I must say I'm "hooked" on the channel. Seeing your notifications, I know I'm off on another adventure with you guys. Vancouver Island certainly didn't disappoint. Stay safe and enjoy.
The opening with Kona was so cute! And as soon as I saw the ferry, I thought "I hope they get Nanaimo bars," and you did! Happy Vancouver Island exploring!
My Joanns and I honey mooned on the island in 2002. We had so much fun. Stayed a week at Long Beach in an awesome condo on the water by a lighthouse. Lots of wonderful memories. Thank you. My husband passed two years ago. I really want to go back.
The Pros and Cons of why we watch your channel. I really appreciate all the time and energy that it takes to do the researching and the editing. I'm not a foodie but all of the descriptions you do of the food always makes me hungry. The filming of the scenery always makes me want to get on the road. You even made a 10 minute construction stop interesting. I like watching your silly goofy dancing and fighting the wind moves. Some outtakes might be fun. Now for the cons…….. Well can't think of any. Keep doing what you're doing we really enjoy it. Happy trails.
Thank you so much! We love filming and sharing a mix of activities and experiences. Anything after the ending screen is what we call our outtakes or bloopers. We share everything we have in that regard if it’s appropriate. Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Born and raised on Northern Vancouver Island. 🤗 If you ever get a chance, check out Malcom island, you ferry over from Port McNeil (20min ride) Go to - Bere Point Campsites- The whales (orcas) Actually Rub on these Beaches. It's a sight to see, if you can get there the right time of year! 🤍 🐾
We would love to come back and go more north than Campbell River. We loved everywhere we went on the island and up north seemed like a lot of fun. And we'll be adding Malcolm Island and Bere Point Campsites to our list! That sounds incredible! Thanks!
Hi, new friends...from a new subbie. You have captured the very essence of Vancover Island. Although I live just over the water in Washington State and can visit Cypress and Fir trees outside my own door....there is yet another magic in Vancouver Island....especially where you followed literally in our footsteps. My handsome Prince and I have made many trips there.... I'm glad we didnt know our last trip to Tofino was to REALLY be our LAST trip due to age, health and inability to travel.... Thanks for sharing with us. I'm looking forward to your whole trip. *Recliner Babe*
Always interesting to see our home from the perspective of other people visiting. We never take it for granted how fortunate we are to be born and raised here. Great video guys!
I spent a lot of time exploring Vancouver Island while I was living in Parksville back in 2004. Your trip to Tofino brought back a lot of good memories of that time. Thank you.
Vancouver Island is so beautiful!! We visited there on honeymoon--the western most destination on honeymoon--a trip by train across Canada by train from Toronto. Thanks for the return trip after many years!! Another wonderful video!!!
So cool that you're touring Vancouver Island! I visited it several times in the 1980s and 1990s. A friend and I camped for free at a beachfront property that was for sale in Tofino. When the tide was out we saw a weathered totem pole half buried in the sand as well as a VW bug? buried upside down with its wheels exposed. We saw a sunflower starfish washed up on shore. We shared our campsite with a snake too. I also solo camped years later at Little Qualicum Falls campground and walked the same loop path you did. My boyfriend and I stayed at Hollyhock Resort on Cortes Island too and a chipmunk bounced on our tent's rainfly! It was fun to watch your latest episode as you toured Vancouver Island. The Sonoma Bacon Chips looked tasty. I just ate some Avocado chips as I watched your blog. Happy trails! Jenny Seattle, WA 🙂
Sounds like a crazy fun trip! Our trip there wasn’t that wild, but we still had a blast! We have some avocado chips in our hanger box as well! Thanks for watching!
I live on Van island….in Parksville, just north of Nanaimo. Thanks for reminding me how I take it all for granted. I think it’s just about the best place on earth to live. I’m twenty minutes from Englishman river falls, and five minutes from Parksville beach. It rains a lot, but that’s ok. Everything is lush and green here.
I was so excited to see this video because I have a relative living on Gabriola Island one half hour by ferry from Nanimo. These are places they often refer to and talk about.
So many parks! It's like to take 10 steps and "oh, there's another one." Not that I'm complaining, they're all gorgeous. I definitely want to check out the island when I make it back to BC.
