10 Most Beautiful Waterfalls

1. Plitvice Lakes (Croatia)
If the Grand Canyon were covered in Technicolor green moss, spotted with 16 lakes across its base, and laced with thousands of falls along its walls, it would look a little something like Plitvice Lakes National Park in southwestern Croatia ($15 entrance fee, per person). The color of the water is intensely turquoise, thanks to the unique mix of minerals and organisms in runoff from the Dinaric Alps. The Plitvice National Park Service offers three-hour tours, starting at $130 for groups, but it's more fun to explore at your own pace, stopping to duck under waterfalls when you need to cool off. Allow a solid two to three hours to poke around, and be sure to take in the view from the first entrance to the park. The perch, high above a series of caves, overlooks all the lakes. Maps for sale ($4 each) at the tourist information booths, located at each of the park's two entrances, will help you navigate the park's labyrinth of trails and boardwalks.

Closest major city: The park is 80 miles south of Zagreb and an easy two-hour drive by car.

Best time to go: The weather is reliably warm and sunny from May through September.

2. Niagara Falls (New York and Canada)
The most powerful waterfall in North America, Niagara straddles the international border between Canada and the U.S., near Buffalo, New York. It is divided into three distinct cascades: The 167-foot-high American Falls and the 181-foot-high Bridal Veil Falls sit on the U.S. side; the 158-foot-high Horseshoe Falls drops on the Canadian. People debate which country holds the better view, but the truth of it is, the best vantage point isn't from either shoreline. It's from the water. The Maid of the Mist ventures to both sides along the Niagara River. The 600-passenger vessel gets so close to the action, in fact, that guests are outfitted with rain ponchos to keep them dry from the torrential spray. If you do take the half-hour ride, you'll join the company of former passengers Theodore Roosevelt and Marilyn Monroe (open April through late October, $13.50 per person).

Closest major city: Niagara sits 17 miles north of Buffalo; from there, the falls are an easy 25-minute drive along I-190.

Best time to go: Summer crowds can overwhelm, so visit during the shoulder seasons instead. You can't go wrong in May, June, and September.

3. Iguazú Falls (Argentina)
A network of 275 falls that spans nearly two miles across, Iguazú is so striking in its immensity that when Eleanor Roosevelt first saw the falls, she remarked, "poor Niagara." The water plummets with such intense force that the spray almost looks as if it's shooting up from the pools below. One of the most popular sections is Devil's Throat, a horseshoe-shaped waterfall that's 269 feet wide and 2,300 feet long. You could visit Iguazú on your own, but you'll see more with an experienced guide. The full-day excursion with Viator takes you by bus to Devil's Throat and the falls' Upper and Lower Circuits and also grants you access to the Train of the Forest, a railway system that travels through the park and to the footbridges overlooking the falls ($35 per person).

Closest major city: Iguazú is 670 miles (and a 90-minute flight) north of Buenos Aires.

Best time to go: For the best prices and warm temperatures (75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit), go in October. Avoid January, February, and Easter vacation, when Argentines and Brazilians flock to the falls. And stay away during May and July, the two rainiest months.

4. Hanakapi'ai Falls (Kauai, Hawaii)
Hanakapi'ai calls to mind the prehistoric, untouched beauty of the landscapes in the Jurassic Park films (minus the dinosaurs, of course). The thin veil of water plunges 300 feet from volcanic-rock cliffs cloaked in tropical rain forest. Better still, to get there, you follow the famously scenic Kalalau Trail, which traces the lush, green Na Pali Coast for 11 miles along the northern coast of the island. You can access the trail from Ke'e Beach. You don't need a guide for the hike—the trail is clearly marked and well trod—but remember to pack water because the sun can get pretty hot here and the hike is strenuous in a few sections. En route, you'll pass through bamboo forests and cross a freshwater stream; two miles in, you'll reach a quiet inlet of Ke'e Beach, where it's not unusual to spot pods of dolphins playing in the surf.

Closest major city: The trailhead at Ke'e Beach is a quick 15-minute drive north from the town of Hanalei, Kauai. From there, the hike takes two to four hours round-trip, depending on your fitness level and how long you linger at the beach and the waterfall.

Best time to go: You'll find the best deals on flights and hotels from mid-September through December, and from January through May. Avoid hiking the trail in August, when temperatures can climb into the 90s. Be sure to get an early start; the parking lot at Ke'e Beach fills up by mid-morning.

