Victoria and Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island is the largest island on Canada's west coast, stretching 350 miles from Victoria to Port Hardy. It is also home to BC's provincial capital, Victoria. Tour the city Londonstyle by red double-decker bus, see the Parliament Buildings and Butchart Gardens. Beyond Victoria is an island of contrasting beauty. Hear the thunder of the waves come crashing in at Pacific Rim National Park or bathe in the gentle waters of Qualicum Beach near Parksville.
