Welcome to The Islands

After catching your first salmon on the Campbell River, you’re sure to be hooked on British Columbia’s Vancouver Islands! But, fantastic fishing is just the beginning of this ocean-side region, encompassing Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and parts of the British Columbia mainland. Take a whale-watching tour in Alert Bay and keep an eye out for the elusive Orca or keep your eyes on the sky - and water - for bald eagles, geese and trumpeter swans during your self-guided island bird-watching tour. Then, get a little artsy exploring Chemainus, nicknamed “Muraltown” for its tradition of painting open-air murals on its empty walls, a tradition that has spread to communities throughout the world! Begin painting your Vancouver Islands adventure, today!
