@fuelforthesole: Go to our profile for a link to our Complete Vancouver Island Guide with over 320 things to do, 10 itineraries and all the best spots so you don't miss a thing! 🤗🗺️ Most people only visit Victoria and Tofino… but there’s so much more worth exploring on Vancouver Island! These are three of the most underrated places on the island, according to me (a local) 👇 1. Bamfield – We love this remote, tiny town for its rugged beauty and wild beaches like Pachena Bay and Brady’s Beach. 2. Campbell River – The adventure capital of the island, known for eco-tourism, whale watching, and being the gateway to Strathcona Provincial Park. 3. Port Alberni – In my opinion, the most underrated place on Vancouver Island. We love the mountain views, waterfalls, Sproat Lake, and the growing craft beer scene. Which one would you want to visit first? 😏 #vancouverisland #vancouverislandguide #bamfield #campbellriver #portalberni

I would go back to Bamfield. I haven't been there since 1989.

It’s Sproat Lake, not sprout lake! (Pet peeve of mine) 😂

Benable was mentioned already but seriously you should definitely get on it and monetise 🤩

Pilot Landa :

People should stop using “in the world” when I heard that automatically I know that person haven’t been in many places

Melanie McCollum59 :

I was with you until you said Port Alberni

Chase 🇨🇦 :

I agree, Port Alberni is actually pretty underrated! If you're there you need to check out Porto Taco and try their Taco Salad!

Haley Fowler13 :

if you're in Port Alberni, you have to go to the Donut Shop. it's the law, you can't argue with it 🤣

Thanks for mentioning Port Alberni. We get a bad rap here but we don't have any more problems than other places and we have an amazing outdoor life and some of the best brew pubs and restaurants. I personally love living here.

Heather Rae :

I grew up in Bamfield 70’s and 80’s. My heart will always be on Pachena and Brady’s Beach. Much love ❤

Jess is mildly creative 🇨🇦 :

If you go to Port Alberni make sure you stop at Coombs country candy!! Amazing candies, brittles, ice cream and more!
