Although Vancouver Island is just a small speck on the map of Canada, its size belies its diversity. A chain of rugged mountains divides the island into two distinct sides: dense rain-drenched forest and remote surf- and wind-battered shores on the west, and well-populated, sheltered, beach-fringed lowlands facing the Strait of Georgia to the east.
Victoria, the islands largest city and the capital of British Columbia, lies on the islands southern tip. Its many cosmopolitan charms include colorful gardens and afternoon tea. It has the mildest climate of any Canadian capital, which provides a beautiful harborside setting for an array of cultural, dining, and shopping choices.
Outside the city, complete one of the great coastal hikes. Try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding or sea kayaking through protected fjords. Explore the rural oases of the Southern Gulf Islands. Surf along the rugged west coast. Share the thrill of hooking a giant salmon or the bizarre scenario of sleeping in a treetop sphere. Whatever adventures you choose, Vancouver Island wont disappoint you.

Totem poles sprout from shady parks. Double-decker buses and horse-drawn carriages compete for the summer tourist trade.
North of the capital, the bustling harborside town of Sidney is a gateway to the idyllic Southern Gulf Islands. A winding coastal highway leads to Port Renfrew, where backcountry enthusiasts begin the long-distance West Coast Trail. Or admire totem poles in Duncan and float down the Cowichan River on an inflatable tube.
The central section of Vancouver Island extends from Nanaimo, a 90-minute drive from Victoria, north to the Comox Valley, and up and over the Vancouver Island Ranges to the west. Along the east coast of the Strait of Georgia are Oceanside resort towns, while the interior is dotted with waterfalls and stands of old-growth forest. The west coast is dominated by wild, untamed beaches bookended by fishing-turned-tourist towns, Ucluelet and Tofino.
