Vancouver Island

Stepping off a boat or out of a car into the lovely city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is similar to traveling to another time and place in history.

Vancouver Island is a magical trip with kids that is often spent in Victoria, sipping tea at the Empress, wandering the famous Butchart Gardens, strolling the boardwalk looking for coffee or poutine, and feeding goats at Beacon Hill. While that is a lovely trip all in itself, Vancouver Island has a lot more rugged adventure to offer.
