Here, ancient rainforest tumbles toward the Pacific. Mountains rise above deep coastal inlets. Rivers wind through a landscape alive with wildlife. Together, they shape the wild western edge of Canada.
Venture to Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island stretches for more than 450 kilometers along Canada’s Pacific coast.
Rainforests, mountains, rivers, lakes, and rugged coastline create one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems.
Clayoquot Sound, on the island’s wild west coast, is protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
First Nations have lived on Vancouver Island for thousands of years, with culture and stewardship deeply connected to the land and sea.
AT THE EDGE OF THE WILD
Vancouver Island rises from the Pacific in a tangle of ancient rainforest, mountains, rivers, and rocky shoreline. Here, towering trees meet sheltered inlets, wildlife moves between land and sea, and wilderness stretches in every direction.
