Vancouver
Island North
"The Untamed Wilderness"
A year-round outdoor adventure paradise,
the rugged north region of Vancouver Island
offers a wealth of recreation opportunities and is famous worldwide
for great fishing in spectacular settings.
Small communities such as Port McNeill, Telegraph
Cove, Port Alice and Sayward, are known for warm hospitality and friendliness.
Alert Bay
on Cormorant Island, and Sointula,
on Malcolm Island, are just offshore from Port McNeill and have
great fishing and fascinating histories. Port
Hardy, the largest North Island centre, is the starting point
for an exciting choice of adventures, including trips into coastal
wilderness of Cape Scott Provincial Park and BC Ferries' Inside
Passage voyages.
Many of the more remote
resorts and hideaways are accessible only by chartered float
plane or boat; these exciting journeys present unparalleled views
of the rugged wilderness.
Teeming with wildlife, the North
Island provides plenty of rewarding opportunities for nature enthusiasts
and photographers. A number of wildlife watching excursions
are available from local operators.
