Ucluelet Lighthouse Loop

Easily one of the most scenic trips you will ever experience! Vancouver Island offers a wide range of outdoor activities, stunning natural beauty, and charming towns, so there's something for everyone to enjoy.

In May 2023, my husband and I took a 12 night road trip to British Columbia. We had an incredible experience. I am excited to share these notes from our journey. Reach out if you have questions or want to pick my brain for advice.

I personally think Vancouver Island in itself is the hidden gem of Canada, so if you're planning a trip to explore the beautiful Island, you're in for a treat! Born and raised here, I've travelled up and down the island many times to explore, hike, camp, chase waterfalls, eat, drink and be merry. I have put together a list of everything you shouldn't miss while exploring this gorgeous island! I have personally been to all these places and would absolutely recommend. I hope you enjoy! A total of 40+ things on this map: Restaurants, beaches, hikes, breweries, shopping, things to see and do to help you fall in love with Vancouver Island. I would personally recommend about 10 - 20 days to fully immerse yourself on the Island. This will ensure you don't have to drive for hours on end every single day and ensures you have ample time to explore everything and even have a bit of relaxation time in there.
