Welcome to the Vancouver Island Region
Nestled along Canada’s West Coast, the Vancouver Island region is a paradise of tranquil islands, pristine coastlines, and emerald forests, where the ever-present Pacific Ocean shapes the scenery and softens the climate.
Lush old-growth rainforests where the trees form a cool canopy over hiking trails, sparkling wave-swept beaches that stretch for miles, majestic mountains with glittering glaciers and snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear rivers teeming with fish, sun-dappled lakes surrounded by parkland, alpine meadows filled with wild flowers, rolling vistas of farmland and vineyards — it’s one awe-inspiring view after another.
And, whether you are strolling on a beach or cycling a country lane, watching an artist at work or enjoying a seafood feast on a sunny patio, you can feel the magic of being on an island surrounded by the magnificence of the Pacific Ocean.
Come to the Vancouver Island region and discover for yourself why readers of Condé Nast Traveler Magazine and Travel and Leisure Magazine consistently rate this one of the world’s top vacation destinations.
