Beyond Victoria – Explore Northern Vancouver Island! 🌲🏔️

Last time I shared about Victoria to Nanaimo — now let’s go further NORTH! From Campbell River all the way to Telegraph Cove and beyond 🚗💨 📍 Campbell River ✅ Elk Falls Suspension Bridge More impressive than expected! If you missed Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver — come here! And it’s FREE! 🆓 The round-trip walk takes about 30 mins — easy and scenic 🌉 ✅ Nhau Vietnamese Kitchen & Bar Unexpectedly the BEST PHO I’ve had — even better than in LA 🍜❤️ We came back again on our return trip! The broth is rich and layered, and their signature crispy chicken with dipping sauce is unforgettable. ✅ Willow Point Estuary Perfect for spotting bald eagles 🦅! They often forage in the shallow waters, allowing rare eye-level photo opportunities. With patience, you can get quite close. 📍 Telegraph Cove A picturesque former fishing and cannery village with only 15 year-round residents 🏡✨. Now it’s a beautifully preserved photogenic spot and the launch point for eco-tours: ✅ Tide Rip Grizzly Tours (brown bears!) 🐻 ✅ Prince of Whales (whale watching!) 🐳 ✅ North Island Kayak (kayaking adventures!) 🚣 ✅ Devil’s Bath Brewing Co (in Port McNeill) A local favorite for beer and creative pizza 🍕🌍. Try the Bulgogi pizza with aioli & kimchi or the tropical Aloha pizza — so good! ☕ Coffee Stops Along the Way ✅ The Island Grind Coffee & Tea – Must-try: London Fog! ☕ ✅ FoggDukkers Coffee – Oceanfront seating with occasional orca sightings! 🐋 ✅ Creekmore’s Coffee – Solid coffee + delicious breakfast wraps 🌯 Ready to go beyond Victoria? Northern Vancouver Island is calling! 📣 #VancouverIsland #ExploreBC #NorthernVI #CampbellRiver #TelegraphCove #WildlifeWatching #EcoTravel #HiddenGems #CanadianAdventure #TravelBC
