Nature & Hiking

Vancouver Island’s diverse landscape features the 47-meter Goldstream Niagara Falls and the multi-tiered cascades of Myra Falls in Strathcona Provincial Park. Hikers can summit Mount Albert Edward, the island's sixth-highest peak, or walk across the historic Kinsol Trestle, one of the world's tallest free-standing timber rail bridges. Coastal options include the manicured landscapes of Beacon Hill Park and the rugged shoreline at Holland Point Park. The list also includes unique geological sites like the man-made Hole-in-the-Wall and the suspension bridge at Elk Falls.
