The best way to minimise the impact of whalewatching on marine mammals is to view them from land. As I point out in this video, unlike vessel-based whalewatching, land-based whalewatching has no minimum distance requirements. Thus, if you are patient and persistent, up close Encounters are possible, as I have experienced on many occasions, as this KZbin video illustrates: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYO3paOZhZ19Z7Msi=mGpdirJmpODRahh6

Absolutely lovely!

great video, very inspiring with beautiful stories and pictures. As a photographer, the landscape is fascinating, you can't get enough of it. I'm looking forward to being able to travel again. best regards from Germany

Your videos are inspiring. I lived in Victoria when I was younger and Victoria will always be my home because as they say home is where the heart is. Vancouver Island is so beautiful. I have always enjoyed your videos. Keep them coming please. Thank you.

great

Visit Port Alice While your there! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eprKh3p_hsuZo68

Beautiful

I love every place of this video! Thanks for sharing it :)

nice to see my Old Friend Peter Barrett

Good vid 👍👍 Would you have a quick response to our video and also let me know what you first thought as I do think you might have an eye for the work

Hi :) where’s the waterfall ? Thank you and wonderful video! What typos of camera did you use?

This is amazing. Have added it to fb Randle House by the Sea. Thank you so very much.

The video looks wonderful but it doesn't identify where the films are shot. This would help tourists a great deal -- when something looks interesting on the video, I'd like to know where it is so I can include it in my travels.

1:10 mark is "The Haunted Bookshop" in Sidney, my #1 favourite bookstore.

I just keep watching it!

Thank you for all the Beautiful videos of our Home

where is the train running

lol i can see my house in this video

great place.loved living there!!

Excellent, Geoff!!! 😊

my wifes family emigrated from noldon colliery co durham england to nanaimo in the early 1900s robert and martha potter also martha s sisters emma and brother george moore. martha and roberts son joseph returned to boldon colliery to visit his auntie margaret skelton who lived in store buildings. his two friends amy a native canadian caused quite a stir and Jerry married a boldon colliery girl and they had a son also Gerald, Joe and his pals were stationed in the miners hall over the road to joes auntie margaret . The lads were to take part in the d day landings and sadly Joe was killed by a sniper in caen on the 9th June. but hes always been remembered .

Would Love to visit Nanaimo BC

I live here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flying to Port Hardy with Pacific Coastal Airlines is another option that's much closer!

I love Nanaimo..... perfect place! I hope to go again!

Hornby Island has much nicer beaches like Big Trib in my opinion rather then Goosespit.

Nanaimo is awesome I've lived here my hole life

Excellent video with a good message, couldn't agree more we need to have tourists feel welcome and with just a little extra effort they will go home and share positive experiences and tell others. One activity missing though is diving, unless I missed it as we do have world class cold water diving and many wrecks to explore. Good job VIT!

Cowichan is also your gateway to boating in the world famous Gulf Islands. What are you waiting for? Life is better on the water!

I have lived there all my life.. It's so amazing and a great place to raise a family

Warcraft Movie 2014 Vancouver.

I had the privilege of growing up in Nanaimo and have so many fond memories of the magnificence and natural beauty of Vancouver Island. Unfortunately, we moved to Southern California when I was about 16 years old and in retrospect I didn't really appreciate what a wonderful place Nanaimo and the island is. There is nothing in California that can compare the wilderness type lifestyle of Nanaimo and Vancouver Island. I would trade California living in a heartbeat to be able to return to Nanaimo to live out the remainder of my retirement years.

Stimulating, fun.

I miss my home town so so much

I miss Nanaimo.

Also a mere 20 min sea plane ride over from Vancouver!

Beautiful, another paradise found! :-)
