West Coast
Vancouver Island

Travel to the Pacific Rim
of Canada

The West Coast Vancouver Island, the island Pacific Rim is the wild and wooly west.

The West Coast is noted for its challenging West Coast Trail, for big wave surfing and for storm watching.

In addition, many are drawn to the rugged beauty of the coastline and to the luxury resorts in Tofino and Ucluelet.

The West Coast has excitement and solitude and it has lovely plants and wild animals—to please even the most particular nature lover…

The West Coast of British Columbia’s Vancouver Island is not heavily populated. And, in addition, it tends to be on the wild side.

While there are lovely luxury resorts that will provide rainwear for storm watching, and lessons for surfing big waves, there are also campgrounds where you can get away from it all.

On the West Coast, you’ll need to be careful about how you handle food and garbage. That’s because you will be sharing the land with bears, wolves, and cougars.

And, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to photograph some of the world’s most interesting creatures…
