Just off Canada’s Pacific Coast is a lush and wild place – Vancouver Island. Home to British Columbia’s capital, Victoria, Vancouver Island is full of history, heritage, and a plethora of natural places. Shorelines are rugged and full of fjords, bays, and inlets ready for exploration. Its provincial parks are plenty, some of which include peaks with the only glaciers on the island. Winding in between mountains, valleys, and forests are crystal clear rivers that carry salmon on a quest to find their spawning grounds. This magical island will have you in awe of its natural wonders and you itching to explore every inch.
