Thanks for all the info guys!
Tide pools would be awesome, the wife likes marine stuff too. I want to go diving while I am there too, anyone know of some good places to dive, and dive centers to use?

diving
Do a night dive on Ogden Point Breakwater. Incredible is the only word I can think of. There is a dive center with showers and all you need right there too!
Cheers, Phil

I've lived just about everywhere on Vancouver Island at one point and now I'm in Victoria. Tofino, like everyone else suggested, is a must. The rest depends on what you're looking for; Victoria is great and very well presented. I would probably say you could do Victoria in a day or two though. There's lots of shops and attractions around town to see. For nature Botanical Beach sounds great. Also Bamfield is a huge marine biology attraction. Do a google search and check it out. This place is considered to be one of the nicest attractions in the world if you can get there:

Thanks for the info Jason. Im thinking the island would be a pretty nice place to work and live!
We don't want to spend any time in shops or anything. We want to relax and read books, and do day-trips. I would like to do some diving along the way, go canoeing, hopefully go on a whale-watching tour, go bungee jumping in nanaimo, maybe do some caving. And we want to stay in full service cabins.

Is it tough to find jobs there?
Jason, I know about the University of Victoria, are there other universities or colleges on the island? Some friends/family just moved to campbell river last year, now that I have researched it a bit, I am jealous!
