Getting you out and about

Vancouver Island View

Bringing you ideas about the best ways to explore the island.

​

I've updated several articles that will get you out and about. The first big update is to a bucket list article written several years ago. I changed it so much that, despite the same title, it may as well be a brand-new post. I also created a downloadable PDF to accompany the article so you can always access it.

The Ultimate Vancouver Island Bucket List

This list includes my favourite spots and places everyone should see/visit at least once. How many have you been to?

​

Horne Lake Caves

This older article received a facelift with updated information and images. The family-friendly tour at Horne Lake is a great place to start if you've never tried caving.

​

Driftwood Creations Treasure Hunt

Campbell River is full of amazing driftwood sculptures created by talented artist Alex Witcombe. This older article received a refresher with updated clues on how to find the newest additions. A beach near Victoria has many more driftwood creations (a different artist). All are mentioned in the post.

​

New Tour!

I can't tell you how often I've been asked about the best location to spot Sea Otters. Thankfully, someone came up with a guided tour to do just that. The tour leaves Port Hardy and travels through God's Pocket MPP, another spectacular place not many get to see unless you own a boat.

​

Wherever you decide to roam, have a great weekend! It will be a hot one out there, so stay safe.
