Besides a handful of excellent canyons, the island is also a legendary destination for caving and hiking.

For hiking, the legendary West Coast Trail is the classic long distance trek in the region with plenty of information available online.

Canada cavers tend to keep caves secret, so you will be best to connect with the local caving clubs in order to go caving. They organize

If planning to go to Vancouver Island you should plan to spend at least 5 days there, as the ferry is quite expensive (especially in summer) and it takes time to drive around the island (as distances are great and highways scarce).

When to go

The summer is usually the best time to visit, it's when the weather is most stable. Heavy rains in Spring and Fall may make canyons and caves flood, forest roads impassable and inflict great misery on backpackers.
