Your Portal to Sustainable Experiential Travel on Vancouver Island

The Author – Kim Parcher

Hi, I’m Kim, the heart and soul behind Vancouver Island View. I have lived on Vancouver Island since 2009 and have been writing about the best things to see and do here since 2016.

For me, travel is all about active engagement. Because of this mindset, I have a burning passion for experiential travel. It’s the pursuit of authentic, meaningful, and immersive experiences.

It’s the exhilaration of hiking through lush forests, the thrill of searching for elusive wildlife in their natural habitats, and the joy of uncovering hidden gems.

With all of this in mind, I’ve made it my mission to bring the best of Vancouver Island to your fingertips.

So, join me as we uncover the wonders of Vancouver Island, one adventure and experience at a time.

The Blog

About Vancouver Island View

At Vancouver Island View, we’re more than just a blog. We’re your companion on the journey to explore Vancouver Island in a way that resonates with your soul. Join us as we hike through the wilds, share stories of wildlife encounters, and guide you toward unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, we’re here to make your Vancouver Island experience richer, deeper, and more transformational.

Cultural Exploration – Savor the Island’s Soul

Immerse yourself in the vibrant cultures and traditions of Vancouver Island. Our blog isn’t just about pretty landscapes – it’s about tasting local cuisine, dancing at island festivals, and connecting with warm-hearted residents. We believe that cultural exploration fosters deep connections and cherished memories.

Transformational Journeys – More than Checking Off Boxes

Experiential travel isn’t just about checking off tourist attractions. It’s a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. We’re not here to merely guide you; we’re here to inspire you. We’ll show you how visiting and sustainably exploring Vancouver Island can be a transformative experience that broadens your perspective on the world.

Slow Down and Stay Awhile

Slowing things down allows you to really experience the place you are visiting. When you aren’t rushing from one destination to the next, you can take time to immerse yourself more fully and get to know the destination’s unique charms. Spending more time in a destination creates more authentic, memorable, and meaningful travel experiences.

Van Isle View is an online resource for discovering the best of Vancouver Island.

It’s a place where locals and tourists alike find things to do.
