South Vancouver Island offers many spectacular parks to visit. At Goldstream Provincial Park, you will find massive trees as well as magnificent waterfalls, a meandering river that meets the sea, flowers, birds and fascinating fish; all a mere 16 km from downtown Victoria. On the west coast, Juan de Fuca Provincial Park offers scenic beauty, spectacular hiking, marine and wildlife viewing, and roaring surf in its course along the Pacific coastline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
