Three main chapters with a departure buffer; no automatic safari, whale sighting or scenic-train ticket.

Actual drive times/road access must be checked before quoting each dated route. Longer transfers intentionally take whole days here, with no timed attraction promise. The coast must suit your travel month; move/adjust it if conditions require. Train seats, wildlife encounters and calm seas are never guaranteed.
