Vancouver Island's been a blast and we only scratched the surface! The only thing that would have made it better is if Olive could have finished the road trip with us. 🫒😅 Huge thanks to Airalo for helping us not get stranded, though!

So glad you guys made it here. I have the privilege to live on Vancouver Island and have lived here most of my life growing up and Qualicum Beach right on the ocean was an amazing childhood left and went to a few other places in Canada, but always returned home to the island man. Some days we wish we could put up about the gate on the ferry and not let Moor in, but alas, we can. So we welcome all the tourists that come here with open arms and allow you to enjoy the pristine beauty that we call Vancouver Island. I had the honour of working in Tofino and Uclueletfor two years living in God‘s country a lot of people would call it. Because there isn’t anything more beautiful in nature as we have on this island . So glad. You got here to see it.
The two of you have structured such an incredible life. At the heart is your symbiotic relationship. The way you work together and respect each other is so rare. It doesn’t hurt that you are both such talented hard workers. I am living vicariously through you, so keep doing exciting adventures. I can’t wait to see your new home! It’s so smart to take a break to a cooler place. You are doing life right!!
Being from the Pacific Northwest, I feel kind of bad that your past few adventures have had some difficulties and disappointments. But, as you said, it is truly such a beautiful part of the world. I think you deserve a nice relaxing stay somewhere comfortable and beautiful, where everything works 😊.
@@Mel.H_ you kind of do.. they'll buy or rent something vintage that will breakdown, or a house that is falling apart hahah, I still love watching tho...on auto play all night lol
Just found you guys today and im so hooked on your videos. The way you film and best part to me is your sense of humor even when you've had van trouble or saw your bumper falling off in another video. "zip ties" . I will be continuing to indulge in your videos all day today.
I see A lot people on here also live on the Island. And after living here awhile most of us don't go on the ferries unless we have to but glad to see you enjoyed your time here it is a magical place.Also those are Douglas firs and spruce trees, pine don't grow here that well.But please come back again there's a lifetime of things to do here
So happy you guys got out to the island! I'm from Campbell River so i know all those sites well. I've been watching you for a couple years now, so it was pretty cool to see you make it up here! Thanks for showcasing this beautiful island so well. You guys are awesome!
What an amazing hometown! We'd love to come back in one of our vehicles so we can explore more up north and have some off-road adventures. A week was definitely not enough time there!
You guys still have a great attitude and don't complain too much when things go wrong. Some people would never shut up if their hire vehicle broke down...
Wow... I mean wow... Also, your photography is so good, especially the drone stuff. Been a fan of this channel for 6 years. it might actually be my first ever subscription, way back when... Anyway good stuff, keep on adventuring!😂
Thank you so much!! So happy we've gotten to adventure all over this world with you! And we love having the drone with us...we're equally as blown away by what it captures as you are 😍
So much water! It was wild how much the vibe on the island changed in just one morning. But we were pretty happy to get to experience it in so many different ways ☀️🌧
Thanks guys, love the channel, Vancouver Island is amazing, I live in Forks Washington State across the water from Vancouver Island. We are home to twilight and vampires, werewolf, and Sasquatches, so you need to come to Forks, WA. Plus hikes and the Ocean. Cheers🍷🍷🍩🍩🤠
I think you guys should explore all of Canada and everything amazing it has to offer. I just moved from Ottawa to Central Florida. Im Canadian and wifes American and our next Canadian trip we are going to Niagara Falls and of course driving to Ottawa to vistit my family. ( Doing it in the winter so we can skate on the Rideau( Ree-dough) canal.). Love your videos and you guys are amazing.
I love your second van Goldie. It looks like the one my parents had in the 80's. They traveled across Europe in it, then brought it home to the US. And took many trips long and short across the mainland. It was very dependable for 20 years before they started having problems and sold it.
Husband and I went on a whale watching tour in Nova Scotia, and the made us put on the exact same suits! The pose you made is the same pose my husband made in his suit. Made me LOL!
That's awesome you guys were able to come here! I live in Nanaimo on Vancouverisland my whole life. I have been to every spot on the island! I love going on day trips up and down the island. Glad you guys had a great time!
We had a 1983 VW Westphalia camper similar to Goldie that we drove from England to Rome and back, all over Korea, then California to Colorado. It had the first generation water cooled engine that eventually had so many coolant problems we sold it. But lots of great family memories traveling in that van.
Love it that you are doing my favorite place on earth in my favorite kind of camper! It's making me think I need to plan another trip out to Tofino/Ukluelet soon. Two of us spent a whole month circumnavigating the entire province of BC in 2005 in a VW of the same vintage as Goldie. Except for the mosquitos up north, it was the best vacation ever. And by the way, postal delivery workers are called posties here in Canada. Gets us around the gender issues more gracefully.
There is nothing like traveling in a VW Westy . . . we are a community, for sure, and always there to lend a helping hand to fellow Westy travelers in need :)
Common guys! As a seasoned vw camper and lots of other vans over the years traveler . Here’s a tip. Make your bed up and store the things you need to keep safe in the bed area, before you go out and dooooowhateverrrrr 😂 then everything else you store in the front cab 🤷♀️ simples. If you don’t have screen covers, just use a bed sheet, saris, or whatever you got to tuck under the visors in the cab, stretch them around and secure in the doors if you need to hide stuff. You can improvise with anything 🤗😁
On the first couple of seasons of "Alone," a survivor series was filmed on Vancouver Island, the contestants were struggling to find food and dry wood.. It was raining too much.
Hello Allison and Eric. I have family out in BC and wish I had kept in touch watching this from UK. Mind you, I did catch someone on rollerblades who was headed of a bit of a cliff in Stanley Park, when I had come half way round the world. It felt like something from Quantum Leap, but fortunately this Al was no hologram.