5. Yosemite Falls (California)
A poster child for the American West, this three-tiered fall stretches 2,425 feet from top to bottom. The waterfall itself is gorgeous, but it is the surroundings-granite cliffs and Giant Sequoia trees-that make it one of the most striking sights in the country. The falls are visible from many places around Yosemite Valley, particularly near Yosemite Lodge. From the lodge's parking lot, you can get even closer by taking one of the National Park Service's free, 20-minute shuttle bus rides to stop no. 6, where a one-mile loop trail leads to the base of Lower Yosemite Fall.

Closest major city: Yosemite National Park is 195 miles (and a four-hour drive) east of San Francisco.

Best time to go: The falls are at their most spectacular when the winter ice and snow are melting, from March to June. Peak flow is in May.

6. Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe and Zambia)
More than twice as high as Niagara Falls and about a mile across, the absolute mass of this gusher is mind-boggling. The force of the water falling into the pool below is so great, in fact, that on clear days you can see the spray from as far as 30 miles away. The local populace is equally impressive: Baboons, elephants, and hippos are often spotted along the shores of Victoria. Safari Par Excellence can set you up with everything, whether you're looking for a simple rafting trip on the Zambezi River leading up to Victoria (from $135 per person for a half-day) or a helicopter ride to view the white rhinos in nearby Mosi-oa Tunya National Park (from $120 per person).

Closest major city: Livingstone, Zambia, is about eight miles from Victoria Falls. Most visitors fly into Livingstone International Airport and then take a shuttle to their hotel, where tour operators pick up guests and transport them to the falls.

Best time to go: The perfect window is from February to May, when the rainy season has just ended but the falls are still gushing.

7. Sutherland Falls (New Zealand)
Set on the southwestern tip of the South Island, Fiordland National Park is perfectly calibrated to create cascades: The rugged landscape gets a steady supply of rain 300 days a year and has hundreds of falls to show for it. The true masterpiece of the bunch is Sutherland. Its water drops 1,904 feet and shifts to the right at one point and then back to the left at another, forming three distinct sections. The best way to see the trio is by hiking a three-mile portion of the Milford Track, one of New Zealand's most popular trails. You can access the Milford near the town of Quintin, at the Quintin Hut, then follow the trail south for approximately 45 minutes to the base of the falls.

Closest major city: Fiordland National Park is about 280 miles southwest of Queenstown. Most visitors rent a car to make the drive, which takes about five hours from Queenstown.

Best time to go: Go during New Zealand's summer, December to February, when the days are long and the temperatures hover around a comfortable 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. Gullfoss Falls (Iceland)
Located on the southwest coast of Iceland, this is one of the most unconventional-looking waterfalls around. It's two-tiered, and even though neither drop is particularly high, together they make for an incredible sight. The first fall cascades to the right, the water churning around before hitting a sheer cliff, where it turns to the left and drops again. Viator Tours operates a half-day trip that stops at Gullfoss and two more of Iceland's biggest attractions: Geysir, which can spout water up to 230 feet high, and the Kerid volcanic crater ($88 per person).

Closest major city: Viator Tours provides transportation to and from Reykjavik. The bus ride is 75 miles and takes about an hour and a half.

Best time to go: Go during June, July, and August, when the ice has melted and temperatures are at their warmest (ranging from 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit).

9. Angel Falls (Venezuela)
The tallest waterfall in the world at 3,211 feet, Angel Falls is so high that some of the water evaporates before it even reaches the pool below. When you look up from the base, the waterfall seems to come from nowhere. Unlike most falls, this one isn't fed by snowmelt, a lake, or a river, but by rainfall from the tropical clouds. Getting to and from Angel Falls on your own is logistically tricky, so it's necessary to see this cascade with a guide. The three-day tour from Akanan Travel & Adventure includes airfare from Caracas, Venezuela's capitol, to Angel Falls; hammocks to sleep on; all meals; and insider access to the falls, including hikes, canoe rides, and a dip in a hidden pool at the base of the waterfall ( $450 per person).

Closest major city: Angel Falls is located in Canaima National Park, which has an on-site airport that connects visitors to and from Caracas.

Best time to go: Akanan's tours run from July through November, when the waterfalls flow is at its heaviest.

