Vancouver Island Travel Guide - Full Road Trip Itinerary to See All the Highlights in One Week!

[@soulwriter7039]

Thanks for visiting the Island. Glad you had a wonderful time here. It’s a unique, beautiful place for sure. And there’s so much more outside of the areas you visited. For future visits, if you ever have to ask directions: Pronunciations: Lake Cowichan = Lake COW-ih-chin. Ucluelet = Yoo-CLUE-let. Wickaninnish = WICK-an-INN-ish. Port Alberni is on an ocean inlet, not a lake. It’s Sproat Lake, not Lake Sproat. Salt Spring Island, not Salt Springs. Thanks again for visiting!

Great Travel video. Amazing editing. You can tell that you put a load of homework into this. Looking forward to more.

Being from the island for those that don’t mind camping Vancouver island has 1 St class camp sites cheap along with wilderness sites , so if your into tenting or have a camper van no problem

I love the format of the video! Great information and wonderful images! Thanks for sharing! I do hope you make more videos around and about the Pacific Northwest! I hope to eventually move to SW Washington. It's all so beautiful! 😍

[@TravelwJeff]

Thanks Lisa! I'm glad you liked it - I'm working on something for Washington State now.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching!

Jeff try the Okanagon valley in BC , This valley is full of Grape Vineyards , Cherries , Peaches , App,es !

[@TravelwJeff]

Agreed - I visited the Okanagon a number of years ago on my way to Banff. It's a beautiful lake and famous for it's ice wines. For those just south also consider visiting Lake Chelan.

Lovely video but please ask somebody how to pronounce the different place names such as cowichan Lake/Bay ab Nd uculet, Wickaninnish Inn. You , unfortunately missed Parksville which has the most amazing beach and park.

Coming from Queensland Australia we love exploring places in their cooler months, we will be coming to Vancouver in mid March so could you please tell me is Vancouver island worth visiting at that time?

[@TravelwJeff]

March isn't a popular time to visit, but may be worth considering if you're ok with overcast or rainy weather. Note that while Vancouver island has pretty moderate temperatures, if you intend to visit Tofino you may encounter snow on the drive. Enjoy your time in Canada!

Going to the island in a little while, and looking forward to seeing the Archaeology of the Island. however there is one drawback the cost of hotels. I gather that hotels are incredibly expensive. $300 per night. That's in Nanaimo. You would expect to pay that in London UK. Not a town in Canada.

[@zizzinpuss]

It's expensive here, don't come

[@pleasehurryup100]

Any advice for 10 days in West Canada in September? My main interest is hiking and wildlife, is it worth a trip to calgary within those 10 days?

[@TravelwJeff]

Definitely go to Banff - September is the perfect time of year too! Lake O'Hara lodge was an incredible experience where I had endless private hikes around beautiful lakes. The larches turn a golden color that time of year too. I also recommend stopping in the Okanagan valley if you want to make for a road trip between Vancouver and Calgary. Good luck!

[@rosemarriott7486]

I’m sorry, but you missed most of the Island. I grew up in Campbell River and I would love a month to see what the Island has to offer

[@Bryankirshon]

on the western coast of Canada.

[@paulmartin2573]

You mispronounced Cowichan. Try cow ich an

[@richardsims8556]

You missed a true gem by not stopping in Nanaimo.

[@paulcosgrove4219]

Nice pictures and itinerary. Five or six places are badly mispronounced. To be more authentic, you might want to get that right.

[@rocier]

the spinning map is completely disorienting and useless to anyone who doesn't know the area (everyone who would seek out this video).

[@TravelwJeff]

Thanks for the feedback - I'll keep that in mind

[@ToyotaCorolla-fv6zn]

It’s cow-itch-in not cowie-chin