Gorgeous! I have only seen such a small portion of the Island!!! Didn't realize I was missing so much. I am loving your videos guys. Keep up the great work!
ahh! The joy is palpable. I love ferry rides as much as you all. We did Madeline Island in Wisconsin last year and took our car across, with our dog as well! So fun. What a gorgeous area...Already my head is spinning about a visit there. Looking forward to more!
Love your video! I'm born and raised on Vancouver Island and have never left. You did a beautiful job glamorizeing the bc ferry experience! Great locations you show cased. I'm so glad you tried our Nanaimo bar! Nanaimo is my hometown and I think everyone needs to try a Nanaimo bar!
Wow!!! Vancouver Island is gorgeous!! All those powerful waterfalls!! And those Nanaimo Bars!! Btw, I loved Kona’s blep in the video! And Kathryn, please rap for us in a future video!!!!!
The island is super gorgeous! We had to look up what a blep is so thank you for opening our eyes to a new word! We’ll see where we can fit in a few rap lines soon! 🤪
How beautiful is that place? My gosh! Even with all the waterfalls, I think my favorite shot was on the shore of Cameron Lake. Y’all just make me want to retire 19 months early and hit the road! Great video. Have fun! 👍
This was great! I knew nothing about Vancouver Island so I really enjoyed this video and I am looking forward to the future ones! My sister-in-law’s niece (from husband’s side) lives on Vancouver Island so now I get to see where she lives and why she and her family moved there! Well, another place to add to my list!! :). :). :)
You guys travel so well! Nanaimo bars, hiking, lunch with views of the water, and the ferry ride looked amazing! Didn’t even know Vancouver Island was a place, but now it’s on our bucket list!
Just realized that we have never been to anywhere else on the island besides Victoria and the gardens! What a beautiful place! That's now on my bucket list!
Another gem - thank you! Falls were gorgeous! LOVE Kona's tongue at 7:33 btw. :) Also, those Nanaimo Bars looks FABULOUS! Gonna find a recipe and try to make a batch. Glad to see some more dancing at the end. And the singing - top notch!
I just found your channel. I'm surprised and disapointed that you didn't check out some of the Gulf Islands. I enjoy watching people discover the paradise that I call home.
Wow what an amazingly beautiful area with so many stops along the way. Loved the yawning Kona and "I smell bacon". It all makes us want to go there. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful island! The ferry ride looked like a lot of fun (I loved our ferry ride to Bainbridge Island)! Those water falls, Kona shots and Nanaimo bars 😋! I cannot wait to watch more Vancouver Island videos! Safe travels 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
Your vlogs are so interesting. We have stayed on Vancouver island in Parksville and we loved it. Next time, we want to drive over to Tofino. I am looking forward to your Alaskan adventure.
Just came back from a camping trip, saw the red little dot notification, yeahhhh! I love the way you guys produce these videos, always with so much positive attitude and energy, I see you guys appreciate the good or the bad, because it is a real journey. Through your lenses I get to see the familiar and unfamiliar places, different kinds of food, oh, and coffee ☕️! Congratulations on 6K more subscribers in just a few weeks. Keep doing what you are doing, you are making a big impact on me and believe me you are making a big impact on a lot of people!
You Guys are Awesome, I would Love to explore Vancouver Island, It is SOOO beautiful up there, I just told my wife I promise I will take you there, Good Luck on your travels.
I love seeing everyone coming to the island and think tofino is the nicest place on the island but if you really wanna see open roads and beautiful beaches you need to head up island towards woss there is some amazing back country and wild life all over the place
Ya for sure. This was only our second visit to the island and we wanted to check out the major destinations. On our next visit we’ll get more into the backcountry. We’d love to check out Malcolm Island and some of the other inland towns like you mentioned. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING👍👍👍! The ferry ride was awesome and the beautiful terrain and those HUGE TREES. and such a SPECTACULAR drive across the island. OUTSTANDING👍👍👍! I can't wait to see what's next...Victoria? Hmmm...
