The Pacific Marine Circle Route is the perfect way to see much of the Cowichan region and southern Vancouver Island, from the sheltered east coast to the wild, rugged west coast. The picturesque 255-kilometre paved Scenic Marine Route passes through dozens of diverse communities. Between Cowichan Lake and Port Renfrew is a 55-kilometer long section that is a wild landscape of grand mountain vistas, ancient old-growth forests, and cold, clear rivers.

Along the way, you can explore wine country, visit some of the most beautiful West Coast parks and beaches, learn about First Nations history and visit a range of colorful villages, towns, and cities, all on one spectacular road trip.