You should make your way to Haida Gwaii. You can catch the ferry from Port Hardy. It is quiet here now :) room to stay.
Victoria was my stompin grounds as a kid . We'd take the ferry from Seattle and make a whole day trip . I loved that. ❤🎉

TLC ma'am. They were Waterfalls. Destiny's Child wanted you to pay their bills 😉
Facts
I was like...wait a minute? That's not Destiny Child! Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls is definitely TLC.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I can't believe neither of us caught that! Such a millennial fail moment! Sorry TLC!!!!
Even their automobills
Shout out to whoever creates the graphics. I always smile when they mix them up for each episode. And this one gave us two!!
The second “roll credits” made me laugh out loud.
Agree. New graphic made me laugh
You're in a van on VAN-couver island - how fitting! 😂
I’m actually surprised they didn’t state that. Nice.
🤣🤣
It wouldn't be an Endless Adventure road trip without a breakdown
I cant be the only one who appreciates the effort put into your intro changing depending on the vehicle youre in, lol! So cute!

Watching your videos is like a box of chocolates. You’re sweet but you never know what you’re going to get. Love you guys.❤️Blessings🙏
😂so true
@@Mel.H_ you kind of do.. they'll buy or rent something vintage that will breakdown, or a house that is falling apart hahah, I still love watching tho...on auto play all night lol
cute and true
am I the only one who is obsessed with the into and the dedication it takes to change the car and scenic views .
Absolutely. It’s actually something I look forward to everytime the main location changes. Pretty iconic for the channel!
Literally just said the same. ❤
I'm sure they outsource it!

24:04 I think that is TLC's advice about waterfalls. Not Destiny Child's. 😅
I see A lot people on here also live on the Island.

Huh, how do you get to the mainland without a ferry, are there bridges? Or do you just never leave lol
the re-intro is amazing!😂
Loving this Endless Adventure. Can't wait to see where you are heading to next. Just enjoy watching you both so much.
I Love it! The postal flight was amazing!
I call Nanaimo home and I try not to take what we have here on van island for granted. It's so beautiful here.
So happy you guys got out to the island! I'm from Campbell River so i know all those sites well. I've been watching you for a couple years now, so it was pretty cool to see you make it up here! Thanks for showcasing this beautiful island so well. You guys are awesome!

