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.
