Vancouver Island and the surrounding area really are a place onto their own. Majestic old growth forests, private beaches, seafood, wildlife, camping, fishing, sailing, kayaking, fresh farm produce and myriad choice of festivals all entice the visitor in the summer. Although one could spend a life time exploring the 500 km long island that lies off the British Columbia southern coast, many of the amazing sites can be reached as a day or weekend trip from Victoria, the provincial capitol.

BC Gulf Islands

The gulf islands make up the archipelago that lies between Vancouver and Victoria, and each island has its own flavour. As travel is reliant on ferry traffic, it is important to be aware of schedules and high traffic times such as long weekends.

Coastal Weather

Although the coast is known for rainy winters, the summers are usually warm and relatively dry. The eastern side of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are mostly in rain shadow, which makes them much drier than the coast on the mainland. In fact there is often a fire ban in the area during the summer due to the tinder dry conditions. Weather on the west side of Vancouver Island is much less predictable, and although storms are more of a winter phenomenon, anything can happen in the summer as well.