Up until that backup due to construction, I was thinking how nice it was to have the ferry & the island pretty much to yourselves! Such splendid visuals! I could almost inhale the outdoors filled with the scent of pine & all that cool,fresh air!🌲Living the dream! 💚Sweet hugs to Kona.🥰
Ya know even though we were there on a Canadian holiday weekend we didn’t notice many people in most places we went! We were confused, but pleasantly surprised! It’s so gorgeous on Vancouver Island and it’s one of our favorite places!
Bocca makes great Nanaimo bars so you were good. The absolute best are homemade ones! You guys are now on Island time, enjoy! Island time is take it easy and go slow time ❤️
A big hello from Nanaimo! Glad you had a chance to see some of the beauty our little island has to offer. Bocca’s Nanaimo Bars are so good! I work one street from them so their goodies are far too accessible if you know what I’m mean 😆 My husband is a deckhand on the departure bay route of the ferries and I think I saw him in your clips! How fun! Enjoys your stay and I hope that you have an amazing time 😊
Your vlogs are really vibrant. I recognize your efforts in showing us all about, the hard work. made in editing and so on. The magnific landscapes are breathtaking, the forests, waterfalls are astonishing. We all watch your videos smiling 🤩🌲🌷
Dang. I recently moved to Vancouver and didn’t know the island looked like this. Y’all are true adventurers. Feel like I’m missing out lol thanks for the video.
We loved seeing Vancouver Island through your lens. Thanks for sharing! In other news we recently returned from Maine and hit lots of spots featured or mentioned in your videos - Holy Donut, Bite Into Maine, Lucky Catch Cruises, Beehive hike in Acadia, etc. Many thanks!
I continue to look forward to each and every video on your adventure to Alaska. They are always fresh, positive and fun and so well produced. I love seeing Kona in your videos. Kona has to be just about the most traveled dog I have ever heard of. Not sure how many miles and states Kona has traveled too, but I am sure an amazing number and now a second country Canada!! Looking forward to all your videos to come.
Can’t wait to see your Tofino adventures! We were there 5 years ago and stayed in Uculet and hiked the Wild Pacific Trail too. We are almost done converting our new sprinter van and Tofino is on our list of places to go back to. So cool that there’s an RV campground there! I saved the info for when we head out that way. One of the coolest hiking trails was the Tonquin Trail. It has a really neat boardwalk that I think you’d like (if you haven’t done it already) 😀
Tofino is so beautiful and so fun! And the whole island really! Surf Grove, the campground we stayed in, was really really nice! We didn’t do the Tonquin Trail. We’ll add that to our list for next time! Thank you!
I am not really one for coconut but that dessert with the chocolate ganache on top makes me change my mind that maybe I should try thank you so much for all your videos so much fun to watch
I just caught your travel channel. Welcome to Vancouver Island. My husband and I live in Port McNeill which is about 4 hours north from Nanaimo. My mother-in-law lives in Nanaimo. Are you heading this way as it is gorgeous and so much more to see. Especially Telegraph Cove and whale watching.
Late to the party as I've been island adventuring too, but my goodness, this video has cemented my need to return to this gorgeous area of the world. When I visited Vancouver Island all those years ago, our budget was super tight so car rental was out of the question and we only visited Victoria and Tofino as these were well served by public transport. We took the clipper over to Victoria from Seattle like you did on your last visit - I remember being so torn about the cost, but it was going to give a whole extra day if we didn't faff with the greyhound to Vancouver and then ferry across. To get back, we took a bus from Tofino to Vancouver that included the ferry cost so skipped absolutely everything you showed me in this video, and the FOMO is very real right now (if you change fear to feeling 🤣)! You guys did well to capture the bear, even if it was just a small snippet - your reactions were just as good as I know I'd be reacting in exactly the same way!! I shockingly never ate a Nanimo bar the whole year I lived in Canada, so that alone is a reason to return as they look amazing! I think the highlights of this were the Englishman River Falls and the little Qualicum Falls, but the lighthouse loop was gorgeous too! I'm so pleased you're back in areas I've been to as I love trips down memory lane thanks to you guys! ❤
Oh ya you’ve gotta get back to Vancouver Island when you can! It deserves a proper exploration! And yes the Nanaimo bar alone is worth the visit! The waterfalls were 😍😍
I live here I knew all those stops would slow you down but totally worth it to bad you didn't get to see more. Happy to see the much needed construction on the road out there
Wow! Vancouver Island is beautiful!! I had no idea! When you said you paid $250 to ferry over, I was shocked. That's a lot. However, once I saw all the waterfalls and cute towns.... worth it! I want to plan a trip there now😅
I am from Minnesota and the Nanaimo bar sounds VERY similar to the Prayer Bar layers we make at Christmas time but they are much thinner layers & only 1.5 " x 1.5" squares.
