Every year, families and friends from far and wide pack up their cars, stock up on supplies and leave the city far behind. They head for the mountains, the lakes, and the rivers.
Vancouver Island is a land of dark blue seas, rugged coastlines, lush-green old growth forests, mountainous islands carving their silhouettes into distant shadows, the sight of rare orca whales leaping in arcs out of the water, and long stretches of white sandy beaches meeting the ocean. This abundance of natural beauty draws thousands of tourists annually to Vancouver Island. It's also what makes getting to, and around, Vancouver Island half of the adventure.
Scattered in the Pacific Ocean just off of mainland B.C. are a multitude of islands with gem-like brilliance. Some have emerald rainforests, others polished communities, and all are surrounded by crystal waters. Each precious rock, from large to small, has its own story and its own rhythm, appealing to a variety of residents and visitors.
Most people will shiver at the mere mention of the term Canadian Winter. Images of igloos and parkas accompanied by snowstorms and well below freezing temperatures usually prevail when one envisions January north of the 49th parallel, but those who think of Canadian winters as harsh and unforgiving probably haven't spent a winter on B.C.'s Vancouver Island, a destination known for its mild, even warm winter season.
