Vancouver Island is a traveller’s paradise. Voted Top North American Island by the readers of Condé Nast Traveller magazine for the past seven consecutive years, this temperate island in the Pacific is internationally acclaimed for its stunning natural beauty, warm island hospitality, and endless opportunities for recreation and adventure. Share a picnic lunch amidst an ancient rainforest. Get up close and personal with a killer whale. Cycle for miles through winding country roads and vineyards. The choice is yours and the opportunities are endless.

On the northern tip of Vancouver Island’s breathtaking Saanich Peninsula, lies the charming seaside town of Sidney-by-the-Sea. A point of arrival for many visitors to Vancouver Island, Sidney is located just minutes from the Victoria International Airport, BC Ferries and Washington State ferry terminals. And with the Gulf Island National Park Reserve, Butchart Gardens, and Saanich Peninsula farms and wineries all close at hand, Sidney offers the ideal hub to explore southern Vancouver Island and the surrounding Gulf Islands.
