heading to vancouver in august, looking for things to do.
thinking of maybe taking a trip to whistler or doing an alaskan cruise? any suggestions?
Answer
If you like hiking or camping then I would suggest taking the ferry to Bowen Island/Nanaimo or Victoria. Beautiful scenery there. You can camp by the beach, hiking in the forest. Visit deserted Native grounds to learn a bit about their culture and what that place was like before.
Whistler of course is very nice too, you could take a Greyhound up there. Rent a hotel. Spend a couple of nights, hiking, exploring, dining out, shopping (souvenirs can pretty much be found anywhere).
I like visting Downtown Vancouver.
People cant stop walking in Downtown, it's just sooo filled with things to do.
A day in Downtown Vancouver would be like :
10AM - Eat breakfast in the Four seasons restaurant
12PM - Visit Pacific Center and shop
1PM - Eat Lunch (food court or near by restaurant, Red Robin, CinCin, Earls)
3PM - Walk to Stanley Park, walk or rent a bike to walk/bike by the port of Coal Harbour
4PM - Possibly visit the Aquarium (located in Stanley Park)
6PM - Walk up Denman, watch the sunset at Second Beach.
7PM- Have dinner at a near by restaurant, (Beachhouse, Sushi)
8PM - Start walking back to your hotel and see oh so many lights.
9PM - Stand and watch people walking by your window.
10PM - Dream, and wish for tomorrow to come so you can visit Granville Island, or metrotown, maybe catch a movie at Silver City or Scotia Bank Theather

Where to go for Grad Camping Trip on Vancouver Island, BC?
Christina
im planning a grad camping trip for my high school grad class on Vancouver Island, BC... possibly around Parksville, Tofino, or the Gulf Islands....but I don't know where to go. We would want a place that isn't particularly family-oriented, because we're young and will inevitably make some noise. A place with like a group campsite would be best. we don't need any special amenities, just a campfire, some bathrooms, and showers. Any ideas? anything will help!!
Answer
There's no campsite I've ever been to that doesn't have noise a curfew, 11 pm at the latest, and pretty much all campsites are family oriented. If you make too much noise, even before curfew, expect to be asked to tone it down. The only one I've ever heard of that isn't family oriented is near Nelson BC. Miracle Beach, just north of Courtenay, has a group site that's a little removed from the rest of the campsites.
