Vancouver Island View

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

​

This newsletter is in your inbox a lot later in the day than is typical, but I didn't want you to miss out on the following articles. Hopefully, they will help you get out and about this weekend and maybe give you something to plan in the near future.

​

Map of Things to Do

No matter where you are on the island, there is something to see and do. These are my top recommendations for each region. Use this map as a guideline to see the highlights.

​

A New Hidden Gem

This subscription-only article showcases the must-sees on the drive from Gold River to Tahsis. After exploring all of the tourism-board recommendations (most of them a complete bust), these are my top-picks.

Updated Posts

​

Grizzly Bear Tours

It's that time of year! The Grizzly Bear Tours are about to start up again. Expensive? Yes, but it's a truly remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

​

Little Huson Caves

This older article needed a refresh. New and updated information has been added about this beautiful caving area near Woss. Even if going underground isn't your thing, this cave is perfect!

​

Cowichan River Tubing

Updated information for this incredibly fun activity on the Cowichan River.

​

Wherever you decide to roam, have a great weekend!