Beautiful island. Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing with all of us stuck at home and work. Counting down until I get to hit the road. Have fun you two, or I should say you three.
We're doing all the hard work of eating Nanaimo bars, hiking, and hopefully capturing the beauty for the folks at home! We're happy to share and extremely thankful and grateful for what we get to do! Us three are having a blast! Thanks for watching as always!

I must say I'm "hooked" on the channel. Seeing your notifications, I know I'm off on another adventure with you guys. Vancouver Island certainly didn't disappoint. Stay safe and enjoy.
Wahoo! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for doing such a beautiful job of showing our beautiful Island home!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
The opening with Kona was so cute! And as soon as I saw the ferry, I thought "I hope they get Nanaimo bars," and you did! Happy Vancouver Island exploring!
Oh you HAVE to get Nanaimo bars! We had a fantastic time on the island! Kona loved it too!
My Joanns and I honey mooned on the island in 2002. We had so much fun. Stayed a week at Long Beach in an awesome condo on the water by a lighthouse. Lots of wonderful memories. Thank you. My husband passed two years ago. I really want to go back.
We're sorry to hear of your loss! We're glad we could bring back happy memories and we hope you can go back! Thanks for watching, Donna!

Can I just say “ Ditto!” to your comment except the part about not being a foodie. I am such a fan of them & this vlog!💝
Thank you so much! We love filming and sharing a mix of activities and experiences. Anything after the ending screen is what we call our outtakes or bloopers. We share everything we have in that regard if it’s appropriate. Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Thank you! We love sharing and learning about food! ☺️
Another ditto here. Fantastic scenery!
We live in Nanaimo & this is one of the best Island videos I have seen.
Thank you! That means a lot coming from a local!
More green more water. Unique and especially beautiful.
Beautiful!
Beautiful pacific northwest!!!
I’ve never seen a travel video dedicated to Vancouver island. Good job highlighting some quick hikes.
4 more to come! Thanks!
Born and raised on Northern Vancouver Island. 🤗 If you ever get a chance, check out Malcom island, you ferry over from Port McNeil (20min ride)
Go to - Bere Point Campsites- The whales (orcas) Actually Rub on these Beaches. It's a sight to see, if you can get there the right time of year! 🤍 🐾
We would love to come back and go more north than Campbell River. We loved everywhere we went on the island and up north seemed like a lot of fun. And we'll be adding Malcolm Island and Bere Point Campsites to our list! That sounds incredible! Thanks!

Oh we would love to do a train trip across Canada! Thanks for watching!
I was in Nanaimo this summer and did the exact tour. So lovely to see it all again
A cool ferry ⛴️ ride to the island 2 beautiful waterfalls and a Bear 🐻 life doesn't get better then that!
You got that right!
Wow. Stunning. Another fab video, thanks for sharing, I can’t even imagine the height of some of those trees!
Thank you so much! Yes they were super duper tall! 🌲🌲
Yeah, I got to see a dancing finale. “I’m on a boat.” Got me laughing out load Kathryn. You guys are so blessed to be living that life.
Lots of dancing to come! We love that silly song! We probably sing it to ourselves or whoever we're with on every boat we get on!
Been to Vancouver but never to Vancouver Island. Definitely on my bucket list to see! The waterfalls were beautiful!!
There were so many waterfalls and parks to see! The island is whole other world from Vancouver! If get back in the area it is a must visit!
Your enthusiasm for seeing and experiencing new places is contagious!
We're glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Nanaimo is the most beautiful city on the Island and it always get overlooked.