10. Langfoss Waterfall (Norway)
Instead of falling in a straight drop like most waterfalls, Langfoss slips down a cliff, maintaining contact with the rocks the entire way down, before spilling into Akra Fjord. Langfoss isn't the biggest waterfall in Norway, but its combined height (2,008 feet) and width (205 feet) are an impressive combination. The mountainside in the background turns bright green with new vegetation in the summer, providing a striking contrast to the whitewater of the falls and the charcoal-gray rocky outcroppings. It's one of the few waterfalls in Norway that hasn't been tapped for hydroelectric power and is still in its natural state. The Langfoss Waterfall Fjord Cruise travels past tiny farms and rugged mountains on its way to the gusher ($45).

Closest major city: From Oslo, you can drive the 246 miles (about five hours) to the small town of Etne, where Langfoss falls; you can also fly from Oslo directly into Haugesund airport and then drive 43 miles to Etne.

Best time to go: The weather around Langfoss is at its best from June through September.

Holidays in Ain, Rhone-Alpes, France

The department of Ain is located in the south-east of France in the Rhone-Alpes region, and is named after the river that runs through the area. Close to the major transport centres of Lyon and Geneva, the area is known for its natural beauty, though you have to travel further east to find the higher mountains and more famous ski resorts. Ain is home to many sites of historical interest, as well as places that outdoor lovers will enjoy exploring, and is itself split into four ancient regions.

Bresse

As well as being home to a number of walking and biking trails, visitors to the Bresse region of Ain can visit the Farming Museum in St Trivier de Courts, where traditional farming and craft techniques are on display in old buildings. Demonstrations are carried out by actors wearing local costume and children are welcome to try some of the activities themselves. The architecture in Bresse is particularly well-known, with many older buildings still displaying the “Saracen” style chimneys, clay walls and exposed beams that are only found in this part of France.

Bugey

Bugey is even more suited to those who enjoy exploring the outdoors and discovering new environments, with gentle climbs, hilltop villages, lakes and waterfalls. Favourite spots to walk or cycle include around the shore of Lake Nantua, to the 20 metre Glandieu waterfall or around the ancient village of Oncieu, built in an unusual circular style around its precious orchard. In the summer, the pleasant temperatures make it an ideal location to walk or take a boat out on one of the many lakes, which often freeze in winter providing a breathtaking backdrop for some outdoor ice-skating.

Dombes

Known as the land of a thousand mirrors, the Dombes area of Ain is dominated by water, including the Rhone and Saone rivers, as well as many lakes and streams. The flatter terrain makes it ideal for horse riding, and there are a number of equestrian centres in local villages if you want to try a more unusual way of exploring the countryside. If you prefer, you can completely relax and take a trip around the rivers and lakes in a horse-drawn carriage. It is also worth visiting the pretty medieval village of Perouges, classified as one of the most beautiful towns in France, as well as the park devoted to the bird life of the region.

Pays de Gex

The Pays de Gex region is a more mountainous area, in the northern part of Ain. In the summer hikers can enjoy the same beautiful scenery that could be speeding past them on the winter ski runs. Unsurprisingly for a mountainous region, the countryside and villages are beautiful, even if they can be difficult to get to in the cold winter months. The spa town of Divonne-les-Bains can help you recover from your outdoor exertions, in summer and winter, while you can relax at restaurants throughout the region, sampling the local creamy cheese Bleu de Gex.

Advantages and benefits of holiday tours

All people love to relax and the best way to achieve it is by going on a holiday travel. Everybody likes to travel to some new destination where he/she has not been before. Because there are about 7 billion people around the world there are twice as much opinions about which is the best way of traveling and spending a vacation. And still the best way to spend your vacation is to go on a holiday travel.

You get so much from a holiday travelling that it stays forever in your memories. The whole experience is a lifetime opportunity. First of all and most important is that this is the cheapest way of travelling. Every tour agency has all kinds of destinations and for bigger groups they make bigger discounts. And if this is not reasonable enough for you then here goes the next best thing about holiday travelling.

Friendship is the most important relationship between people. The word people always go with family or friends. And on a holiday travel you could invite all your family and friends. This will be a reunion with family and friends and also a memorable relaxing vacation. While travelling you could attend at some card game, board games or some kind of word association. You can also listen to music, watch movies or videos and why not even sing with the group. Practically this is a party on a bus with the benefit of traveling to some new destination for all of you.