Stunning scenery and enjoyed your video. Always check your oil and coolant etc fortnightly. The mail plane was so good.
My brother used to live on Lasqueti island. Vancouver is amazing!
You were total adventurers today thanks for the entertainment
Yes you two are fantastic either travel or renovations. ❤
That cold rain just gave me the chills. I’m from northern Ontario so I know what miserable cold weather is like.
Wow... I mean wow...
Also, your photography is so good, especially the drone stuff. Been a fan of this channel for 6 years. it might actually be my first ever subscription, way back when...
Anyway good stuff, keep on adventuring!😂
Thank you so much!! So happy we've gotten to adventure all over this world with you! And we love having the drone with us...we're equally as blown away by what it captures as you are 😍
Flying over Vancouver. This truly is an endless adventure.
What a fantastic opening shot - you guys are awesome!

💃🕺
Thanks for another fun video. You two are great
Welcome to our beautiful Island! Enjoy 🙏
Welcome to our backyard! Love the island, enjoy beautiful BC, Canada. Love your videos! Cheers Chris and JIm
I was there when the “atmospheric river” hit too. That was a LOT of water.
So much water! It was wild how much the vibe on the island changed in just one morning. But we were pretty happy to get to experience it in so many different ways ☀️🌧
I love the cool retro style music you guys always seem to find
I can't watch those airline travel videos, but watching ya'll is so much fun!😘
I LOVE Canada and that whole region is really cool. We saw wild orca! I want to go back and discover more
If you come back you will have to come here to Sooke on the south side of the Island and see our amazing beaches and Whiffin Spit!!!
We definitely need to come back! We'd love to do a week of just island-hopping. It sounds like there are countless beautiful islands to visit 😍
@ 100% we have a lot to see here!! You could spend weeks trying to jump from Island to Island or just staying on. Vancouver Island.
have been as far from victoria to naniamo, took via rail to naniamo many years ago. beautiful island
Thanks guys, love the channel, Vancouver Island is amazing, I live in Forks Washington State across the water from Vancouver Island. We are home to twilight and vampires, werewolf, and Sasquatches, so you need to come to Forks, WA. Plus hikes and the Ocean. Cheers🍷🍷🍩🍩🤠

Just love you intro,...love it whenever you are driving a new vehicle you change it that vehicle JUST LOVE IT! Love the retro vibe! 😍
Elk Falls is epic. Glad you are enjoying the beautiful landscape of western Canada. Welcome

Im Canadian and wifes American and our next Canadian trip we are going to Niagara Falls and of course driving to Ottawa to vistit my family. ( Doing it in the winter so we can skate on the Rideau( Ree-dough) canal.). Love your videos and you guys are amazing.

The island was awesome. I had a Volkswagen van few years older than Olive it was orange and white they are awesome.
Vancouver Island is beautiful I love going there
Haida Gwai is where you should go , dont miss out , Safe trip eh !
I love your second van Goldie. It looks like the one my parents had in the 80's. They traveled across Europe in it, then brought it home to the US. And took many trips long and short across the mainland. It was very dependable for 20 years before they started having problems and sold it.
How cool! We love how many adventures these little vans have taken people on! So glad your parents' was reliable for so long 🙌
Seeing whales in the wild has been a highlight of my life - and it happened there!
Wow !! So picturesque!!! You both have shot the nature so beautifully ❤❤❤ stunning drone shots too !!! 😍

