31 of the Best Things to Do in Nanaimo

Things to Do in Nanaimo

Aside from biting into a mouth-watering Nanaimo bar, there are many things to do in Nanaimo, one of the biggest cities on Vancouver Island.

Centrally located on the east coast of Vancouver Island, Nanaimo is a beautiful city next to the Salish Sea and facing the Coastal Mountains of mainland British Columbia. Anchored by the lovely harbour, which is home to seaplanes, boat tours, walking trails, and more, this seaside city is a great place to experience the charm of Vancouver Island.

However, despite being one of the biggest cities on the island, it’s still quite small. Instead of skyscrapers, you’ll find many little shops, restaurants, and museums, as well as lots of nature, including parks, nearby provincial parks, and more.

In this Nanaimo travel guide, we’ll fill you in on the top 31 things to do in Nanaimo and the surrounding area, as well as where to stay, and more!

Things to Do in Tofino last updated: July 31st, 2021

When I think of both “tropical” and “Canada”, the first place that comes to mind is Tofino. One of Canada’s most westerly towns, Tofino faces the Pacific Ocean and is home to some of the best surfing in the country, as well as whale watching, hiking, paddling, and so much more.

We’ve been to Tofino many times and it’s always a charming place to visit. Whether it’s walking along the beach in the evening to witness some of the most spectacular sunsets in the country or hiking along the coast in beautiful lush rainforest, Tofino is one of our favourite places to visit in British Columbia.

We always look forward to going back, so if you do get the chance to go, here are some things you shouldn’t miss.
