Vancouver Island View

Spring is starting to show up on Vancouver Island. The waterfalls are roaring, blossoms are beginning to appear, and those longer, brighter days are calling us back outside.

It's one of my favourite seasons to explore because everything feels fresh, vibrant, and just a little quieter before summer arrives.

This week, I’ve updated my Vancouver Island Spring Bucket List, packed with ideas to help you make the most of the season.

Whether you have plans to view the herring run, wander through blooming gardens, or plan your next island adventure, this article will help you do just that.

I’m also sharing a brand-new hidden gem that’s especially beautiful in the spring (and one you might not have discovered yet).

Let’s dive in.
