Places to Visit in Nanaimo

  • Newcastle Island: A provincial park located on a small island off the coast of Nanaimo, Newcastle Island remains uninhabited by Vancouver locals, but is plentiful with stunning beauty, a multitude of activities, and a sense of freedom that is separate from the pandemonium of the city. Enriched with beauty and history, the last people to inhabit the island were the original First Nations people who left in 1849. Since then, the park has been a popular tourist attraction that caters to hikers, kayakers, bird watchers, and campers. The island prohibits travel by car and there is no connecting bridge between islands. However, during the summer, tourists can walk across the narrow straits from Protection Island, which proves to be a fun adventure all in itself. Whether you want to camp under the stars or ride your boat by the mooring buoys, a trip to Newcastle Island will surely be an unforgettable experience.
  • Neck Point Island: A destination waterfront park for Nanaimo and its surrounding region, Neck Point Island is a place of limitless sublime beauty and uninhibited respect for the environment. Known for its historical, aesthetic, and natural values, the park spans for over 36 acres off a stunning waterfront setting, with additional features including rocky cliffs, pebbled beaches, and winding nature trails. Jump in the water and scuba dive to visit the diverse array of sea life underneath the surface. Whether you want to climb up, swim down, or stay on the ground, Neck Point Island provides everything you could wish for.
  • Harbourfront Walkway: Amble down the Harbourfront Walkway at your leisure and explore one of the hidden gems of this city. Suspended above the shore, with miles of ocean ahead, the scenes that greet you when you look out from the Harbourfront are nothing short of miraculous. Explore the many tourist shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes on the walkway or hire a boat near the docks. Seaplanes also depart from here to go to numerous destinations, including Vancouver, or you can take a 40-minute Seaplane Tour that flies you overhead the Strait of Georgia, where you will be greeted with stunning sights of the Sunshine Coast. For an oceanfront walkway like no other, there is no better choice than Harbourfront.
