Vancouver Island is the Spring Break Destination for Adults

Adulting is hard, and adults need a break, too. Where do adults go on spring break? The transitional months of March and April are the ideal spring months to choose a destination that’s fun yet relaxing, exciting but tranquil. That’s why we chose Vancouver Island as the ultimate spring break destination for adults. With both coastal and rainforest activities, fresh, abundant seafood, and award-winning spa services, Vancouver Island is our winner. As the best spring break destination for adults, here’s four seaside locations we recommend on Vancouver Island to explore, relax, and unwind.

Sooke, British Columbia

Located only 45 minutes from downtown Victoria, the WorldHotels™️ Luxury Prestige Oceanfront Resort is a wonderful waterfront resort that offers stunning views of Sooke Harbour and the Olympic Mountains. Adults on spring break can expect exciting activities like scuba diving, zip lining, hiking, whale watching, and sea fishing (including crabbing, salmon, and halibut) – and tours can be booked with the hotel’s concierge and leave directly in front of the hotel. In addition, the beautiful on-site spa Coastal Tides Day Spa pampers guests with wellness services including massages, facials, and body treatments.

Chemainus, British Columbia  

On your way from Victoria, BC to Chemainus, BC, make a pit stop at the towering Malahat Skywalk. Daredevils will revel in these heights, soaring at 250 m above sea level, get a bird’s eye view of Vancouver Island from the spiral tower, including a “sweeping panorama of Mt. Baker, Finlayson Arm, the Saanich Peninsula, and islands in two countries,” reports the website. Once in Chemainus, art lovers will enjoy the outdoor gallery of murals hosted by the Chemainus Festival of Murals Society. In the evening, enjoy a vibrant production at the Chemainus Theatre Festival. Theater goers can enjoy special rates when you book the Best Western Plus Chemainus Inn.

Nanaimo, British Columbia

Nanaimo is not just known for the Nanaimo Bar, (though, they do have a Nanaimo Bar Trail, too, for those with a sweet tooth), but for its charms and quirks. With unique activities like the bathtub races, which marks Nanaimo as the bathtub capital of the world, and the Dinghy Dock Pub, Canada’s only floating pub – accessible only by ferry from Nanaimo Harbour and only in the springtime, there’s so much to do and see in this seaside town. Take a hike to the scenic Ammonite Falls or explore the ocean-side Neck Point Park, abundant with sea life. Go on a pub crawl starting with the White Sails Brewing and enjoy a pint and the craft beer scene. Or chow down at Nori Japanese Restaurant for fresh fare. Enjoy a convenient location to all Nanaimo has to offer with your stay at Best Western Dorchester Hotel.

Tofino, British Columbia

Tofino, BC is truly a magical place, but it is even more magical for adults on spring break. Not only can you surf or paddleboard the world-class waves with Tofino Paddle Surf, steps from your hotel room at the Best Western Plus Tin Wis, but you can relax with Tuff City Saunas in a wood-fired sauna right on the shore afterwards, making it the best of both worlds. During the spring, you can whale watch the whale migration, where over 20,000 gray whales migrate from the Arctic to Mexico. For dinner, dine at the local, award-winning favorite, Wolf in the Fog. Wolf in the Fog plates up creative dishes using local ingredients, and when you’re done dining head over to the Tofino Distillery for handcrafted spirits.
