I was fortunate to be born and raised on Vancouver Island. As a child, whenever my mom was at work, my grandparents loved driving me around to find fun new things to do on Vancouver Island.
From a young age I developed a love of exploring this beautiful island. Even though I moved away for university, traveled the world and met my husband, we still decided to move back and make the island our home.
Until now we love “being tourists” in our own backyard and enjoy sharing with others all that this 460km-long island has to offer. Below are some of our favorite things to do on Vancouver Island!
65 Things to Do on Vancouver Island
1. Relax at Tigh-na-mara
The tranquil Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort is located in Parksville on 3km of beautiful sandy beach. It is home to the award-winning Grotto Spa where you can have a dip in the relaxing mineral pool and choose from their top-notch spa treatments.
Our favorite experience at Tigh-Na-Mara is their endless tapas dining experience. It is only offered to spa guests and you get to dine in your robe while being served an endless offering of delicious tapas!
If you are looking for relaxing or romantic things to do on Vancouver Island, make sure to add this to the list!
2. Hike Mt. Finalyson
This hike is one of the more popular ones in the Victoria area. It can be accessed from either Goldstream Park or Bear Mountain.
Make sure to wear good shoes as the hike can be quite steep and slippery in parts. If you are afraid of heights, this one might not be for you. But if you make it to the top, you can be sure the views will be incredible!
3. Walk the Kinsol Trestle
Located in the Shawnigan Lake area, just north of Victoria, this historic trestle is one of our favorite things to do on Vancouver Island when we are wanting to take in the beautiful outdoors. The trestle was originally constructed in 1920 and was beautifully restored and re-opened in 2012. Standing 145 feet above the Koksilah River and running 614 feet in length it is one of the tallest free-standing timber rail trestle structures in the world.
It is a peaceful 1.2km walk from the parking lot and a lovely place to have a picnic down by the river.
4. Go caving at Horne Lake
Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park is located in the Qualicum Beach area in central Vancouver Island. There are a number of guided tours to choose from to explore the multiple caves. One cave even has a 7 storey waterfall inside!
If you are looking for adventurous things to do on Vancouver Island, exploring this underground wonderland is a great choice!
5. Find the hidden waterfall
Another one of our favorite things to do on Vancouver Island is searching for waterfalls! The one at Sombrio Beach has to be our favorite. It is a bit hidden and can’t be seen from the beach. But once you find it up the stream, you will be rewarded with an amazing waterfall that you can take a dip under!
If you plan to do a road trip along Vancouver Island’s West Coast, make sure you stop here!

6. Swing at Mystic Beach
Mystic Beach is another great stop to add to your Vancouver Island West Coast Road Trip. Be prepared for a bit of a hike to the beach through peaceful forest. Once you reach the beach you will be rewarded with stunning scenic views in every direction.
We love the rope swing on the beach! And the waterfall off the cliff.
7. Take the boat to Newcastle Island
As a child, I used to love visiting Newcastle Island on school field trips. This small island is only accessible by foot passenger ferry from Nanaimo or private boat. It is just a 10 minute ferry ride from Maffeo Sutton Park and costs $8 round trip. The ferry leaves every half an hour. You can find current ferry schedules here.
It makes a great day trip or you can camp overnight. You can hike some of the 22km of light hiking trails around the island, swim off the beaches, kayak around the island, explore the tidal pools, or even book a traditional salmon barbecue to learn more about the unique culture of the Snuneymuxw people.
8. Hike the West Coast Trail
If you are looking for challenging things to do on Vancouver Island, then hiking the West Coast Trail should certainly be on your list! This popular bucket list hike is 75km long and can be intimidating to even the most seasoned hikers.
If you are up for the challenge, learn how to properly prepare and reserve your spot here!
Tip: If you would like to tackle a shorter version of the hike, you can start at the mid-point entrance at Nitinaht Narrows instead. You can find out more here.
