Vancouver Island is renowned for water-based recreation and exploration, but there is also a lot of land-based recreation available. The island has
such a variety of ecosystems that someone looking for a multi-day hike adventure has many
choices.
You want mountains?
Head to Strathcona Park where you will find a number of over-night or longer
hikes that will take you to a number of iconic mountains in the park, such as
Mt. Albert Edward.

Looking for the
southern rugged shores? Head to the Juan de Fuca Trail.
The West Coast Trail
is a world-famous trail that requires signing up to a waiting list at least a
year in advance to even get to hike it.
Looking for remote?
Head over to Nookta Island and the multi-day trail there. Or drive to the
northern tip of the island and hike the Cape Scott Trail, along boardwalks and
mud, and then move onto the North Coast Trail which extends from the Cape Scott
Trail.

Want to add some
canoeing into the hiking adventure? Della Falls, Canada’s highest waterfall, is
the spot for you.
There are many more
that can be done by pushing in one long day or split more comfortably into two
days. The island is absolutely the place for outdoor adventuring of all kinds,
including serious hiking.
