Conde Nast Traveler is hailing Vancouver Island as a top “spring break for adults” destination – the only Canadian location on the list of 27.
The renowned online travel magazine hit up a pair of travel specialists, Swaylah Faroqi of Away With Sway and Livia Angelini of Scott Dunn, to craft a list that showed off-peak destinations with mild weather and fewer crowds, ideal to get a jump on spring break landing.
The result is a list of 27 destinations for adults, ranging from whale watching in the Dominican Republic to sampling the finest wines the West Coast has to offer.
Vancouver Island is deemed a scenic chunk of land “with Victoria on its south and UNESCO-designated biosphere reserves stretching further north.”
A destination to reset and recharge, where even the most action-packed activities such as backcountry hiking and whale watching, offer a rejuvenating new view of the world. Cherry blossoms are blooming and temperatures are primarily above freezing with accommodation rates to match the off-season, the agency notes.
Vancouver Island is the only Canadian destination offered among North American communities. Others listed include Texas Hill Country; Puerto Rico; San Diego; Bend, Ore.; Big Sky, Mont.; Healdsburg, Calif.; Grand Canyon National Park; Oaxaca, Mexico; and Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
