HAPPYHOLIDAYS MOTORHOME
RV Rental, Sales and Service |
 Freedom Tours is a web site that was set up to provideadvice on Motorhome holidaysin British Columbia.
After taking a motorhome holiday ourselves,
we were so impressed that we decided
to set up a contact and recommendation point
for potential visitors to Canada.
The company we used was Happy Holidays.
It is because of the service and value we received from them
that Freedom Tours decided to act as a reference for them.
 Ich hatte die Gelegenheit dieses Land besuchen zu können und bin froh es getan zu haben.
Es war für mich immer ein Traum einmal in meinem Leben Kanda zu besuchen.
Ich habe wirklich einen Koffer da gelassen, um wieder zurück kommen zu können. Ich habe
dieses Land von seiner schönen Seite mit der unberührten Natur kennengelernt
und beschlossen, als Referenz für Happy Holiday zu wirken. Read more.... |
På denne hjemmeside kan du se billedår fra Peders og min fisketur til Canada, nærmere betegnet British Columbia.
Som det fremgår af dagbogen var vi aæsted i 14 dage. I disse 14 dage boede vi i et Moterhome
som vi havde lejet af Kurt & Gisela Schulz i Gibsons.
Fiske udstyr år meget billigt i Canada i forhold til Danmark. Jeg købte for eksempel en Sage fluestang i klasse 4,
normalpris i Danmark år ca. 3.800, kr. I Canada kostedå den 1.800, kr.
Du vil på de næste par sidår kunne læse min dagbog fra turen. Du kan desuden undår billeder, se alle mine billedår
fra turen. Det år desværre ikke alle billederne som år blevet lige gode men jeg håbår at du kan nydå dem alligevel :-)

 In de zomer van 2003 hebben wij een maand door British Columbia & Washington Sate gereisd.
In de voorbereiding op deze reis ontdekten we dat het een hele klus is om alle informatie bijeen te krijgen voor deze reis. De informatie de we hebben willen we graag met anderen delen. Veel plezier op onze site. Ingeborg en Harm Kersten. De kleine donder in de rugdrager is onze zoon Stijn. Read more...

 Hi Kurt & Birgit
We are now safely back home after our splendid holiday in Canada
with very fond memories of our time in the motorhome - we will definitely be returning next year. Kind regards
Barry & Helen |
 Hallo Birgit, hallo Gisela, hallo Kurt,
viele liebe Grüße aus Germany. Wir hoffen, es geht Euch Allen gut. Bei uns ist der Alltag eingekehrt und wir sind schon fast wieder urlaubsreif. Vor zwei Wochen war in der Samstagsausgabe unserer Zeitung (Rheinische Post, Düsseldorf) der Moraine Lake abgebildet und beschrieben. Da bekamen wir gleich wieder Sehnsucht nach Kanada. Wir wünschen Euch alles Gute und grüßt bitte das schöne Kanada von uns.

The Rockies by Brian Hodgson, UK
It had always been a dream of ours to one day travel to the Canadian Rockies. One of those trips you always plan to do if you can ever afford it. Our son decided that he would help us realize our dream, and arranged for us to fly to Vancouver with two weeks motor home hire thrown in as well. All we had to do was say when we would like to go. Wow! After the shock had worn off (some days later) we set about planning our trip. On the basis that we would probably never get the chance to go again we decided to add our normal two weeks holiday to the trip making four weeks in all. Work out the time difference, phone the hire company in Vancouver, and find out if it would be possible to extend the hire. Happy Holidays is a family run business situated in a town called Gibsons just north of Vancouver. Kurt & Gisela Schultz, the owners could not have been more helpful and a date was agreed subject to available flights, for a months hire of a C class motor home.
The hire includes being met at the airport and taxi to Horshoe Bay Vancouver where you board a ferry to Langdale and are met at the ferry terminal and driven to Happy Holidays premises. An overnight stay at either Gibsons or at Langdale Heights Campground (close by) and eventual return to the Airport at the end of your holiday. After a fairly long flight it is nice to know that everything is organised for your arrival.
We arrived in Vancouver at around 7pm and were met as promised by a contract taxi driver and set off for the ferry. Vancouver like London is a big city with lots of traffic and it took about half an hour to get to the ferry terminal where we boarded the Langdale ferry. The trip across takes about 30 minutes but Canada’s wonderful scenery is there from the word go. We were met by Kurt and once our cases were loaded into his car driven the short distance to their home from which they run” Happy Holidays“.
Gibsons which is on what is called the Sunshine Coast is well worth a visit with a marina and good eating places and shops. The Schultz residence is on a wooded hillside overlooking Howe sound with gorgeous views across the sound and islands. The town of Gibsons is divided into Upper Gibsons which has shops supermarkets and outlets and where you would do your normal shopping. Lower Gibsons has a holiday atmosphere with bars and restaurants and a marina gift shops etc. and would be a good place for a family holiday, with views across Howe sound. There are some great beaches in the area. All within easy reach. |
We had arranged to rent an apartment on the Schultz property for a couple of days break before we headed into the Rockies. This gave us time to recover from the flight and adjust to the time difference. The apartment was clean and very well appointed. Overlooking the sound, the views were exceptional with humming birds flying by collecting sugared water from bird feeder, for two weary travellers a well needed break before setting off on our trip. I would recommend that anyone flying from the UK to hire a vehicle in North America take a day or two to relax before driving. This is particularly true when the vehicle is an RV. The tour of the vehicle on the day of departure is quite lengthy and there is a lot of information given to ensure a happy trouble free and successful holiday.
The tour of the vehicle was an eye opener; the vehicle was about three years old and absolutely spotless. When I looked under the hood (bonnet) it looked like a new vehicle and inside was as good. It is worth mentioning that with any hire you should check the vehicle for outside damage and point out to the company any defects otherwise you could be held liable for the damage on your return. No problem here though the vehicle was unmarked and very clean all systems working ok.
Travel around British Columbia will involve quite a lot of car ferries it is well worth purchasing a round trip ticket from BC ferries it saves a great deal of hassle and is much cheaper than single tickets. Some highways only continue on through the use of the excellent ferry service and in some cases it can save miles of road travel. Although fuel costs are roughly the same in cents per litre as we pay in pence. Making fuel half the cost of UK prices, the mileage saved where it is possible to drive around, saves valuable time to see as much of the scenery and wild life as you can. |

