Island Life Vancouver Island

Just a Ferry or Plane Ride Away

When visiting Vancouver, BC, you'll want to make time to visit Vancouver Island.  The 460-km island in the Pacific Ocean was traditionally inhabited by the Nuu-chah-nulth, Kwakwaka'wakw, and Coast Salish peoples.  The island is steeped in indigenous heritage.

You can take a ferry to Vancouver Island or a plane.  A ferry will get you to the island in about 2 hours.  A plane will get you there in 25 minutes - 1 hour, depending on what part of the island you wish to visit. 

You'll enjoy hanging out on the beach, surfing, hiking in ancient rainforests, camping in Tofino, and experiencing the culture when you visit Vancouver Island.

Various birds, orcas, and even black bears can be seen on Vancouver Island.  Beautiful views, the nation's tallest waterfall, and small towns will highlight your visit.

If you prefer a less outdoorsy experience, Vancouver Island offers pampering and R&R at their spas and wellness facilities.  Imagine a sea-salt rub, aromatherapy, a mineral bath, and more as you relax into the island life.

Daring FunCapilano Suspension Bridge Park

Vancouver is home to the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and it's sure to test your fear of heights!  This 450-foot bridge was built in 1889 and is one of Vancouver's most popular tourist attractions. The bridge, located in a rainforest, provides incredible views of the Capilano river, cedar trees, and mountains.

In addition to the  Capilano Suspension Bridge, you can enjoy views from various viewing platforms, a cantilevered walkway (Cliffwalk), and seven additional suspension bridges.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to learn about the forest and ecosystem from educational signs throughout the area.  You can even visit the Raptors Ridge facility to learn more about birds and raptors.

You're going to love the beauty that surrounds you as you venture across the Capilano Suspension Bridge!
