ESL - Cultural Travel Excursions

For ESL students studying in British Columbia, a weekend jaunt or a week-long trip to Vancouver Island is a must-do trip. The city of Nanaimo is a small, quaint and friendly seaside city – which welcomes international visitors from around the world. It is a great place to practice newly learning English language skills, and you will leave with memories for a lifetime.

The Painted Turtle Guesthouse offers affordable, safe and centralized accommodation with a reputation for hosting international travel groups.

Our large communal living area with fireplace, lounge and games area is the perfect place to unwind after a long day of lectures and school excursions. Our free use, well-equipped open plan kitchen is perfect for budget conscious weekend breaks – allowing you to take in the city without incurring the high cost of restaurant meals and fast food. Meet like-minded youth from all over the globe and share your own experiences with others.

You may arrive as a guest but you will surely leave as a friend!
