Mother Nature doesn’t have a permanent address, but her finest summer home is here—and thankfully, she welcomes visitors. Our stays in this neck of the lush, enveloping woods are in properties that live in harmony with the environment, from the menu down to the décor. There aren’t many people, but your kids won’t be starved for playmates; after riding the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, we’ll hit the surf in search of dolphins, sea lions and orcas. Seaplanes, ferries and private boats knit it all together. Eco-friendliness has never been friendlier.

Day 2 Bike and ride through rain forests before dinner at a private wine estate tucked away in the hills
Day 3 Take a moment (or a hundred) to marvel at the majestic harbour view from your room at Sooke Harbour House
Day 4 Go salmon fishing in the morning, then eat what you caught at dinner (with the cleaning and cooking parts handled by pros)