Before making the reservation for the trip you have to gather the group and get few things straight. The first one is the desired destination. If you could not make it up to consensus then you could vote for example and by this way to choose where you will go. Going to the same place over and over again is not good and some of the group may refuse to come so it is better to go to new destination. Another thing you should get up straight is the date of the event. Some people may not be available for the desired dates so either they are not coming or will come later. But still it is recommended to travel as a group for the more merry experience.

And the last step before booking the trip is to be sure that the agency you have chosen can guarantee you that there will be no complications at all and you can rely on them.

So if you have decided that you want to organize a holiday travel then be sure to check the most important things before going. And have in mind that sometimes spending little more money in addition will bring you something more.

Holidays in Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa, Valencia, Spain

Playa Flamenca is a residential beach area on the Orihuela Costa. Before 1972 it was just a quiet stretch of relatively unknown coastline until some Flemish real estate developers sowed the seeds for what is now one of most well sought for popular resorts.

Playa Flamenca has a beautiful sanded beach area overlooked by a palm-lined promenade that stretches around the cliff face. It has showers and toilets, a game zone and a public telephone. Though, most importantly it is Blue Flagged – the estimable European award for beaches that not only offer cleanliness but also show an active interest in environment friendliness. The promenade also stretches to the other beach resorts of Cabo Roig, La Zenia and Punta Prima before finally arriving at Campoamor.

There are a host of activities offered here or nearby, mainly water sports and maritime but there is some equestrian and relaxing sports such as fishing and golf. In fact golf is well accommodated with three splendid courses in the area: Villamartin, Campoamor and Las Ramblas. Villamartin is ideal for amateurs and professionals alike and has been used for the European Challenge PGA Tour a couple of times. Campoamor actually has three 18-hole courses and its reputation carries the royal standard with it. Finally, Las Ramblas has views that stretch over the majesty of the Mediterranean Sea.

Playa Flamenca has a market every Saturday and it is an ideal time to fill in that gift list as it sells many things such as clothing, accessories, flowers and food items. You can also top up at the many shops at the Playa Flamenca commercial centre. In this centre there are also many bars and restaurants that can offer traditional Spanish food as well as other European specialities.

If you have time for a little culture then a visit to Murcia and Cartagena are wonderful illustrations to Spain's historic contributions to European history. In the old town of Orihuela there are also six old buildings noted as having Cultural Heritage and the town itself was declared a historic and artistic monumental area in the late sixties. La Mata and Torrevieja offer mud baths, which reportedly have therapeutic qualities.

To enjoy this beautiful stretch of beach area with its own unique micro-climate that keeps the hottest months bearable and the coldest mild, then you will need to fly into San Javier at Murcia or El Altet in Alicante. Transfer arrangements will be better provisioned at Alicante but it is worth considering flights and transfers costs in any online assessment of your holiday arrangements. If you book ahead then it will give you an idea of the most affordable and most convenient route. Shuttle services and car hire can be booked in advance and if you do fly into Murcia then taxis are going to be more affordable.

There are no hotels in Playa Flamenca but there are plenty of holiday villas, which can be tailored around your own requirements. Some of them are quite luxurious with outdoor swimming pools.

The Author, Phil Hanlon, writes for Holiday Home Rentals who have a selection of Apartments in Playa Flamenca and Villas in Playa Flamenca which can be rented direct from their owners.

As such, the management always makes an effort to make all the resort’s guests feel as though they have the island for themselves. Surely, those who are looking for a much-needed privacy will appreciate the isolation that Amanpulo offers.

Staying at a casista assures you of absolute privacy from other guests. In addition to the beach-front casitas, four more are constructed on the higher ground of the island among the treetops.

For some quiet reading, guests may visit the Library, also at The Clubhouse (which has an art gallery and boutique as well). Located several steps away from the Clubhouse is Amanpulo’s Beach Club, where anyone can avail of water sport equipments.

Since the island is surrounded by breathtaking coral reefs, a wide variety of aquatic life thrives under the island’s clear waters – perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving activities. Windsurfing is also a favored activity, as well as sailing. Guests may also choose to go island-hopping as the surrounding islands not far away are also beautiful. But before you go exploring other islands, take the time to go round Pamalican itself. Measuring five and a half kilometers at its farthest point and only 500 meters across, you can finish a tour on foot in less than a day. If you don’t feel like walking, there’s a golf cart assigned for each casita that you may use to travel around.

