If you like driving at over 110+ km/h, and you pass it, then you need to SLOW THE FLOCK down, park your car, evaluate your life, then get out, and do the side with the oldest cedar in BC, then get back in your call, the FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMIT. So there you have it, there are two loops, and depending on which side you end up on, you either get lake views, or very old trees, either way, WORTH IT.

Huge trees both alive and dead (some around 800 years old) await for you in a dense forest on both sides of a highway. Great picture (selfie?) opportunities abound. We went on a misty day; cool but be sure you have proper footwear, as it gets muddy in some parts of the trail. And the bathrooms are clean for that outhouse-kind-of-thing. Worth the stop.

The campground is quite big. The outhouse was not bad. We also explored the caves. The tours take 2 hours approx. You can do a self-guided tour but if you do than you don't get to go inside past the gates in the caves Note that in the areas there are lots of dangerous wild animals. We heard that there was a deer that got taken out by a cayote.

We went on the guided 3 hour "Ice Age Adventure" tour. Our tour guide was amazing!! She was very educational with the history, facts, and preservation efforts. She was experienced, attentive and overall fun to be with. We explored a series of marble passages and crystal caverns created by the power of "The Ice Age". The experience was amazing! We were crawling and schootching through tight passage ways. We even climbed an underground waterfall!! Wow, the amazing crystals formations were breathtaking. My pictures do not do them justice; you simply just have to see it for yourself!! Dress warm, as it does get a little chilly inside the cave, wear boots or sturdy shoes and know you are going to get a little wet! Take a waterproof durable camera! Also, if possible some gloves can be very helpful. They provide the helmets with a light. Hydrate and have a balanced meal, you will be hiking to the cave as well as climbing and crawling inside. They offer an education center featuring geology information, a small museum and fossil display. They have a small theater, so visitors can learn more about this unique environment without having to enter the caves. Snacks and souvenirs can also be purchased. Other above-ground opportunities include a self-guided walk through the amazing surface geology on the new "Phil Whitfield Interpretive Trail" that highlights interesting surface features explained in a self-guiding brochure. The drive to Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park takes you on an unpaved road for a few miles; don't be worried, it is part of the adventure!! Great price for the experience, this is a MUST DO when visiting Beautiful Vancouver Island!!

We were vacationing on Vancouver Island a couple of weeks ago and came to Skydive Vancouver Island…read moreto do our first ever tandem jump. We were staying near Victoria but we come from a land where something that is 2 hours away can take you 4 hours to get to in traffic, so we ended up arriving super early. We were met by Allison who was just a bundle of good vibe energy and made us feel comfortable and relaxed as she did our intake. She paired us with Joe and Guilly for our adventure and while Guilly was already assisting someone else safely back to earth, Joe geared us up and got us ready. We piled into the van and off to the airstrip we went. Now, I'm not a fan of small planes so I was actually more concerned about the flight up in the Cessna than the actual jump itself but our pilot Ben was amazing and the incredible views quickly obliterated any fears. The thought of this never crossed my mind before we went skydiving but motion sickness is a thing. Thankfully I wasn't physically sick but I was definitely feeling the effects! Since our jump, I have done a little research and read in an article that if the motion is bothering you, you should communicate this to your instructor and they can help to manage your symptoms; I suppose by the way they control the chute. I don't know if that's true but it's worth a try. I think next time (because there will definitely be a next time), I will pre-medicate with Gravol because my brain is wired in such a way that, if something is fun to do but makes me feel ill, I will take whatever measures are necessary to build up a tolerance so I can do it ALL. THE. TIME. That being said, I likely would not have appreciated it at the time but looking back, I'm a little jealous that my husband was somersaulted out of the plane and got to try his hand at controlling the parachute but I didn't. I think Skydive Vancouver Island pride themselves on being able to gauge the vibe of their customers so maybe Guilly felt that I was more reserved... or perhaps he just didn't trust that we wouldn't end up in Nanaimo, Whistler or Thunder Bay Ontario had he given the reins over to me. I don't know... but next time Guilly, I want to somersault out of the plane and I want to try my hand at controlling the chute. I will come prepared. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this experience and I have thought about it every day since. I felt completely safe from bottom to top and top to bottom. I want to thank the entire team for making our first jump so memorable and to Guilly... Senna Forever. IYKYK ;) xx