9. Go surfing in Tofino
Visiting Tofino is no doubt one of the most popular things to do on Vancouver Island. When I talk to people around the world who have visited Vancouver Island they always bring up Tofino. This small town on the west coast of Vancouver Island attracts surfers year-round and is known as the undisputed surfing capital of Canada.
With 35km of beaches there is a variety of waves and beaches to suit every skill level. However if cold water surfing is not for you, you can still enjoy watching the surfers from the comfort of your warm hotel room. The oceanfront Long Beach Lodge Resort offers both surf lessons and oceanview rooms to satisfy both surfers and non-surfers.

10. Have breakfast with a view at the Villa Eyrie
I’ve always loved the Villa Eyrie because of the stunning views! The resort is nestled in a quiet area on the Malahat, between Victoria and Mill Bay. Sitting 1880ft above sea level, the views alone are worth a stop here.
From your breakfast table you will have incredible views over the Saanich Inlet and all the way to Mt. Baker and the Olympic mountains!
11. Tube the Cowichan River
This is a very popular summertime activity in the Duncan/Cowichan area! Whenever we had a hot day, my friends and I would head to the river for a refreshing and relaxing float.
It does take some coordinating as you will need 2 vehicles. You will need to leave one by the end (Little Beach) and then drive everyone with all the tubes to the starting point in Lake Cowichan. More conveniently, use a tubing company! The Tube Shack rents tubes, will hold your car keys, and provides shuttle pick up from Little Beach back to your car!
The float down the river takes approximately 3 hours, depending on water levels/flow. If you go when water levels are low, you may need to get out at some points and walk a little bit. Also, if you go in late afternoon, you may get cold as the river will be pretty shaded at that point!
Tip: Wear water shoes or flip flops! If you need to get out and walk a bit, the rocks can be painful on your feet and/or slippery.
12. Go bungee jumping
Just outside of Nanaimo lies more adventurous things to do on Vancouver Island! For adrenaline junkies, why not bungee jump over the Nanaimo River?!
If bungee jumping isn’t for you, you can also try the swing over the river canyon or go on a zip lining adventure.
13. Sleep in the trees
If you’ve ever wanted to literally sleep in the trees, then a night or two at Free Spirit Spheres is just for you! This exotic place to stay can be found in the Qualicum Bay area.
There are 3 spheres to choose from and they give a whole new meaning to the term “glamping”. Staying at these unique accommodations set among the coastal rainforest is one of the coolest things to do on Vancouver Island!
14. Golf at one of the 40+ courses
You may not think of Vancouver Island as a golf destination, but with over 40 courses, it is the only region of Canada where you can golf year-round! Some of our favorites are The Westin Bear Mountain Victoria Golf Resort, Olympic View and Arbutus Ridge.
15. Go on a haunted tour
Did you know Victoria is often considered as the most haunted city in BC? There are a ton of ghostly stories of buildings in downtown and the surrounding areas. If you are into spooky things to do on Vancouver Island, try out a Ghostly Walk!
16. Visit Hatley Castle
That’s right, Victoria has castles! And Hatley Castle is our favorite. If you are an X-Men fan, you have to come here.
The castle is so stunning – it is hard to believe it is actually a university! You have to check out the gardens as well. We especially love the Japanese garden.
17. Check out Government House
Government House is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. While the house is private, the beautiful grounds and gardens are free to explore every day from dawn til dusk. Free public tours are also available – view dates here.
18. Tour the Parliament Building
Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and the Parliament Buildings are one of the most popular sights to see. Most people stop to take a photo outside this splendid building, but did you know it is free to go inside and take a tour? Just make sure you leave time to go through security screening (about 15 minutes).
Tip: Make sure you return at night to see the building all lit up!
19. Have afternoon tea at the Empress
When people think of Victoria, they often think of 2 things: High Tea at the Empress Hotel and Butchart Gardens (coming up next). High Tea at the Empress is one of those iconic things to do on Vancouver Island.
We recommend you try it once in your lifetime, even with the hefty price tag ($82/person as of June 2019).
Tip: Make sure to check the dress code first.