So cool that you're touring Vancouver Island! I visited it several times in the 1980s and 1990s. A friend and I camped for free at a beachfront property that was for sale in Tofino. When the tide was out we saw a weathered totem pole half buried in the sand as well as a VW bug? buried upside down with its wheels exposed. We saw a sunflower starfish washed up on shore. We shared our campsite with a snake too. I also solo camped years later at Little Qualicum Falls campground and walked the same loop path you did. My boyfriend and I stayed at Hollyhock Resort on Cortes Island too and a chipmunk bounced on our tent's rainfly! It was fun to watch your latest episode as you toured Vancouver Island. The Sonoma Bacon Chips looked tasty. I just ate some Avocado chips as I watched your blog. Happy trails! Jenny Seattle, WA 🙂
Sounds like a crazy fun trip! Our trip there wasn’t that wild, but we still had a blast!
We have some avocado chips in our hanger box as well!
Thanks for watching!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I saw the avocado chips which prompted me to eat mine! Jenny
From a Canadian, thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for watching!
So beautiful all those waterfalls
❤️💙
I live on Van island….in Parksville, just north of Nanaimo. Thanks for reminding me how I take it all for granted. I think it’s just about the best place on earth to live. I’m twenty minutes from Englishman river falls, and five minutes from Parksville beach. It rains a lot, but that’s ok. Everything is lush and green here.
We love the island! We can’t wait to come back! Thanks for watching, Sharon!
I was so excited to see this video because I have a relative living on Gabriola Island one half hour by ferry from Nanimo. These are places they often refer to and talk about.
What a gorgeous island!! Your excitement is contagious.😄 Great video!
It’s one of our favorite places!
So many parks! It's like to take 10 steps and "oh, there's another one." Not that I'm complaining, they're all gorgeous. I definitely want to check out the island when I make it back to BC.
That’s what we thought too! So many parks and beautiful things!
Great video! I am from Nanaimo and it's neat to see our island through your eyes! Have a wonderful time in Tofino!
We had a great time on the Island! Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous! I have only seen such a small portion of the Island!!! Didn't realize I was missing so much. I am loving your videos guys. Keep up the great work!
There is so much to see and do! Thank you!
Love this already! Have never or seen vlogs from Vancouver Island, looks so pretty!!
We’ll have 4 more comin atcha!
ahh! The joy is palpable. I love ferry rides as much as you all. We did Madeline Island in Wisconsin last year and took our car across, with our dog as well! So fun. What a gorgeous area...Already my head is spinning about a visit there. Looking forward to more!
The ferry rides are so fun and beautiful! Not only do you get a fun ride, but incredible views! Madeline Island looks nice!
We loved Tofino and can't wait to go back again. You two are living the good Life
Same here! Thank you!
I won’t be able to listen to music now without thinking about Kathryn’s amazing Ad-Libs. Still waiting for her to drop that album 🔥🔥🔥
Hahaha she’s good at them! We’re still working on cutting some tracks!
Love your video! I'm born and raised on Vancouver Island and have never left. You did a beautiful job glamorizeing the bc ferry experience! Great locations you show cased. I'm so glad you tried our Nanaimo bar! Nanaimo is my hometown and I think everyone needs to try a Nanaimo bar!
Oh thank you that means a lot to us coming from a local! Nanaimo bars are so tasty!
love your enthusiasm and the beautiful scenery
The views from the windows on the ferry are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
We love riding the ferries in the PNW! Thanks for watching!
I've been wanting to ferry to Vancouver island for years, when I get my 4x4. Thanks for making the video and showing the food and scenery.
It's an amazing experience! Thanks for watching!
Enjoy your time in Canada
We’re loving it! Thank you
Love your video. Thx👍
Wow!!! Vancouver Island is gorgeous!! All those powerful waterfalls!! And those Nanaimo Bars!! Btw, I loved Kona’s blep in the video! And Kathryn, please rap for us in a future video!!!!!
The island is super gorgeous! We had to look up what a blep is so thank you for opening our eyes to a new word! We’ll see where we can fit in a few rap lines soon! 🤪
How beautiful is that place? My gosh! Even with all the waterfalls, I think my favorite shot was on the shore of Cameron Lake. Y’all just make me want to retire 19 months early and hit the road! Great video. Have fun! 👍
The lakes were just as beautiful as the waterfalls!
