Vancouver Island offers tourists the adventure of a lifetime and is one of the few places where one can go paragliding in the morning, visit a castle in the afternoon and enjoy the lively local entertainment in the evening. If adrenaline is not your cup of tea then you can take a guided tour to visit all the amazing attractions Vancouver has to offer and learn more of its incredible history.

You can also find a myriad of recreational activities, from hiking, skiing, and kayaking for the more adventurous, to whale watching, wildlife viewing, and nature parks for wilderness enthusiasts. Even if you are not a fan of the outdoors, Vancouver Island has something for you too, as it boasts modern cities like Vancouver and Victoria that cater to the most demanding tourists with excellent restaurants, bars and shopping centers, as well as many other entertainment venues.

One of the most attractive settlements can be found west of Victoria and is famous for its cozy cabins, bed and breakfasts and cottage rentals. Sooke is one of the most popular destinations for weekend getaways, both for couples as well as families, because of the beautiful scenery and the relatively short distance from Vancouver. The weather in Sooke is ideal as it is part of a temperate rain forest and has one of the mildest climates in Canada.

Sooke offers some of the nicest cottages available anywhere which are ideal for couples on a romantic weekend or even a honeymoon. If you wish to completely relax and unwind, then you can spend a day at one of the beautiful spas in Sooke so you can be pampered from head to foot. It is also ideal for a family weekend as children can take part in many of the outdoor recreational activities, a healthy change from playing video games, and parents can relax after a long week. Another ideal setting for the whole family to spend time together is the lovely French Beach Provincial Park. A beautiful pebble and sand beach that has a fully equipped playground, tables and barbecue pits, the French Beach Provincial Park is the perfect backdrop for the whole family to have fun.

The idyllic Southern Gulf Islands are the perfect romantic getaway for a couple. These sleepy little islands create the perfect atmosphere for a couple that wants nothing more than to enjoy each others company and the amazing scenery. The secluded beaches and coves provide the perfect hideaway for couples who want to enjoy a day out in nature but be far from prying eyes.

The lovely little cottages available for rent in the small villages that dot the islands are the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
