Many people come to the market to shop or get a bite to eat, but there are some who simply make the trek to see the furry beasts on the market rooftop.

Great short hike to spectacular Elk Falls. Suspension bridge over the Canyon and falls. Multiple short hikes along the river and through the rain forest. I sat on the waters edge and soaked my feet in the cool water up stream of the Elk Falls near a second set of falls. I wish I would have taken my bathing suit so I could have taken a swim. There were others swimming in the river and the lake.

Not many people know this place to visit. But you will be amazed by its outstanding views. Its best for watching sun go down. Please be aware that it is a cliff without fence. It is not good if you have any young kids.

Great park! An hour-hour and a half long hike will bring you to two gorgeous waterfalls; wear hiking shoes as the dirt path gets quite steep and windy as you move over the first waterfall to get to the rapids that make up the second.

One of the families favorite spots in the area. Great place for kids and to use a kayak or paddleboard. No motorboats allowed so nice and quite and calm. Water is warmer than other locations. Great for fishing, hiking and kayak..

Embrace the Magic of Sunrise and Sunset! One of the most awe-inspiring experiences you can have at Mount Washington is witnessing the sunrise and sunset. Set your alarm early and make your way to the summit to catch the first light of the day painting the sky in hues of gold and pink. Alternatively, in the evening, find a cozy spot with a panoramic view and watch as the sun gently sinks behind the mountains, casting a warm glow over the valley.

Educational for you and your kids

Big Qualicum Fish Hatchery is a well laid out hatchery. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. When the salmon are spawning and heading up river they may viewed through a underground viewing station. Great experience for young and seasoned folk. You are able to watch salmon in the Big Qualicum River . Cross the bridge and walk along the banks on a gravel road. Watch for bears as they are there for food

They have all kinds of local art from incredible artists. From carved wood and stained glass, to prints on aluminum and huge canvases. Great place to get a gift, or something to remind you of the island.

Adventure, do it for FUN

A great adventure. The tour guides make the visit so much better than what it would be on our own. The 1 hr tour is accessible to anyone who can easily go up and down steep stairs. Wear long pants, good shoes (no sandals) and a thin sweater.

Definitely a place you’ll want on your bucket list if you’re in the area. The forest is sacred so please be respectful and obey the signs and pathways. There are lots of places where you can climb logs and touch trees as well as take pictures and access the creek without going off the path. They put a lot of effort into making the forest accessible without disturbing the beautiful scenery.
