Vancouver Island Off Roading recreational areas are some of the most talked about trips involving wildlife and scenery... and includes some mud, rock and bolder climbing opportunities off roading.

British Columbia, is deep in logging and mining history therefore... in great part, the forestry industry is responsible for many of the massive network of active and deactivated logging roads and railroad tracks slicing through the forests, across the valleys and up the mountains of BC, Canada used by off roaders.

Industry, recreation and nature are working hard to live together. the access roads providing access to a wild terrain covered in rivers, lakes and trees. The mountains are everywhere. And from the peaks one can often see the Pacific Ocean, other islands, boats and many sandy beaches.

Like most areas of British Columbia, the islands, have a deep history in the forest and mining. The ground work establishing the network of dirt roads used by the off-roading community was developed many years ago via the forestry roads. With forestry comes the railroad which was used, in the past, to transport the logs for the forest companies. Many of these rail road beds are discontinued routes which , now, have been transformed into off-roading and/or bike trails.

An off-roading adventure guide is often the best way to experience the wilderness because of the familiarity of the routes and camp sites. Off-road companies come in various forms of transportation like, for example, exploring on an ATV, dirt bike, open air jeep or on a 4x4 truck. Many tour groups offer half day, full day and multi day wilderness camping off roading trips exploring deep into the forests.

Some of the Vancouver Island off-roading routes are easy low speed afternoon excursions, while others require an experienced guide, good planning and, of course, good equipment. A guide is always a wise move because the road system does change. Floods could wash out bridges. Last years logging could have changed the road system. Fallen trees from wind storms could be blocking all routes in and out. A guide knows the ways around these opportunities thrown at us by nature.

For many in the 4x4 community the off-roading experience is quick way to escape the city. For many 4x4 groups it is the means to access a favorite fishing lake, a photographic moment, a mountain vista picnic or escape for a weekend to their secret wilderness camping spot.

We encourage all four wheeling trips to be done with safety in mind which will ensure a high level of excitement without incident.
