How to Travel Vancouver Island. Vancouver Island is one of my favourite places in Canada. Filled with the Pacific Northwest Vibes of Tofino, the beautiful trails of Sooke & Port Renfrew and the historical city of Victoria. Hopefully, this Vancouver Island Travel Guide can help you plan your next trip to Tofino, Sooke, Port Renfrew, Sombrio Beach, Sandcut Falls, Sooke Potholes, Victoria or the Goldstream Trestle!

Seeking Justice its twice the size of the Hawaiian islands, three times the size of Jamaica. A whole Jamaica larger than Israel. Its the 43rd largest island in the world considering there is 2000+ islands in the world oceans alone so by definition its in the top 2% of the world island sizes

I'm planning a roadtrip in Febuary! Funnily enough, your itinerary is much the same as mine (i have a few extra stops planned for some hiking) and Tofino is on the maybe list for now depending if we wanna have the extra 3-4hours drive back onto our route. Would you recommend camping that time of year? While I know it doesn't get *too* cold, it's more the rain i'd be concerned about
