The Pacific Marine Circle Route is one of Vancouver Island's best road trips. It starts and finishes in Victoria, British Columbia's characterful capital city.
The scenic road winds through temperate rainforest as it follows the rugged coastline of the Juan de Fuca Strait.
Salty sea breezes, beach waterfalls, huge trees and ocean vistas abound, as well as potential whale sightings.
After arriving at the remote community of Port Renfrew, the journey turns inland and heads towards the expansive shores of Cowichan Lake and the bountiful Cowichan Valley. The finale is the spectacular Malahat Summit, high above the ocean.
This five day itinerary features all of the top places to see and things to do along the Pacific Marine Circle Route. The pace is on the slow side so if you'd prefer a shorter trip, check out the three day itinerary instead!