20. Wander Butchart Gardens
Butchart Gardens is one of the most popular places that tourists add to their itinerary when visiting Vancouver Island. Even if you are not that into flowers, the grounds are quite extensive and it is a very nice place to wander around. We particularly love the Japanese garden, as well as the evening fireworks shows they have during the summer.
Check out our Ultimate Guide to Visiting Butchart Gardens for all the details!
Tip: If you want to go for afternoon tea but find the Empress too expensive, try the afternoon tea here instead!
21. See the goats on the roof
Have you ever seen goats on a roof? Neither have we, other than in Coombs! This is one of the unique things to see on Vancouver Island and is quite a popular stop when headed up island. You will find them on the roof of the Old Country Market.
That’s not all, though. The market has a great selection of produce, baked goods, and specialty foods. We also always make sure to stop at the ice cream stand!
22. Visit the Duncan Market
Duncan is the main hub of the Cowichan Valley and every Saturday, rain or shine, there is a great farmers market set up in the city centre. The Duncan Farmers Market runs from 9am-2pm and is one of the largest markets in BC with over 150 vendors!
Our favorite thing to do is go around lunch time and eat at some of the delicious food vendors! You can find all kinds of fresh local produce, baked goods, coffee, cheeses, handmade items, etc.
23. Pet the goats at Beacon Hill Park
As a child, this was one of my favorite things to do on Vancouver Island! My grandparents would often bring me to Beacon Hill Park and we could never miss a stop at the Beacon Hill Children’s Farm.
Petting the goats are a highlight of any visit and we still love it, even as adults!
24. Get ice cream at Chocolats Favoris
If you love ice cream and chocolate, Chocolats Favoris is heaven! It is seriously our favorite ice cream/dessert shop on the entire island. We bring all our friends and family here when they visit and every single one of them has left feeling the exact same as us. We’ve even had friends say they want to come back to Victoria just so they can eat here again!
These are not just your regular dipped cones. You can choose from over 10 different types of delicious chocolate to dip your ice cream in. They also have dessert poutine!! And it is just as delicious.
25. Eat a cinnamon bun (or 2!) at Old Town Bakery
This little bakery in Ladysmith might just be our favorite bakery in all of the island. Old Town Bakery is another place we always bring guests for a sweet treat and they all love it!
The cinnamon buns are what they are best known for but they also have all kinds of delicious freshly baked breads, pies, cakes, cookies, etc as well as lunch options! We often make the drive to Ladysmith JUST for the warm, gooey, soft cinnamon buns. Just be sure not to go on a Sunday – they are closed.
26. View the murals in Chemainus
The little town of Chemainus is known for its many murals – there are a total of 44 of them! Follow the yellow footsteps around the town to take yourself on a self-guided mural walking tour. You can find out all about the murals here.
27. Check out Englishman River Falls
North of Nanaimo you will find Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. There is an easy 1.3km loop hike that you can take to see the two gorgeous waterfalls. It is a lovely hike through the forest, with two bridges that cross the river with great views of the falls.
If you are not bothered by the cold water, you can take a refreshing dip in the river below the falls during the summer months.
28. Explore old growth forest at Cathedral Grove
Cathedral Grove is located within MacMillan Provincial Park, which is just past Coombs. You can stroll through the well-maintained trails, marveling at the gigantic Douglas fir trees. Some are over 800 years old and measure 75m in height and 9m in circumference! It is truly a magical forest to spend a few hours wandering around.
29. Swim in Lake Cowichan
Cowichan Lake is located about a 20 minute drive west of Duncan. The lake is about 30 km long and surrounded by the communities of Lake Cowichan, Honeymoon Bay, Mesachie Lake and Youbou.
This is one of the largest freshwater lakes on Vancouver Island and is a great place to swim in the summer. Our favorite spots to swim are Gordon Bay Provincial Park, on the south shore of the lake, and Pine Point in Youbou, on the north side.
