Vancouver Island's dense forests, white-capped waves, endless sandy beaches, jagged shorelines, rushing rivers, and towering glaciers provide amazing terrain for various outdoor activities.

Visitors can take advantage of the region's many scenic walking paths, hiking trails, and cycling routes. There is also plenty of opportunity for wildlife viewing, caving, and horseback riding. The region's more than 40 golf courses offer great golfing, ranging from championship level to 9-hole community courses.
