Premium Deal Alert: 24 February 2025

Paradise without a passport? Challenge accepted!

We've probably all heard it: "You have to see Vancouver Island at least once in your lifetime" Yeah, good luck.

You'll come for one summer, fall in love with the ocean views and distinct lack of soul-crushing winter, and before you know it, you're in a Kijiji trance, scrolling ads titled "Lightly Used Sprinter-Perfect for Van Life!". 

Tofino's hardly a hidden corner and can get pretty darn crowded in peak summer. Meaning you probably should've booked your accommodation, like, yesterday or consider turning left for Ucluelet instead, it's just as stunning. 

Comox is for those of you that prefer peace and quiet,with Strathcona Provincial Park boasting some of the best hikes on the island. Think alpine lakes, glacier-fed rivers and remote landscapes further north. 

There's nowhere better to reconnect with mother nature and finally land on the perfect name for your van. Wanda? Vanny Devito? Homer the Honda Element? 

Don't rush it, it'll come to you.
