    Check out some smaller islands off the main island. Lots of little artistic communities. Don’t just hit the big spots. Comox Valley is beautiful There are some old growth cedar walks off the coast in tofino (careful Tofino is as expensive as you can imagine) that are amazing (of you can’t manage the boat ride check out cathedral Grove near Port Alberni). Campbell River is a quaint town with great fishing, BC is full of forestry roads with great little remote campsites (on any given day you can have a lake all to yourself in many places if you just ask around town), surfing is pretty big on the island take a lesson or rent some gear, super fun for everyone. The Northern part of the island is not to be forgotten. The people are amazing and though the terrain can be harsh it is amazingly beautiful and remote.

      Amazing. Thanks! These look like some great areas to explore. Added them to my research list.

        I spent a lot of time on the island being a surf bum and driving around to beautiful places. If you need anymore pointers or have questions feel free to ask.
