  • Vancouver Island Overland Rental Customer

    What an Incredible Experience The route took us through some of the most beautiful and remote parts of North Vancouver Island. Every day was something new, hiking through lush coastal forests, paddle boarding on crystal clear waters, caves, and endless waterfalls. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable no matter their experience level. They struck the perfect balance between structured activities and downtime, so we could relax and take it all in. I rented an FJ Cruiser from them that came fully loaded with a rooftop tent and all the gear, it made the trip so stress free for myself. Thank you Western Red Adventures. This was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat

  • Customer on Guided Tour with Overland Rental on Vancouver Island

    I just got back from an 8-day overlanding expedition with Western Red Adventures, and it was nothing short of incredible! From start to finish, the experience was top-tier. The team was super accommodating, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the journey. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking — every day brought new views and landscapes that were more stunning than the last. The environment was friendly, welcoming, and full of good vibes, making it easy to connect with others and fully enjoy the adventure. If you're considering an overlanding trip, I can't recommend Western Red Adventures enough. They go above and beyond to make it the best experience possible. I'll definitely be back for another expedition!

    We went on an amazing 10 day trip with Western Red and there is simply no other way to see every side of Vancouver Island in that time. And we were able to relax and enjoy everything in between! Since I have never been 4x4 camping before I had concerns and even when we had an issue where we had to pull over Zach and Brennan helped us get back on the road in no time. By far the most fun, safe, and exciting adventure I have had on Island.

  • A young woman sitting on the door frame of a purple off-road vehicle, smiling and wearing sunglasses, a navy blue T-shirt, shorts, and sandals, with a man holding the roof rack from outside the vehicle. The vehicle appears to be in a rustic outdoor setting.

    Had an incredible 8 day adventure with Western Red Adventures! They took us to hidden gems we’d never find on our own - serene lakes to paddle on, cliff jumping waterfalls, caves to explore, and stunning ocean side camping spots! The guides were knowledgeable, patient and safety focused while still keeping it adventurous and fun! Would highly recommend to adventure lovers!

  • Rented the FJ for this weekend and firstly, it’s a beast. The drive is super smooth, almost like floating on a cloud, but also capable at handling any terrain you throw its way. This weekend really showed us what camping on Vancouver Island in the winter was like but the FJ kept us mostly dry with the awning and the roof top tent. Although no fault to the FJ since getting wet was inevitable with the torrential downpour we received. The rooftop tent was fairly easy and straightforward to set up (would be easier if you’re taller than 5’) and the bed is massive and definitely comfier than sleeping in the back of my Subaru. Zack with Western Red Adventures was easy to deal with, informative and patient with every question I threw his way. All in all, it was a great trip and I will for sure be renting again.