This was great! I knew nothing about Vancouver Island so I really enjoyed this video and I am looking forward to the future ones! My sister-in-law’s niece (from husband’s side) lives on Vancouver Island so now I get to see where she lives and why she and her family moved there! Well, another place to add to my list!! :). :). :)
We loooove it here! It’s on our “maybe we’ll move here one day” list!
Waving from Salt Spring Island 🤙🏼🌴
👋
Incredible. Can't wait to see more of this place.
💙💙
You guys travel so well! Nanaimo bars, hiking, lunch with views of the water, and the ferry ride looked amazing! Didn’t even know Vancouver Island was a place, but now it’s on our bucket list!
Oooooooh yaaaaa! Nanaimo bars are the good stuff! Van Island is definitely a bucket list place! You’ll see why even more in the next 4 videos!
Another great episode. Thanks
💙💙
I am looking forward to your visit to the island as I would very much plan to visit as well. Thanks for sharing and belated congrats on 100k.
We hope our videos capture the beauty and help your future travels! Thank you!
Just realized that we have never been to anywhere else on the island besides Victoria and the gardens! What a beautiful place! That's now on my bucket list!
Oh you gotta get back there! It’s amazing! We’re so excited to share the rest of these adventures!
Wow it is so beautiful there. I can see Kona really enjoying the place too. Stay safe and see you soon ✌
Oh yes Kona loved it! Thank you!
Cool. Looking forward to your adventures around Vancouver Island! Not very familiar with it so ready for your insights!
Hopefully we captured it well! Thanks, Jamie!
Did all of Vancouver island last year from Victoria to tofino to port hardy….going back soon!
That’s an epic trip!
Whale watching out of telegraph cove was incredible!
Another gem - thank you! Falls were gorgeous! LOVE Kona's tongue at 7:33 btw. :) Also, those Nanaimo Bars looks FABULOUS! Gonna find a recipe and try to make a batch. Glad to see some more dancing at the end. And the singing - top notch!
You gotta give the Nanaimo bars a try! They are awesome! The dancing is back! :)
Vancouver Island seems awesome. Always enjoy your videos. Safe travels
Vancouver Island is one of our favorite places ever and is on our "maybe we'll live here one day" list! Thanks for watching!
I just found your channel. I'm surprised and disapointed that you didn't check out some of the Gulf Islands. I enjoy watching people discover the paradise that I call home.
So many places to see…so little time. Thanks for watching
Glad you had fun on the road trip. Those chocolate bars look delicious at the cafe. 😋 Yum!
Nanaimo bars are 🤌
Wow what an amazingly beautiful area with so many stops along the way. Loved the yawning Kona and "I smell bacon". It all makes us want to go there. Thanks for sharing.
We can’t wait to share these adventures! They were a ton of fun to film and we hope we captured the beauty well! Thanks, Bob.
Beautiful place. Only visited Victoria there but would love to be back.
There’s so much to see!
I am so excited for your videos for your Alaska trip. Your videos are awesome!
We’re pumped and excited to share! Thank you for watching!
Loved all the gorgeous scenery. It felt like the video was set in a National Park
It felt like that to us too!
My favorite part was the bacon, just kidding!! You both did a great job sharing the beauty of Vancouver Island. Never been and now I want to go there.
Bacon is always a highlight! 😂
We hope our videos capture the beauty and help your future travels!
What a beautiful island! The ferry ride looked like a lot of fun (I loved our ferry ride to Bainbridge Island)! Those water falls, Kona shots and Nanaimo bars 😋! I cannot wait to watch more Vancouver Island videos! Safe travels 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
The island was super 😍😍😍 The ferry rides are always a highlight! You would probably love the Nanaimo bars!
Your vlogs are so interesting. We have stayed on Vancouver island in Parksville and we loved it. Next time, we want to drive over to Tofino. I am looking forward to your Alaskan adventure.