30. See the biggest hockey stick in the world
That’s right, the world’s biggest hockey stick and puck reside in the City of Duncan! You will find it on the outside of the Cowichan Community Centre, visible from the main highway when you drive through town. It is 205 ft long and weighs 28 tonnes!
31. Visit a brewery (or 5 or 10)
One thing is for certain – there is no shortage of local breweries on Vancouver Island! The craft beer scene is thriving. Check out a list of Vancouver Island breweries here or book yourself on a Victoria Brewery Tour.
Our personal favorite in Victoria is Canoe Brewpub. Their patio is the perfect place to relax during the warmer months and the food is great, too.
32. Enjoy pizza night at Merridale
This picturesque farm is located in rural Cobble Hill and is a lovely place to spend an afternoon/evening. They are known for their cider, but you can also tour the orchard, shop the farm store, or even go glamping!
However my favorite thing at Merridale is their Sunday Pizza Nights during the summer! It’s so nice to dine outdoors overlooking the orchard meadow. You can check the calendar here and book your reservation – Pizza Night is quite popular!
33. Go cherry picking
During the summer months, we love to pick berries and fruit fresh from the trees! We particularly love picking cherries in the Cowichan Valley at Divino Estate Winery. You can find the winery right across Valley View Centre, on your way to Cowichan Bay. We suggest calling ahead of time, though, to make sure of the U-Pick hours.
Address: 1500 Freeman Road Phone: 250-743-2311
34. Ski at Mt. Washington
When thinking of things to do on Vancouver Island, skiing may not come to mind. But, in fact, we have two ski resorts on the island! The largest being Mt. Washington Alpine Resort, located in Courtenay.
Mt. Washington receives some of the biggest snowfalls in North America, with an average of 11m per year. With over 1700 acres, 505 vertical metres of alpine terrain, 55km of cross-country skiing and 25km of snowshoeing trails, it is a great place to plan a winter adventure!
35. Watch a Victoria Royals Game
Vancouver Island may not have an NHL team, but we do have a popular WHL (Western Hockey League) team: The Victoria Royals! You can catch a game at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria. Find out more info and buy tickets here.
36. Eat some poutine
When people ask what is a Canadian food, most people answer with “poutine!” While it originates on the other side of the country, in Quebec, you can still find some delicious poutine in Victoria. Our favorite poutine is from La Belle Patate in Esquimalt, just outside downtown Victoria. It is a tiny, hole in the wall place but pretty authentic!
37. Visit the BC Forest Discovery Centre
This was one of my favorite places as a child. It is a fun and educational place to visit for the whole family. The centre spans a total of 100 acres and has all kinds of outdoor and indoor exhibits. The highlight for most is a ride on one of the historic steam locomotives! Make sure to check the train schedule here.
38. Go whale watching
If you’ve always wanted to see whales up close, here is your chance! Whale watching is one of the top things to do on Vancouver Island due to the high concentration of killer whales and other whale species in the area.
We had the most amazing experience seeing whales up close on our Victoria Whale Watching Tour and highly recommend it!
39. Partake in a water taxi pub crawl
If you are looking for something fun and different to try on Vancouver Island, why not go on a water taxi pub crawl?! In downtown Victoria you can book tickets for a Pickle Pub Crawl. Designed for four people, your captain takes you to four stops where you can visit participating pubs and receive a free appetizer with the purchase of any drink. At only $25 each, it is a great option for a fun night out with friends!
40. Try some local coffee
If the craft beer scene isn’t your thing, maybe the local coffee scene will be more up your alley. If you are a coffee-lover, there is no shortage of local coffee shops to try out on Vancouver Island!
Some of our favorites include Caffe Fantastico, Discovery Coffee, Serious Coffee and Drumroaster Coffee in Cowichan Bay.
41. Marvel at the sand castles in Parksville
Every summer there is a fantastic Sand Sculpting Competition and Exhibition in Parksville during the months of July and August. The sculptures are incredible!! You can find out all about it here.
