Vancouver Island Travel Etiquette

Travelling to Vancouver Island can be exhilarating, but it also comes with its own set of puzzles: figuring out which parks allow pets and which don’t, understanding the limits on fishing or hunting seasons, navigating campground rules during wildfire‑sensitive months, and respecting Indigenous territories and marine protections. Without clear guidance, it’s easy to unintentionally break a regulation or miss out on a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience.
Through Vancouver Island Travel Etiquette, Vanislander breaks down every guideline into bite‑sized, practical advice—highlighting potential pitfalls, seasonal hazards, and cultural protocols. Each post helps you navigate the complexity of local regulations and environmental best practices so you can focus on what matters: savouring old‑growth forests, exploring hidden coves, or joining respectful cultural tours.
By bringing together official rules, on‑the‑ground tips from park rangers, guidance from Indigenous hosts, and real‑life traveller experiences, Vanislander ensures you spend less time worrying about “Can I?” and more time enjoying everything Vancouver Island has to offer—responsibly and confidently.