We loved every minute on Vancouver Island! We’re excited to get on to Alaska! 🚐

Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING👍👍👍! The ferry ride was awesome and the beautiful terrain and those HUGE TREES. and such a SPECTACULAR drive across the island. OUTSTANDING👍👍👍! I can't wait to see what's next...Victoria? Hmmm...
We love riding on the ferries! Always beautiful views and comfortable!
Vancouver Island has been a dream! Victoria is coming soon!
Loved the video can’t wait to go to Vancouver island in July!
You’re going to love it! Hopefully our videos can help your travels!
Up until that backup due to construction, I was thinking how nice it was to have the ferry & the island pretty much to yourselves! Such
splendid visuals! I could almost inhale the outdoors filled with the scent of pine & all that cool,fresh air!🌲Living the dream! 💚Sweet hugs to Kona.🥰
Ya know even though we were there on a Canadian holiday weekend we didn’t notice many people in most places we went! We were confused, but pleasantly surprised!
It’s so gorgeous on Vancouver Island and it’s one of our favorite places!
Pleased to inform you all that that construction project is finally completed (well at least so that you can drive through)
Well done again. You guys are fast becoming our favorite travel Vloggers! Looking forward to your Alaskan journey.
Awesome! Thanks, Simon!
Bocca makes great Nanaimo bars so you were good. The absolute best are homemade ones! You guys are now on Island time, enjoy! Island time is take it easy and go slow time ❤️
They were super tasty! We'd love to make some homemade! Yum!
This is so fun. Beautiful scenery. 🌻😊🐕🇺🇸
It keeps getting better and better!
A big hello from Nanaimo! Glad you had a chance to see some of the beauty our little island has to offer. Bocca’s Nanaimo Bars are so good! I work one street from them so their goodies are far too accessible if you know what I’m mean 😆 My husband is a deckhand on the departure bay route of the ferries and I think I saw him in your clips! How fun! Enjoys your stay and I hope that you have an amazing time 😊
Those bars were very very good! That is dangerous to be so close!
Oh wow how cool! We had a fantastic time! Thanks for watching!
Great and beautiful and Boca’s looked scrumptious 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎
It sure was scrumptious!
Your vlogs are really vibrant. I recognize your efforts in showing us all about, the hard work. made in editing and so on. The magnific landscapes are breathtaking, the forests, waterfalls are astonishing. We all watch your videos smiling 🤩🌲🌷
That means a lot to us! Thank you so much for that and for watching!
So exciting you got to see a bear! The scenery is so beautiful on that island! Funky looking lighthouse, too!
We saw multiple! So cool! And ya that was a funky lighthouse!
Dang. I recently moved to Vancouver and didn’t know the island looked like this. Y’all are true adventurers. Feel like I’m missing out lol thanks for the video.
Man really appreciate you're content 🙏 always wanted to visit Canada 🇨🇦 definitely need to get my passport.
Thank you so much, Robert! Canada is an amazing place and yes you gotta get that passport and get up to Canada!
Thanks for another fun video. Great job putting it altogether. 😀👍
Thanks, Lynn!
We loved seeing Vancouver Island through your lens. Thanks for sharing! In other news we recently returned from Maine and hit lots of spots featured or mentioned in your videos - Holy Donut, Bite Into Maine, Lucky Catch Cruises, Beehive hike in Acadia, etc. Many thanks!
Oooooo! We hope you had a great time! That makes us happy to hear we were helpful!
I continue to look forward to each and every video on your adventure
to Alaska. They are always fresh, positive and fun and so well produced. I love seeing Kona in your videos. Kona has to be just about the most traveled dog I have ever heard of. Not sure how many miles and states Kona has traveled too, but I am sure an amazing number and now a second country Canada!! Looking forward to all your videos to come.
That means a lot to us. Thank you! Kona has been to 30+ states and 2 countries! She’s a travel dog for sure!
Can’t wait to see your Tofino adventures! We were there 5 years ago and stayed in Uculet and hiked the Wild Pacific Trail too. We are almost done converting our new sprinter van and Tofino is on our list of places to go back to. So cool that there’s an RV campground there! I saved the info for when we head out that way. One of the coolest hiking trails was the Tonquin Trail. It has a really neat boardwalk that I think you’d like (if you haven’t done it already) 😀
Tofino is so beautiful and so fun! And the whole island really! Surf Grove, the campground we stayed in, was really really nice! We didn’t do the Tonquin Trail. We’ll add that to our list for next time! Thank you!