42. Go zip lining
There are a few different options for zip lining on Vancouver Island if you are looking for something adventurous to do. You can zip line over a river canyon in Port Alberni, over the Nanaimo river, through the forest canopy in Sooke, and, as of 2019, through the treelines of Mt. Washington!
43. Relax at Hot Springs Cove
Located about 50km outside of Tofino and accessible only by water taxi or seaplane, Hot Springs Cove makes a wonderful day trip. On your way to the hot springs you will likely get to spot lots of wildlife, such as whales, sea lions and eagles, which adds to the fun.
Once you arrive, the hot springs are located about a half hour walk up the wooden boardwalk through the forest. Wear water shoes as the rocks can be slippery at the pools and be prepared for water up to 50 degrees celsius!
There are a number of tour operators to choose from to get to Hot Springs Cove, such as Ocean Outfitters and Jamie’s Whaling Station and Adventure Centres.
44. Try a driving experience at Vancouver Island Motor Sport Circuit

You can find out all about their driving experiences here.
45. Visit Sidney Spit
Sidney Spit is located 5km from Sidney, on the north end of Sidney Island, and is only accessible by boat. It’s a beautiful place to walk along the sandy beaches, walk the several wooded trails and view the abundance of birds and marine life! Read all about visiting Sidney Spit on our detailed blog post.
46. Learn about birds at The Raptors
Get up close and personal with birds of prey at The Raptors centre in Duncan! The biologists here are passionate about the conservation of birds of prey and raising awareness. A standard visit here allows you to tour the facility, listen to the talks and experience a flying demonstration. You’ll get to see all kinds of incredible birds, such as bald eagles, owls, falcons, vultures and hawks.
If you want to get even closer, you can book a special hands-on experience and hang out with several species of raptors on your glove!
47. Walk the suspension bridge at Bright Angel Park
Bright Angel Park is located in the Cowichan Valley. It is home to one of my favorite suspension bridges in the area, crossing over the Koksilah River. There is a great playground for kids, picnic areas, and wooded trails. During the summer the river is great for a refreshing dip if you can stand the cold water!
48. Look out over Victoria atop Mt. Tolmie
Mt. Tolmie is one of my favorite spots to take visitors for a panoramic view of Victoria. While there are many trails within the park and you can hike to the summit, there is also a windy road you can drive up instead. This makes Mt. Tolmie a great place to take people who aren’t able to hike up for a good view.
49. Walk the breakwater
The Ogden Point Breakwater was built in 1916 and is 762 metres (2500 feet) long. It is a popular place for a scenic walk, with a lighthouse rewarding you at the end. Located right next to the cruise ship dock, this walk is perfect for those visiting Victoria on a cruise ship stop.
50. Camp at Strathcona
Strathcona Park is located west of Campbell River, in central Vancouver Island. It is BC’s oldest provincial park and the largest one on Vancouver Island. The park is known for its lakes, waterfalls and glaciers.
If you love hiking, this is a great place to camp and spend some time exploring! For more experienced hikers, you can make the trek to Della Falls, which is considered the highest waterfall in Canada at 440 metres!
51. Check out the petroglyphs at Sproat Lake
Sproat Lake is located west of Port Alberni and is popular for swimming, fishing and waterskiing. However it is also home to one of the finest panels of petroglyphs in British Columbia! The petroglyph is known as “K’ak’awin” and can be found at the east end of the park.
52. Watch a race at Western Speedway
Located in Victoria (Langford, to be exact), Western Speedway is a popular spot for the entire family! This is Western Canada’s oldest speedway and has seating to accommodate 3000 fans.
The season runs for 8 months, starting in April. The speedway hosts races for many different classes of cars, including winged sprint cars, stock cars, late models and demo trucks. If you are into cars, this is a fun thing to do on Vancouver Island! Just remember to bring some ear protection 😉
53. Have dinner with a view in Maple Bay
Maple Bay is located in the Cowichan Valley, just 10 minutes east of Duncan, and is a lovely seaside community. It is also home to The Lion Rampant Scottish Pub, which is our favorite place to have dinner with an amazing view of the bay. The view from the patio is so serene and makes it a great place to relax on a summer evening.
