VOTED ONE OF THE BEST 12 ISLANDS IN THE WORLD!

Welcome To Vancouver Island!

We're located in the province of British Columbia (BC), on Canada's spectacular West Coast. Bursting with natural beauty, the Island's the perfect British Columbia vacation destination.

How Does Conde Nast Traveler rate Vancouver Island?

(8 years in a row).

in the World."

Spectacular wilderness hiking. Glorious beach isolation. The best salmon fishing British Columbia offers. This is the place to find it all!

We're Your Best Island Travel Guides...
Because We Live Here!

We're Susan and Graeme...longtime residents of the Island. We've lived here for over 14 years and we're still enjoying tons of great Island adventures. For years, with our son (Nolen), we've uncovered and experienced unique and challenging adventures, great places to stay, hidden beaches and more!

In exploring our Island (from top to bottom, side to side), we know firsthand where all the best outdoor adventures are located. And we're always talking to other locals to find out about where to find great stuff to do!

Take a look at our Vancouver Island Map to see what it looks like.
