Spent a week sailing from Nanaimo to the end of Princess Louisa Inlet and the beautiful Chatterbox Falls and back to Nanaimo. This is a wonderful trip through some of the most beautiful waters on the East side of Vancouver Island. From Nanaimo you sale to the east side of Texada Island, to Jarvis Inlet, to Princess Louisa Inlet to be rewarded by the spectacular Chatterbox Falls. The traces of water from the highest peaks all cascading and joining to form Chatterbox Falls and tumble mightily into the ocean inlet. This trip is beautiful and rewarding at every turn. This destination can only be made by water. We sailed and the rythym of the water and the pace of the journey was it's own reward.

8. Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 293 reviews
Reviewed By christinern - Vancouver, Canada
This is a pretty popular place for a hike, rapids viewing and relaxing. It is a 1 hour hike/walk one way in the forest (not wheelchair or stroller accessible), fairly flat and wide trail. You pass a beautiful lake, and have 2 choices of viewing areas depending on the direction of the tides. The sign at the beginning of the hike will provide some suggestions. Check online for the best times to go to catch the biggest tides. Once you reach the rapids, there are rocks for sitting on, you can catch kayakers or surfers on the standing waves, it’s a very cool experience to see. Not many places in the world that you can see this natural phenomenon. Another 1 hour walk back out, the rainforest is beautiful. Cherish the memories of the beautiful day you just experienced on the lovely west coast. Parking is free at the provincial park boundary or across the road in the museum parking lot.
