The Best Romantic Vacations On Vancouver Island
Lovers on Vancouver Island have a lovely choice of intimate lodging, a bed and breakfast overlooking the sea, a secluded cabin or renting a vacation home. Hiking and backpacking is popular in the mountains and old growth forests. White water challenges kayakers and canoeists. Tranquil lakes and rivers are more fitting for snorkeling, swimming and backpacking. Bird watching and photography is great!
Vancouver Island is large, comparable in size to Ireland. To avoid confusion in your bed and breakfast search try the region closest to your destination. North Vancouver Island has three communities, Port Hardy, Port McNeil and Telegraph Cove. The Comox Valley is the center of Vancouver Island running from Saratoga Beach to Fanny Bay. Black Creek, Campbell River, Comox, Courtenay and Cumberland have lodging. The six villages of the Central Island are Nanaimo, Nanoose Bay, Parksville, Qualicom Bay, Tofino and Ucluelet. On the South Island look at Victoria, Sooke and Cowichan Valley. Bed and Breakfasts may offer a variety of amenities, private entrance, balcony with barbecue, hot tub, breakfast in the room, patios and use of bicycles and kayaks.
