5Izzy was exactly the van we needed: equipped with all the essential comforts for traveling, without unnecessary frills or gadgets, perfect for those who love the outdoors and life on the road. We had an amazing time with it — it’s easy to drive and takes you everywhere. Communication with Cyrus was always quick and straightforward.

5Incredible Trip! Vintage camper-van in incredible condition, has everything you would need for an adventure around the island. Came fully equip with all cutlery, pots and pans, plates and dishes to cook and eat out of the van, or cook outside on the included table. Stick the fridge and cooler and you are all set for your big trip. Got us to everywhere we needed, and with a pop of the roof you were set up and home as soon as you arrived at site. Enjoy the best views right outside your bed with the back door popped. Cyrus was quick to respond to all my messages before our trip and the same throughout our travels. Handover was quick and easy. We loved our adventure and are already planning our next. Make sure to check out surfgrove campgrounds and Tacofino if you are up in Tofino.
