Home to British Columbia’s historic capital, ancient rainforests, and hippie surf towns, the island is dotted with eclectic communities begging to be explored, though you'll want to rent a car for this adventure. Stop by Victoria on your way past, if you ask nicely, we may even pick you up from the ferry!
On the east coast of Vancouver Island we enjoy Canada’s warmest mean temperature (don't be too jealous, it rains all winter!) Southern Vancouver Island is anchored by BC's capital city of Victoria. On the west coast, you’ll find windswept beaches, and fishing opportunities right from the dock.
Canada’s surfer paradise boasts the most beautiful beaches and coastal rainforests on the West Coast. Trust us - it’s well worth the trip! (5 hours from Victoria, 6 from Vancouver)
Escape to any of these charming islands to slow down, connect with nature and experience life outside the hustle and bustle of the city.
If you want somewhere with all the natural beauty of Tofino, minus the crowds, Port Renfrew is the place for you!
