomed us with its quiet coastal beauty and small-town warmth. There was something grounding about being surrounded by mountains and sea. Life moved at a slower pace here, inviting us to pause and soak it all in. It felt like the kind of place where nature leads the way.
Arriving in Victoria was like stepping into a storybook, with charm and grace in every detail. The city carried an old-world elegance blended with coastal calm. We found ourselves easing into its gentle pace and inviting atmosphere. Everything about it felt peaceful and refreshingly timeless.
Vancouver buzzed with a vibrant, multicultural energy that instantly drew us in. It’s a city that feels alive — dynamic, diverse, and always in motion. Yet it somehow keeps serenity within reach. The blend of city life and natural beauty created a rhythm we quickly fell in love with.
Looking back, the journey left us with more than scenic views and charming streets — it gave us time, togetherness, and a deeper appreciation for the quiet joys of travel. Each city had its own spirit, but what stayed constant was the feeling of discovery, both around us and within. We returned home with hearts full, already dreaming of where the next road might take us.
