Enjoy Vancouver Island’s natural beauty from our cozy camper van. Perfect for a couple looking to spend some time on the sea side, in the woods among the cedars and mountains or by a campfire under the stars. Our van is the longest and tallest Ford Transit in production, so you won’t have to worry about ever crouching down or feeling cramped for space. It very comfortably sleeps two people or one person who likes a little extra room to stretch their legs.The van is equipped with a fridge, full running water, as well as amenities to cook both indoors or out in the fresh air. We have multiple power options with solar panels charging our in house batteries as well as the option to plug the van into shore power at many of the island’s campgrounds. We also have an optional propane based fire pit and fresh tank if you are looking to huddle up under the night sky!We hope to share with you some truly memorable experiences as we have had on this island that we love.Happy Adventuring!What's includedThe van will have fresh sheets, a duvet and plenty of pillows for a comfy sleep. We also have both electric and butane burners/grills as well as a pot and pan for both indoor and outdoor cooking. All basic cooking and eating utensils along with plates, bowls, glasses and mugs are present. And of course we have an electric kettle and French press for all of us who need a little caffeine in the morning or a tea before bed!RecommendationsThe island is rich with a broad spectrum of campsites, beaches and hikes that each offer very different experiences. Whether you want to surf in Tofino, fish at Campbell River, ski at Mount Washington or treat yourself to a spa day in Victoria, there’s really no end to the variety of things to do. If you have any questions about recommendations throughout the island, please just ask and we’ll be happy to share whatever knowledge we have as well as our favourite places to camp!Other things to noteNo smoking

We had a a brilliant experience with Reiner - he was super responsive, took the time to explain the van to us at collection which he very kindly fitted in around our ferries and was an all round superstar. Awesome trip, very grateful & would highly recommend!

The trip and van was amazing. It was the perfect setup and size, the bed was nice and cosy for sleeping, with lots of nice touches.

Reiner made my time on Vancouver island go seamlessly. From great communication pre arrival, great recommendations for whilst on the Island, to dropping me back to the ferry at the end of my trip - so easy to deal with. The van itself was clean and matched the listing exactly. The van was the perfect home away from home and with its solar panel and generator spending time in those remote locations was all the easier. Overall the van was super clean, spacious and homely. Definitely would book again!

Our experience renting the van from Reiner was above and beyond in all areas- from communication, friendliness, cleanliness, van mechanical, and everything in between.

For our first experience of « van Life », we were not disappointed. The Island Explorer Van had all the needed equipments for our 6 days trip. The bed was very confortable and we really felt home while travelling.
Reiner was very kind and helpfull. Before our departure, he took the time to explain all what we needed to know. And after our return, he kindly accepted to ship us home a forgotten item.
If we go back to Vancouver Island one day, we would not want another van.

It was a very nice experience with the RV as well as the host. Everything went so well: communication was smooth, recommendations as for the campgrounds were helpful, we enjoyed travelling around the Vancouver island in this van. It is equipped in everything that is needed. Thank you for making out holidays so beautiful !
