My Favourite Vancouver Island Waterfalls


Vancouver Island View

If you love the sound of rushing water, misty forest trails, and discovering nature’s most breathtaking places, you’ll love this one.

Over the years, I’ve made it my mission to explore as many Vancouver Island waterfalls as I can—and I’ve finally rounded up my top 20 favourites in one place!

From iconic falls like Englishman River and Elk Falls, to peaceful forest gems like Rosewall Creek Falls and Nile Creek, this list has something for every explorer.

This list has details to help you plan your next outing, whether you're looking for easy-access family strolls or adventurous hikes.

And yes, I’ve even included a few hidden waterfalls for those who love a good off-the-beaten-path experience.

Waterfalls Galore!

I’d love to know how many of these you have visited and which one is next on your list.

Hit reply and let me know!