I am not really one for coconut but that dessert with the chocolate ganache on top makes me change my mind that maybe I should try thank you so much for all your videos so much fun to watch
The coconut isn’t super over powering. It’s just enough to get a coconut taste and texture!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
I just caught your travel channel.
Welcome to Vancouver Island. My husband and I live in Port McNeill which is about 4 hours north from Nanaimo. My mother-in-law lives in Nanaimo.
Are you heading this way as it is gorgeous and so much more to see. Especially Telegraph Cove and whale watching.
We unfortunately didn’t have time to go any further north than Campbell River on this trip. We will for sure visit the northern end next time!
Late to the party as I've been island adventuring too, but my goodness, this video has cemented my need to return to this gorgeous area of the world. When I visited Vancouver Island all those years ago, our budget was super tight so car rental was out of the question and we only visited Victoria and Tofino as these were well served by public transport. We took the clipper over to Victoria from Seattle like you did on your last visit - I remember being so torn about the cost, but it was going to give a whole extra day if we didn't faff with the greyhound to Vancouver and then ferry across. To get back, we took a bus from Tofino to Vancouver that included the ferry cost so skipped absolutely everything you showed me in this video, and the FOMO is very real right now (if you change fear to feeling 🤣)! You guys did well to capture the bear, even if it was just a small snippet - your reactions were just as good as I know I'd be reacting in exactly the same way!! I shockingly never ate a Nanimo bar the whole year I lived in Canada, so that alone is a reason to return as they look amazing! I think the highlights of this were the Englishman River Falls and the little Qualicum Falls, but the lighthouse loop was gorgeous too! I'm so pleased you're back in areas I've been to as I love trips down memory lane thanks to you guys! ❤
Oh ya you’ve gotta get back to Vancouver Island when you can! It deserves a proper exploration! And yes the Nanaimo bar alone is worth the visit! The waterfalls were 😍😍
12:56 That doesn't look like Frank the Tank. Frank is usually in the Kennedy Lake area. He's very worthy of his name.
We didn’t get the chance to ask the bear his name 😜
I live here I knew all those stops would slow you down but totally worth it to bad you didn't get to see more. Happy to see the much needed construction on the road out there
All the more reason to come back! There is so much to see there!
When you stopped to have lunch, I laughed to myself because it looked like one of the locations for the early seasons of Alone!!!
😂 we need to watch that show
That ferry was huge. Never been on one that big
It was massive!
This place looks beautiful! Hope you guys have fun and I’m getting great ideas for my retirement 😃
It was wonderful! There's lots to do there!
Looks so Beautiful there, I enjoyed the video.
Thanks!
🐻 ❤! A cool sighting. AND the “I’m On Boat” dance. lol That’s an enjoyable video. :)
😂😂🤣
Wow! Vancouver Island is beautiful!! I had no idea! When you said you paid $250 to ferry over, I was shocked. That's a lot. However, once I saw all the waterfalls and cute towns.... worth it! I want to plan a trip there now😅
Ya it was a chunk of change, but it was super worth it!
I am from Minnesota and the Nanaimo bar sounds VERY similar to the Prayer Bar layers we make at Christmas time but they are much thinner layers & only 1.5 " x 1.5" squares.
Yum! Good stuff!
Great video. I have been to Victoria, but I never knew how many spectacular Provincial parks there are there. Makes me want to go back!
We were surprised how many amazing parks there were also!
Beautiful island. Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing with all of us stuck at home and work. Counting down until I get to hit the road. Have fun you two, or I should say you three.
We're doing all the hard work of eating Nanaimo bars, hiking, and hopefully capturing the beauty for the folks at home! We're happy to share and extremely thankful and grateful for what we get to do! Us three are having a blast! Thanks for watching as always!
You guys did a great job showcasing our island! I hope you guys have a great time here 💜
We LOVED it! Thank you!