54. Visit Little Niagara Falls
That’s right, Vancouver Island is home to its own little Niagara Falls! These falls can be found in Goldstream Park, just north of Victoria. The waterfall is narrow but drops 47.5 metres and is a beautiful sight. It is an easy hike from the parking lot and can be combined with a hike to the Goldstream Trestle.
55. Indulge in some local ice cream
Ice cream lovers unite! Vancouver Island has a great local ice cream scene and we have a number of favorites to recommend. Try some Water Buffalo Milk gelato at Parachute Ice Cream in Victoria, a delicious ice cream cookie sandwich at Cold Comfort, organic ice cream at Kid Sister in Victoria’s Chinatown, preservative-free old-fashioned ice cream at Udder Guy’s in Cowichan Bay, or plant-based gelato at Cold Front Gelato in Nanaimo.
56. Catch a show at the Chemainus Theatre

Check out their show schedule and buy your tickets on their website.
57. Ride a miniature train
This is a great activity for families looking for unique, fun things to do on Vancouver Island. The miniature train can be found at Heritage Acres in Saanich. You can check out the schedule for the train rides here. Rides are by donation but some of the events require an entry fee.
58. Explore the Royal BC Museum
I am not much of a museum person but this honestly is one of my favorite museums in the world! Even though I’ve been many times in my life, I still love to visit every few years. They have 3 permanent galleries plus many different exhibitions that come through each year.
My favorite is the modern history gallery with a replica of early twentieth century Victoria, complete with a train station and old Chinatown. Kids love the natural history gallery, complete with a gigantic woolly mammoth.
The museum, located in downtown Victoria by the Inner Harbour, is open every day except for Christmas and New Year’s Day. You can check out current hours here.
59. Drive to the tip of the island
Feel like a road trip? Drive 500km from Victoria to Port Hardy at the northern tip of Vancouver Island. The stretch of highway from Campbell River to Port Hardy is especially scenic – you may even spot bears on the side of the road!
Once you reach Port Hardy, you may want to travel even further along the logging roads to Cape Scott Provincial Park. The park sits at the northwestern tip of the island and is known for its beautiful, rugged coastal wilderness.
60. Gaze at the stars at the Observatory
If you are looking for free things to do on Vancouver Island, this is a fun one to add to the list! The Dominion Astrophysical Observatory is located in Victoria and they host popular “Star Parties” on Saturdays from April til September.
Admission is free, but you do need to register for a ticket ahead of time online. The star parties include planetarium shows, sidewalk astronomers, auditorium presentations, dome tours, and of course the finest view in Victoria!
61. Search for an old war plane
This great adventure can be found at the northern tip of Vancouver Island and is definitely worth the effort to get there! Having crashed in 1944, it is surreal to see this Royal Canadian Air Force plane up close in person. Find out how to hike to the Port Hardy Plane Crash.
62. Peer into the Abyss
Take a quick and easy hike to the Abyss in Nanaimo where you will find this large crack in the ground. At over a foot wide in some parts, and who knows how deep, it is a unique place to see on Vancouver Island!
63. Swing with a fantastic view
Hike up to this hidden swing with gorgeous views over Shawnigan Lake! It’s a fairly quick, but steep climb, but the reward is worth it.
64. Find the Hole in the Wall
It’s just a quick hike in to this hole in a rock wall with a nice little waterfall flowing through.
65. Ride the exhilarating slide at Malahat SkyWalk
One of the newest and unique things to do on Vancouver Island is the one-of-a-kind Malahat SkyWalk.

is there a possibility to do most of those things by bycicle or public transport?
Hi Montse,
A lot of these attractions are quite spread out all over the island (which is 460 kilometres long) so unfortunately many are difficult to reach by bicycle or public transportation. The attractions that are within Victoria or even Nanaimo would be possible to visit by public transportation or bike, but for those further from the cities, you would need to have a car.
