Vancouver Island Off-road Adventure Tips

1. Tours provide a guide who knows the land and the best routes.
2. Prepare! Research your route for floods, wash out bridges, logging operations, fallen trees, wind storms and weather forecasts.
3. Make sure to leave no trace behind. Pack out what you pack in.
4. Do not, and we mean do not, vary off the trails or roads and destroy the ecological sensitive areas in our backcountry.
5. Always wear a helmet and do a safety check prior to leaving including gas, water, emergency kits and so forth.
6. Be prepared for roads not matching your maps as they change frequently on Vancouver Island. Gates are erected. Signs are missing. Be ready for a back up plan.
7. Leave a trip plan with someone you know with your departure and expected arrival date.