Liebe Gisela und Kurt, Jetzt ist unsere Woche an der Sunshine Coast schon wieder vorbei und wir muessen uns von Euch,
wo wir Euch doch gerade erst kennengelernt haben - wieder verabschieden.

Da war z.B. der “Pick Up Service” vom Bus Depot, Kurt’s zahlreiche Tips, u.v.m. Fuer uns war das alles nicht selbstverstaendlich und wir haben es genossen Eure Gaeste zu sein und freuen uns darauf, wenn wir wieder kommen duerfen. Vielen Dank fuer alles! Joerg & Barbara Lieber Kurt, Zurueck nach Deutschland traeumen wir mmer noch von einem wunderschoenen Urlaub, der nicht nur duech
herrliches Wetter und wunderschoene Landschaften so unbeschwert war, sondern auch durch ein Wohnmobil, in dem wir uns wohlgefuehlt haben und das uns in keiner Weise im Stich gelassen hat. Dafuer ein liebes Danke Schoen. Sollte es uns wieder in die Gegend fuehren, warden wir gerne wieder bei Euch mieten.
Unser Traum ist immer noch ein Womo zu kaufen – und wenn dann nur von Euch. Liebe Gruesse Rainer & Hildburg W. |
Dear Birgit!
Thanks for all this.
We were very pleased with our Canadian motorhome experience, the gorgeous sceneries and the kindness
of the people we met. And, of course, we won't hesitate to tell good words about your company to our friends, should they also want to explore BC. All the best from Brussels and kind regards,
Philippe
Hi Birgit and everyone at Happy Holidays,
Life seems just a little flat without our Canada holiday to look forward to and enjoy. But on the bright
side, we are already talking about what we are going to do when we return! We really did have a fantastic time and have been extolling the beauty of BC to everyone we meet. Many thanks and best wishes to everyone,
Jayne and Mike Dear Birgit,
Have just returned from our long vacation and wanted to thank Happy Holidays and you in particular,
for the faultless arrangements you made. Everything fell into place, taxis, hotels and the fabulous appartment in Vancouver - so comfortable, central and convenient. You, Birgit, were very patient and kind with our queries and as a result we had a superb holiday.
Again our heartfelt thanks and we would not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends.
Kindest regards,
Rosemary and John
Dear Birgit,
It was lovely to meet you last week. We are gradually getting over the jet lag and had no problems with the flights thank goodness. All four of us enjoyed our time in Canada and have many happy stories to tell our friends, and of course it was wonderful
to spend time with the family. Looking forward to seeing you again, we will most definately be returning again. Take care for now, and all best regards.
Carol.
Hallo Birgit, Hallo Kurt,
wir sind gut zu Hause angekommen. Mit der Fahrt vom Anleger zum Flughafen im Großraumtaxi bekamen wir nochmal eine schöne
Stadtrundfahrt durch Vancouver geboten. Der Rest der Reise verlief ebenfalls ruhig. Im Moment plagt uns noch etwas der Jet-lag und wir verarbeiten erst das Erlebte. Für die gute Organisation bedanken wir uns ausdrücklich - wir werden Euch bei Gelegenheit weiterempfehlen !! Viele Grüße aus " good old Germany "

Hi Birgit
Thank you so much for that. We are back at work and our wonderful holiday seems so long ago.
You have all been so helpful that we are very happy to recommend Happy Holidays to anyone travelling your way.
Best wishes
Linda and Stephen
Hallo Birgit, danke für dein Schreiben. Wir haben uns bei Euch sehr gut betreut gefühlt und werden Euch gerne weiter empfehlen. Es hat alles bestens geklappt. Wir hoffen, dass wir wieder einmal in Euer schönes Land kommen können und werden uns dann sicher wieder mit Euch in Verbindung setzen. Mit besten Grüßen aus Graz, auch an Kurt und Gattin, Josef ,Caecilia und Elisa Dear Birgit, Many thanks for all you did to make our stay in British Colombia so memorable. WE are currently going down the pacific coast in a cruise america rv which is nice but no where near as well catered for as your RV's. We would not fail to reccomend you to anybody who asked who we hired from. The service and advice we recieved from your company has stood us in good stead for future RV holidays. Once again many thanks
