Vancouver itself is located in the province of British Columbia, exactly across the strait from it - the eponymous island, whose capital is proudly named Victoria. The beauty of the island since the earliest times has amazed and amazed all travelers who managed to get to these places. But, despite our century of high technologies, on the island today you can find places that were not touched by the hands of a civilized person.

In the very center of the island of Vancouver, Stratcona Park is comfortably located. Once upon a time there was a very swampy area, completely unfit for habitation and agriculture. But eventually the swamps were drained, turning into a very beautiful place. The central figure of the park is the fountain, which was presented by Lord Stratcon (hence the name of the park).

Very popular with tourists and a footpath called West Coast Trail, whose length is 75 km. Today this path is landscaped, many bridges and ladders have appeared over the gorges, trailers for crossing over the canyons have been made, so today's tourist can overcome this trail in 5-7 days.

But there are people who simply can not travel without comfort. For them on the island built comfortable hotels, which are located on the very shore of the Pacific Ocean. Excellent food, comfort and excellent service are the main motto of these hotels and boarding houses. And sometimes from the window of your room you can even see a whale playing in the ocean.
