Vancouver Island named one of top destinations to travel in 2025

Vancouver Island has been named one of the top destinations to travel to in 2025.

CNN Travel has recently put together a list of the 25 best places for people to travel to this year, showing a variety of locations all throughout the world, ranging from England to Almaty, Kazakhstan.

They put Vancouver Island on the list, saying the landscapes and manicured blossoms are some of the Island’s natural draws.

“The 285-mile-long island, located in the Pacific about 60 miles west of Vancouver, is home to the rugged Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on its west coast,” said CNN Travel.

“Experienced backpackers might tackle the park’s West Coast Trail. Or for more creature comforts farther north around the park’s Long Beach Unit, lodges dot the coast between the laidback towns of Ucluelet and Tofino.”

Other draws for the Island include Kingfisher Pacific Resort & Spa in Courtenay, and Butchart Gardens in Victoria.

They add Vancouver Island is the only entry to come from Canada on this list.
