"relatively small island", larger than 8 US states and, over 50 independent countries

[@lovelywalks4270]

That doesn't make it a big island

[@tonyolynyk2145]

Seeking Justice its twice the size of the Hawaiian islands, three times the size of Jamaica. A whole Jamaica larger than Israel. Its the 43rd largest island in the world considering there is 2000+ islands in the world oceans alone so by definition its in the top 2% of the world island sizes

[@lovelywalks4270]

@@tonyolynyk2145 that doesnt make it big. It just makes it bigger than smaller islands

[@esmediamond]

Seeking Justice hey snowflake do you feel smart enough arguing that it’s small 😂

[@zhongvince9210]

Larger than Taiwan lol

[@pal7169]

Relative to what exactly? It is a massive island.

[@TheAlexdx7]

I don't know australia or maybe new Zealand lol

[@tylerhandy4749]

@@TheAlexdx7 those both are countries bud.. what about the UK then? C'mon now.. Van island is wild and only 70% of it is accessible because of how wild and protected it is

[@TheAlexdx7]

[@SmittyEh.]

I mean its only the size of Israel.

[@rier8061]

Roughly the size of Great Britain 😂

[@ArcticAirUltraPro]

It's actually a large island and is indigenous land home to many nations!

[@fromhgwaii]

Yes - Vancouver Island is bigger than the country of Belgium, and about 1/4 the size of the UK. It takes 8 hours to drive from south to north.

[@robypaul202]

Right? What kinda island is this guy comparing it to? It's massive. lol.

[@themeek3624]

🌻✨ yes, since creation First Nations people governed the lands ocean and peoples. I feel indigenous sounds less then human tho, a description, and normally given to plants.

[@Varekai0723]

​@@robypaul202 It's fairly small by Canadian standards.

[@lovinlife6941]

I was born in Victoria in 1961 and my dad was born in Victoria in 1912. He was on the Sanich police force when there was only 5 offices on the whole force! I am very proud of him as he was an amazing man!!! An article was written about him in the Vancouver Sun as a cop and was called " the last of the good"

[@jasonarthurs3885]

Really? Saanich is spelled with 2 'a's

[@kpritchard2043]

Beautiful heritage you have!

[@ellingtonpeacock1646]

You know I was born and raised in Victoria, and I've been to all of the places in your vid. But seeing them through your lense made me realize what a beautiful place I live in. Thank you.

[@paidinfull5844]

I have had the pleasure calling Victoria my home for the last 38 years. I am forever grateful my mom brought me here and raised me on this beautiful island

[@tessahamilton7973]

I lived in Victoria when I was younger. I miss this beautiful island so much.

[@Andy1076]

Finally KZbin recommends me a video from my home province! I love the islands, don't get nearly enough chances to visit the beautiful natures they share but I hope to change that soon. :)

[@wernerleymann3996]

Being from Kelowna I live in Indonesia now and enjoy the endless summer. However... I still believe that Canada and especially BC is the most beautiful place on earth. Your nice trip video proved it again and reminded me of my own many trips on that magnificent island. Thanks for sharing.

[@user-vl8zv]

Born and raised on Vancouver island 😍 absolutely love it here

[@gaellemaz3727]

Lived out west for twenty-five years. Every summer, I would make my way to the island and loved every minute of it.

[@mattfarra7415]

I just love this island, we can't wait to move here and join our friends ❤️

[@artgirlsreality]

this was wonderful. It totally makes me want Vancouver Island on my bucket list for when we can travel again more freely!! thank YOU for sharing it.

Thanks for doing this Noah! Great Video I liked and Subscribed and can't wait to see more. My wife and I moved to Sooke in November 2018 after we visited for a vacation. It was literally life changing! Now we tell all our friends in Victoria about how great surfing in Tofino is and how much we enjoy Port Renfrew and all the stops in between.

[@KellyPettit]

Awesome!!!! I grew up here and will always stay here. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesrice1442]

Port Renfrew is not the end of the highway at all! From Sooke, you can pass Renfrew and go to Lake Cowichan, Duncan, and then the rest of the island.

[@andievandereerden4667]

I live on Vancouver Island and these are some are some of my favourite places to visit.East Sooke Park is a really nice park with petroglyphs and it has a great easy day hike to a place called Cabin Point. Quadra Island is also a nice place to visit with good lakes, hikes, and camping. And Englishmen River Falls is are really good place to swim and hike.

[@CharlieND]

Having lived here for most of my life, I often forget about what a truly unique place it is.

[@t.sandi01s55]

Not only how wonderful the Iranian foods, you are showing us how wonderful Iranian people are. That changed my idea about Iran. I appreciated your video so much.

Great cinematography- In our VI visit we also enjoyed the swimming pools on the road to Tofino. Also recommend Kinsol Trestle and Telegraph Cove.

Oh my thank you Riley! Those sound amazing, I definitely will be going back sometime soon!

Great video dude !

[@PlanFree]

Excellent production, I bet you put a ton of effort into making it and it shows!👋🥂

[@DjD4D]

Apart from the abundant natural wonders and chill folks, the "big island" is the perfect place for a road trip. Due the the mild annual climate, the roads are amazing and even when you're in the middle of nowhere you can just cruise along for days and enjoy the incredible scenery without ever seeing a pothole. Same goes for the small islands like Salt Spring which is absolutely magical, and thanks to the extensive bird population has almost no bugs even in spring - coming from Ontario that alone is awesome :)

[@jaylakayalah5798]

the botanical gardens just outside victoria are a MUST SEE honestly they are so amazing!!! also Lynn canyon park is great if your staying in Vancouver for any length of time and want to get outdoors a bit!
