ABOUT ROVIN BOUTIQUE TOURS Saanich Peninsula, Vancouver Island

ROVIN was created to invite you beyond the surface of the Saanich Peninsula—into the rhythm, beauty, and quiet magic that only locals truly know. This is not a tour. It’s a curated experience of place, story, and connection.

Founded by Shai Thompson, a fourth-generation local with deep roots in the community, ROVIN is shaped by a lifetime of lived experience. Generations of connection, knowledge, and appreciation for this land in every detail—this isn’t scripted, it’s personal.

Shai is also the owner of House of Lily Koi, a luxury consignment boutique she has led for over 15 years, and a professional wardrobe stylist working with both private clients and corporate teams. Her background is extensive—grounded in curating wardrobes with intention and educating others to present themselves at their highest potential.

Her eye is discerning. Her approach is intuitive. Her depth of knowledge—spanning fabric, fit, proportion, and personal expression—is sought after by those who understand that style is more than clothing; it’s the presence of confidence in the clothes you love to wear.

Known for an uncompromising standard of service, Shai’s attention to detail has built a loyal following within the community. Every ROVIN experience carries that same signature—thoughtful, elevated, and deeply considered.

The Saanich Peninsula is our playground. A place where coastal forests meet vineyard rows, where ocean air carries stories, and where every turn reveals nature’s pageantry—wild, refined, and endlessly inspiring. From tucked-away boutiques and local makers to scenic coastal drives and ferry crossings, we share not only where to go… but why it matters.

ROVIN is rooted in the belief that travel should feel effortless, intimate, and deeply enriching. Our boutique tours are intentionally small, allowing space for connection, discovery, and a level of attention that transforms a simple outing into something unforgettable.