Looking forward to your next Adventures have a Good weekend 🥰

Pretty jealous you have access to all that beauty and nature 24/7! It was such a magical island 🙌
Very BEAUTIFUL and the seafood looked delicious. Best looking food i have seen on your channel in awhile ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
Wow that postman has the best job
I definitely want to check out Vancouver Island with my Jeep and off road/off grid trailer
Some awesomeness! BTW, a group of dolphins is called a 'Pod'...Keep the adventure rolling! :)
Love the intro change lol... wow beautiful place.
That food looks so delicious
If you love Vancouver island you HAVE to do Newfoundland. It is mesmerizing and the most beautiful place with the absolute nicest people in the world.
We keep trying to get out there, but haven't made it yet. Hopefully in 2025. We hear nothing but great things!
🙂💙👍Welcome To Canada Eric & Alison Another Awesome Adventure 🙂💙👍Hope You Guys come to the East Coast of Canada it is Beautiful You will Love it🙂💙👍
I celebrated my birthday on Wednesday.
Turned 45.
A great day indeed.☺️
Happy Birthday! Glad to hear it was a good one.
Happy belated!! 🎂
You two have been everywhere, except Africa on safari! Love watching, you're the best on TH-cam.
Truth! We had it on the agenda for 2020, but obviously that didn't work out. But we'll get to Africa soon enough, don't worry! And thank you!! 🥰
That part of the country is so beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!
We had a 1983 VW Westphalia camper similar to Goldie that we drove from England to Rome and back, all over Korea, then California to Colorado. It had the first generation water cooled engine that eventually had so many coolant problems we sold it. But lots of great family memories traveling in that van.
Bummer it ended up crapping out, but sounds like it took you all on so many great adventures!!
Hopefully you guys will plan a trip to Italy once the Travel Beans finish with their renovations.
Another fun adventure! Loved the dolphins and the beautiful surroundings. Looking forward to your next stop!❤️
Beautiful scenery, excellent guys 👍 Have fun , stay safe and thank you for sharing 👍👍❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thank you both for these amazing adventures.
Love it that you are doing my favorite place on earth in my favorite kind of camper! It's making me think I need to plan another trip out to Tofino/Ukluelet soon.

So glad you love our island. If your here for a bit more. Would love to meet for coffee or check out our airbnb
Vancouver island is very nice....🙂☺😑
Awesome adventures on Vancouver Island and 2 RV's 😊😊
There is nothing like traveling in a VW Westy . . . we are a community, for sure, and always there to lend a helping hand to fellow Westy travelers in need :)
of course you broke down 😂that is so TEA! i'm glad it didn't spoil the adventure for you guys.
Another great video, thankyou for showing us some really great scenery.
Nice video. Mail by plane was my favorite part.

I like your videos so much I usually watch them twice.
I always find your videos so comforting ❤
🫶CRAZY Beautiful there! Thanks guys 😻
A Vanagon is such a good vehicle for those epic views!
Thank you for this video . I'm so glad you are doing this while you can. I am to old 2 knee replacements , so can't do what I wish would've earlier.
Thank you for sharing another awesome video! I just did a “mail run” ride along yesterday in a DHC-2 Beaver, here in Kodiak, Alaska!
Oh cool!!! We'll have to add that one to list for next time we're in Alaska!
On the first couple of seasons of "Alone," a survivor series was filmed on Vancouver Island, the contestants were struggling to find food and dry wood.. It was raining too much.
All the vlogs I have watched it looks wet. We were lucky and had nothing but sunshine when we were there in July 🙂
Hello Allison and Eric. I have family out in BC and wish I had kept in touch watching this from UK. Mind you, I did catch someone on rollerblades who was headed of a bit of a cliff in Stanley Park, when I had come half way round the world.

TLC's "Chasing Waterfalls" lol not Destiny's Child. I love watching your content. Thanks for sharing and safe travels!
The cold in BC is damp cold, goes right through u than dry cold, the rain can drive u nuts, I survived after living there 15 years.
It's crazy how much colder 50s with rain can feel than 30s with sun. Glad you survived all that cold 😂
You guys need to visit Banff and Canmore BC as well as Calgary.
Ouch on the TLC thing. There goes your 90's street cred.
You guys have the best video shots than anyone on TH-cam
Awesome views and loved the video ❤
