Most people miss Northern Vancouver Island during their British Columbia vacation, but there is so much there to explore.
Northern Vancouver Island covers the area from Campbell River north on the east coast along Island Highway 19 across to the West Coast town of Gold River and north.
Communities are surrounded by lush rainforest which is home to an abundance of wildlife such as black bears, cougars (Mountain Lion), marmots, bald eagles, elk, and deer - just to name a few. The rainforest spills right down to the coastline where the Pacific Ocean laps at the shores of the largest island on the West Coast of North America. The waters are also home to an abundance of marine mammals including killer whales, dolphins, sea lions, sea otters, and porpoises.
Activities for visitors to Northern Vancouver Island range from bird watching, kayaking, canoeing, caving, bear watching, whale watching, fishing, hiking, and biking - your only limit is your imagination!
