DONT travel by ferry without a reservation.
Thanks for your valuable tipps. But why for heaven’s sake this terrible background music??
I want to go to Kuala Lumpur will you ever go to Dubai?
One day we’ll go to Dubai. Hopefully soon.
Don’t forget Ucluelet, great friendly town 🥰
Sorry electric cars are lacking stations to charge on the island
Camping in Victoria……where? With homeless on Pandora ?
Two months to see island??? Who are you people?
Averages 50 miles wide and 285 miles length…..not 100 wide
Lived on the island for over 30 years NEVER booked a reservation BUT never travel on a long weekend….that is awful and even with a reservation the lineups so long you miss your reservation
Speed limit between qualicum beach and Nanaimo used to be 130km
Do not feed the bears, it is a death sentence for the bear. They get comfortable with people and then they’re put down as a “problem bear” , and the fines are very heavy to the feeders. Enjoy them from a very safe distance as they can run way faster than you. Come and enjoy our Island paradise, if you like being out doors there’s a ton of great activities to do.
How about providing public housing a well paid jobs
FYI... Beach fires of the sort shown in this video are not allowed on Tofino beaches. They've been banned since before this video was even posted. Propane fires are allowed as are vented wood burning fire rings that lift the fire off the sand.
This is incorrect. Beach fires are permitted only on Mackenzie and Chesterman beaches
I’m just starting to plan when and where to go and wondered where the long tail boats you hire are?
They are everywhere. You’ll find them easily. The one we rented was in Krabi
Jaco Beach is a very popular destination, be very aware of rip tides, many deaths, and I have seen warning signs taken down . I experienced one, they are no joke, also lot's of crime. On the way many people stop at the crock bridge and their cars get robbed of everything.
You think you can see the entire island with a 2 month vacation? Haha, I have lived here for my entire life 60 years this July and I have not seen every part of the island, there are many places that you want and must see but you need a 4x4 to get there but it is well worth it.
I have no clue what you are talking about. Brentwood Bay has bears always
Just for entertainment purposes, tell people on the island that you’re from Alberta and watch their attitudes towards you change. Most pride themselves on being all “inclusive and accepting” but they generally are anything BUT that towards their neighbours to the east. It wouldn’t really matter except it kinda flies in the face of being so “inclusive and accepting.” It’s not the case with everyone of course but there’s a very strong flavour of that. I know many people who work in the oilfield in Alberta who come from the island and they have to make up a story about what they do for work so their neighbours don’t shun them for it. It’s the only place in the world where I’ve been yelled at (on a few different occasions) while in traffic, just for the colour of my licence plate. But you’re right, the island is a beautiful place and most of the people are as well. I hope we can all be more accepting of others right here in our own country. We may not always agree on everything but we need each other.
THETIS LAKE SAFETY WARNING: Please DO NOT suggest to tourists to "swim out to the island." Every single year, some foolish tourist/visiting International student decides to try it & guess what?? SOMEONE DROWNS every darn year. Besides, there are MANY LAKES on our Island, go up island & leave it for us locals plz.
Plus the water is not freezing cold.
are you sure?
@@yk6474 Yes I used to live in Moncton. Been to Parlee Beach lots.
I guess you have never been to Parlee Beach in Pointe du Chene New Brunswick. Better than Tofino any day. You can go out at low tide a very long way. I grew up in the area and have been to Tofino and Long Beach here. Parlee beach is longer than Long Beach LOL.
Nope never been. Lots of beautiful beaches in the world. Will have to go there one day.
Don't forget to leave. We are full.
Couldn’t agree more. We love you to visit, but not for long, and yes, please go home. We don’t have a waitlist and we’re are over full as it is.
Most roads are 60 km/hr? Hmmm…not anywhere that I can think of except urban areas. Hwy 19 is 110 km/hr from Parksville north and 80 or 90 for most of even the Malahat (except for a short stretch through the goldstream area. Granted, on a trip from Qualicum Bay to Victoria (175 Km), you will average around 80 km/hr. The highway is mostly 4 lane but not a freeway and goes through Ladysmith and Duncan and there are numerous traffic lights to contend with. Google maps says it will take 2 hrs 36 minutes, where it normally takes me 2 hours pretty much on the nose and I’m travelling with the flow and not being aggressive.
Don't forget the Comox airport, the gateway to the Comox Valley for golf Skiing on Mt. Washington hiking, biking swimming and lots more. The annual Music festival in July
In the summer the ferries are busy and reservations are just a rip off, be prepared to wait, avoid the weekends, also the food is terrible and expensive! Everything is expensive in BC especially Vancouver Island. The best way to really see the Island is with a 4x4 or offroad bike and go camping with the bears and cougars. Avoid places like Tofino!
This is so helpful
Glad we could help.
if you go swimming when the tide comes in, the water is warmer, especially at rathtrevor in parksville just be careful where you set up blankets and chairs because when the tide comes in it comes in fast. and there are a lot of bears and cougars on the island so be careful out hiking, chances are slim to come across any but they are there.
lots of bears here in central Island
Tofino shmofino. North island is king.
Thank you helps so much
I am from the island and here’s my don’t: don’t listen to this video. Thetis is nasty. Well thetis is nasty at the main beach so go around it and find a more secluded spot to swim. Also most of this don’t listen to it go wherever and do whatever
Waze!!!!
Last two years i have not a total of 48 beaches. Never stay in one spot.
Is it advisable to visit now when it will be raining in weekend.please advise..Very clueless should we cancel the trip amd postpone for summer month?
It is supposed to rain this weekend. But it is a good time to see waterfalls. But the summer is much warmer
Yes, reserving a spot on the ferry for a mere $18 is better than just driving to the terminal and hoping to get on. But a MUCH better option is to PREPAY for your ferry ride in advance, on the BC Ferries website. The $18 fee is waived completely, and if you reserve a less popular time, you can get on the ferry with your car for as little as $60.
I found this spot by accident while poking around on Google Earth. Seriously, such a gorgeous place!
As someone who lived on Vancouver island their whole life. I wouldn’t recommend Thetis lake sure it’s cool if you plan on paddle boarding swimmer or kayaking to the island but I you plan on swimming near the beach it gets really busy. I would recommend going in the morning if you want to go to thetis lake.
Coooosta Rica, not Casta Rica. Good video
Is true that Costa Rican homes are infested with Cucarrachas?
Many of the roadways are narrow and winding, with no sidewalks so don't ride your bikes, or walk, in anything other than single file at the edge of the road, and use any available off-road trails. Just because it's a vacation destination, the cars aren't made of marshmallow. DON'T forget you are visiting someone else's home, not a theme park. Treat the place and its people with respect.
Born and Raised On Vancouver Island. Moved to Alberta for 2 years...Big Mistake, The island is where its at! Can't wait to get back home and go Tubing!
Great advice. If those gas prices scare you, then don't ever come to New Zealand. 50% plus dearer.
Excellent video.Thanks for the tips!! 😋🩷🌸
You’re welcome
He looks so cute
What papers are you speaking about when you’re talking about the car insurance?
A copy of your car insurance

We are flying to Vic from Van, but on the way back... I reserved the ferry back from Victoria. What's the best way to get there from Victoria? Uber? Bus? Walk? What do you recommend. There are three of us.
Uber is the best
Thanks. Much appreciated.@@ADVENTURECAMPitelli
Great trip, what time of year did you go?
March April
Do you know what kind of snake it was they said is the most deadly?
No sorry
Probably a fer de lance, those dudes are gnarly
I cycle commute from Victoria to to Sooke on the Goose; cherish every moment on it.
