How to Plan a Vancouver Island Road Trip | Documentary and Itinerary

All the best locations and hidden gems on our road trip around Vancouver Island hitting stops in Tofino, Port Renfrew, Botanical Beach, Sombrio Beach and Sookes. We also did an amazing hike in Vancouver and enjoyed amazing food and shopping as well! We spent a total of 5 days in the area and had an amazing trip!
As usual I tried to make a blend of cinematic/documentary style footage mixed with useful information to help guide your next trip to the Vancouver area.

    Thanks for such a great video! Totally agree about the voice...very calm and relaxing to listen to. Must be all that island time. :) We are heading out to Vancouver and Vancouver Island in August....have been there a few times. When leaving Tofino I was planning to go back to Nanaimo and then to Malahat but I hadnt thought of crossing through to Port Renfrew and coming back along the coast. We were in Sooke last year and loved it. You may have changed my plans!!! Thanks again, glad you had a great experience.

    I had to stop the video and tell you you exceeded my expectations of being the narrator. Your voice was relatively calm, with a tone of confidence. I appreciate the narration. I liked that you and your friends climbed the mountain on the outskirts of Vancouver. I am sorry that you guys missed the ferry. I love Tacofino as there are Tacofinos in Victoria and Vancouver. As you mentioned, Sooke Potholes was my go-to spot when I resided in Victoria in my early 20s. You are right about Island Time. To me, Island time means slowing down and smelling the salty air. Lastly, subscribed.

    Beautiful island, we just returned last weekend from Vancouver as well for a 5-day trip, too little time too much to see... didn't make to the Victory, definitely do the next visit, Vancouver Island!

    Thanks for the video that is very much enjoyed. 3:00 mark: You faked-me out with this scene sequence, where I was sure you were headed to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal (crossing Lions Gate Bridge & driving through Stanley Park), but then you were at Horseshoe Bay terminal instead. 6:56 mark: The Tacofino lineup probably has more Instagrammers per-capita than any other piece of land on Vancouver Island, LOL. :) I enjoy these types of videos as I compare what people do in a compressed visit, to what I've done in my 55+ years on Vancouver Island. Probably the main difference as a resident is the ability to travel more slowly and in the quieter times of the year. But your video, and others like it, inspire me to consider that various places where you made effort to see in your short visit, but I still haven't seen myself. For me, that is places like Botanical Beach and that Waterfall Cave near Sombrio Beach. Thanks again for your work.

    Totally agree! I wanted to make this video based on my limited time I had while traveling there but of course there was so much more on the island I wish I could have checked out 😞
