Known for its beautiful scenery and abundant forests, beaches, and wildlife, Vancouver Island is just a short ferry ride away from the bustling Lower Mainland. Get away from it all on a multi-day hike along the West Coast Trail, view some of the word's largest trees in Strathcona Provincial Park, reel in the catch of a lifetime in Campbell River (the "Salmon Capital of the World"), or explore the charming Gulf Islands by kayak - there are endless outdoor adventure opportunities! -- Amazon.
