North Central Vancouver Island
Quadra Island
The heart and hub of the Discovery Islands, beautiful Quadra Island is a mere 10-minute ferry trip from Campbell River but feels like a whole new world. “Escape, Discover, Connect” is Quadra Island’s slogan and it suits this laid-back island that welcome visitors from all walks of life and from all over the world who appreciate peace, beauty, wilderness, and nature.
For a look into First Nations heritage, visit the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre, which showcases artifacts, ceremonial regalia, and a carving and artists’ centre. Other historic sites to check out include petroglyphs on the beach at Tsa-Kwa-Luten, the Heriot Bay Inn, built in 1894; the graveyard, which dates back to 1913; the Lucky Jim Mine; and Cape Mudge lighthouse, established in 1898.
The kayaking, diving, mountain biking, and fishing on Quadra Island are exceptional and everything you need is available on the island — charters, rentals, lessons, and guides. With 16 well-established trails offering amazing views, the hiking on Quadra Island is outstanding.
Rebecca Spit Provincial Park, with its lovely rocky beaches and pleasant 50-minute walking trail, is a must see on any visit to Quadra Island. Browsing galleries and studios is another great activity: the creative spirit is strong here and is reflected in the quality work produced by the island’s artisans. Ask at the Visitor Centre about self-guided studio tours.
Cortes Island
Placid lakes, rugged gorges, and shellfish-rich beaches make Cortes Island one of the most impressive islands in the Discovery Islands and a magnet for nature lovers and boaters. Great things to do include exploring the old whaling station, canoeing, swimming in Hague Lake, checking out the museum and relaxing on the beach at Manson’s Landing, beachcombing at Smelt Bay Provincial Park, and hiking at Hague Lake Park and Gunflint Lake.
Gold River
The village of Gold River is the gateway to Nootka Sound and the homeport for marine tours of Nootka Sound and Friendly Cove, where you can experience the rich history of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations. Gold River is also the starting point for some outstanding outdoor adventures, such as fishing, hiking, mountain and rock climbing, diving, kayaking, eco-touring, and scenic air tours. Caving is one of the area’s top activities and has earned Gold River a reputation as a caving capital. The Upana Caves are the most accessible; maps for self-guided tours are at the Village Office and Visitor Centre.
Gold River also offers excellent fishing, and if you want to learn why, visit the Conuma Hatchery where about 12 million fish are hatched every year. In the fall, you can see salmon returning to the hatchery river to spawn. Other ways to enjoy Gold River include tours of forestry operations, marine sites, and a copper-zinc mine, as well as family fun at the recreation centre and golf at a top-ranked nine-hole course.
Tahsis
The Nootka Sound port of Tahsis is tucked into the wilderness overlooking Tahsis Inlet and surrounded by the Rugged Mountain Range. Scenic sights include Three Sisters Waterfalls and 1,458-metre Conuma Peak. At sea level, Tahsis is a marine adventure mecca of fishing, kayaking, hiking, diving, surfing, bird watching, and wildlife viewing. Tahsis is also a caving hotspot; one of the most renowned caves is Thanksgiving Cave, which, at eight kilometres, is the longest cave in B.C.
Explore the picturesque townsite on a walking tour and stop in at the Tahsis Museum. If you really want to test your hiking skills, try the Ubedam Creek Trail or the Cardiac Climb. To get to Tahsis, follow the scenic Tree to Sea Drive, a well-maintained gravel road west of Gold River, or arrive by boat at local marinas.

Alpine Sports
Mount Washington Alpine Resort is a destination for year-round alpine sports and was selected by several International Olympic Committee teams as their pre-2010 team-training centre. During the winter, it bustles with activity — alpine skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. The slopes are accessed by nine lifts, including four magic carpets, two high-speed lifts, and two fixed-grip quads. The Ozone snow-tubing park is night-lit and lift-accessed for more sliding fun; night skiing is also available. Mount Washington also has 55 kilometres of cross-country trails and 20 kilometres of snow trails. In the warmer months, Mount Washington is a big hit with hikers and mountain bikers. An exciting summer attraction is the chairlift that takes you up for a panoramic view of the area.
Mount Washington is one of two ski areas in the Vancouver Island region, the other being Mount Cain in the North Island.
