This episode has three locations.
1.  Algae Planet
Private land in Kamloops

Travel Tips: Unfortunately all of the locations in Kamloops are on private land. The Algae Planet is part of The Hoodoos, an amazing rock formation that is on T'kemlups Indian Land. The drive is amazingly scenic (particularly the mountain pass) and the city itself is large, but beautiful. I could retire here. :) To see more Algae Planet rock formations, see the 'Eye of Jupiter.'


2.  Temple of Five
Vancouver Wharves, North Vancouver. Public access is highly restricted for security reasons.

Travel Tips: This site on the waterfront was also used for parts of Ragnar Station from the Miniseries. Not accessible to the public.

Travel Tips: Appearing in numerous episodes, The Opera House is an amazing spot to visit. In July and August, The Orpheum Theatre provides public tours that cost about $10 each. The tour is two hours long and you get to explore the Orpheum from basement to attic! An article about tours in 2011: Orpheum Tours. For a more complete look at the Opera House, see the Crossroads entries.

This episode has four locations
1.  Earth 2.0
Private land in Kamloops.  

We were so fortunate to have the opportunity to visit Earth 2.0 in 2011. It was much drier in May (it had been a slow, cold spring in Canada as well), but we were able to identify many of the locations. Everything was filmed quite close together to save the time and expense of moving cameras and equipment. 

Our guide kindly left us out on the site, and we spent more than an hour just taking in where we were (and having a small picnic). I can't describe the feeling of being where the show ended--it was very emotional for us.

We took a second trip in June 2012, and found many things we had missed! New locations found for Daybreak include Adama and Roslin's camp, the place the natives were sighted, and the spot where Starbuck disappears!
