Our viewers never cease to amaze us. These #viewerphotos are so incredible. They’re honestly the best emails I receive. Look at these sunsets over the past couple of evenings. #viewerphotos #hazyskies #vancouverisland #chekviewers taken in Vancouver Island, Canada by @chek_aroundtown

One of those experiences that reminds you just how incredible it is to live here. 💙✨

My son and I joined locally owned and operated Pacifica Paddling in Brentwood Bay for their bioluminescence tour, and it was magic. 🦭

The guides don’t just lead the tour, they share stories about these waters, the marine life, and the history of the coastline, giving you a deeper connection to the place you’re exploring.

And from sparkles in the water to sparkles in the sky over @thebutchartgardens 🎇

I always love highlighting local businesses that create experiences rooted in community and a genuine love for where we live, and this is definitely one I’d recommend.

If you’re looking for a unique summer experience on Vancouver Island, add this to your list. You won’t regret it. 🌌🛶

Have you experienced bioluminescence before?
