Vancouver Island View

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

​

The Vancouver Island summer checklist article is finally fully complete! In case you missed it, I sent out the first few sections two weeks ago.

Despite my best efforts, I couldn't complete the last sections before leaving on holiday.

So, while the information is getting out there much later than I intended, I hope the information is useful for the remainder of your summer plans.

After tallying it up, I recommended 231 things to see and do across Vancouver Island! The checklists, table of contents, and map help keep everything organized.

No matter where on the island you decide to wander, there are many ideas for that region!

Head to the new product page if you want quick access to the individual checklists. They are all there to download.

The Vancouver Island View link within the downloadable PDFs will bring you back to the main article, where you can find more information about each location mentioned.

And, of course, if you want to read the full article, it's available to you as well below.

Product Page

On this product page, you'll find the Summer Checklists for each region of Vancouver Island. They are free to download and keep. There are also plenty of other goodies on that page that you may have missed.

Malcolm Island

This older article needed a refresh. New and updated information has been added about this fantastic little island off the northern coast of Vancouver Island.

​

Off-Leash Areas

This older article has seen an uptick in readership lately, so I decided to polish it up. As we no longer have a dog in the family, I may have missed a Mid-Island off-leash location. Please let me know if I have!

​

Cowichan Float

Floating down the Cowichan River is such a fun activity. However, as it becomes more popular, renting tubes on the day of is becoming more difficult. It's always best to book ahead if this is something you wish to do. This company rents tubes AND gives you a lift back to the starting point!

Wherever you decide to roam, have a great weekend!
