Spring Break on Vancouver Island: Ideas to Keep Busy


Vancouver Island View

Although it doesn’t necessarily feel like spring out there yet, the time has come - Spring Break has officially arrived on Vancouver Island.

To help keep boredom at bay, I’ve just updated my guide to Spring Break activities on Vancouver Island. Whether you’re planning a quick outing close to home or a day trip somewhere new, this list is packed with ideas from all around the island.

That happened during a recent trip to Victoria, when I finally checked the last garden off my personal must-visit list: The Gardens at HCP. And it was even more beautiful...

Vancouver Island View The sun is shining, patios are filling up, trails are bursting back to life, and yet…summer crowds still haven’t fully arrived. So it's the perfect opportunity for a little island getaway to a few of my favourite spots. First up is Saysutshun (Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park). Just a short ferry ride from Nanaimo, this island feels worlds away, with coastal walking trails, beaches, forest paths, and fascinating layers of history tucked throughout the island. Or...

Vancouver Island View I spend a lot of time exploring all across Vancouver Island, chasing new places and experiences. But every now and then, I’m reminded that some of the best spots are the ones right here at home.
