By Road:
Although Vancouver Island is 460
kilometres ( 286 miles ) in length from North to South ( almost the length of
Ireland ) it is only 50 - 80 kilometres (31 - 50 miles) in width. It is almost
impossible to get lost as there is only one major highway ( #19 ) that runs the
length of the east coast and another highway ( #4 ) that connects to the scenic
west coast of the island. From Victoria, Nanaimo or Port Hardy take
highway #19 and for a slower but scenic alternative connecting some of the
smaller communities, try highway # 19A. Enjoy!

conditions and highways cams of major BC Roads. BC Highways for detailed maps and
suggested circle tours for all of British Columbia. |