If you prefer to stay indoors, there are several activities that you can do within the island, like sample Amanpulo Resort’s excellent spa services. You may choose to enjoy a nice massage and other aromatherapy treatments from the resort’s resident masseuses in the privacy of your rented casita or in the Spa Casita (you may also get a massage while in the Garden or Beach Sala). Or if you are a fitness buff, feel free to use the fully-equipped gym or play in any of the tennis courts (there are two) in front of the Clubhouse.

As it’s an exclusive Philippine travel destination, Amanpulo is only accessible through chartered flights from Manila (prepare US$400 for a roundtrip package). Guests are flown directly to Pamalican, where they will land at the island’s own private airstrip. If you are concerned that the place might be too isolated for its own good, there’s no need to worry. Amanpulo Resort is fairly self-sufficient (it even has its own doctor and nurse in residence). Cellular phone signal is strong while the Internet is accessible thanks to the complimentary island-wide 2MB Wi-Fi connection.

Top 10 Historic Attractions in Rome

Known as the “Eternal City”, Rome is filled with two millennia of history, as well as being exciting and current, making it an unmissable holiday destination. Rome is packed with things to see and do, so to make life a little easier, here are the Top 10 sights you should see in the beautiful Roma!

1) COLOSSEUM

Considered as the symbol of the Roman Empire, this is one of the most interesting sights in Rome. Building the Colosseum took over 10 years, and was finally finished in 80AD. It was used for all kinds of entertainment, perhaps most famously, the gladiator events. The Colosseum was also the sight of public executions, giving the elliptical stadium a ghostly feeling. This awe-inspiring arena is definitely one of the highlights of Rome.

2) SPANISH STEPS

The 138 Spanish Steps were built in the 17th century by Francesco De Sanctis, getting their name from their close proximity to the Spanish Embassy in Rome. The Scalinata is the widest staircase in Europe, showing visitors stunning views over the city. Visit the steps at Christmas time and you will be greeted by a replica of the nativity scene, but the steps are probably most glorious in late spring, when flower sellers dominate, and the steps are covered in pots of azaleas.

3) ROMAN FORUM

For centuries, the Roman Forum was the centre of Roman public life. In Ancient Rome it was the sight of processions, elections, public debates and speeches and was the hub of commerce; it is perhaps unsurprising then to note that it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in all history. Today, the Forum is made up of many archeological remains, attracting many people daily. In a small way, it is still the scene of meeting for the millions who visit the sight.

4) BASILICA DI SAN PIETRO

The largest church in Christianity, the Basilica die San Pietro, has been said to overlook Rome like the hands of God. Located west of the river Tibet, the stunning church dominates the skyline of Rome, and it has been said that whoever arrives there feels welcomed by a spiritual embrace. The church is named after Peter, the first apostle and first pope, who died by crucifixion on the Vatican Hills.
The interior of the basilica is made up of finest marble and the inside is truly impressive, particularly when you consider that it can take in up to 20,000 worshippers. It is not only a church but also an extraordinary museum with invaluable pieces of art.

5) VATIKAN MUSEUM AND SISTINE CHAPEL

When visiting the Vatican museum you go out of Italy into the smallest country in the world, the Vatican, just 42,000 square metres wide. Seeing everything in a single visit is just impossible. The Sistine Chapel is arguably the best part of the Vatican. Famous for its outstanding architecture and decoration, it is the artwork, pained by the best Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini and Sandro Botticelli that makes the Chapel so breathtaking. The masterpiece painted by Michelangelo onto the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is undoubtedly one of the highlights of Rome.

6) PANTHEON

The Pantheon is a magnificent ancient temple in Rome, built in reverence to all the Gods of the ancient Roman Empire. Dating from 125 AD this is the most spectacular sight in Rome and the one of the ancient buildings which is most complete, really giving you a sense of what it would have been like for visitors in ancient times.
In 609 the building was given to Pope Boniface IV, who re-consecrated it as a Catholic church, the "Santa Maria ad Martyrs" or the "Church of Mary and all the Martyr Saints". A 9-metre hole in the roof of the building, the oculus, lets in the daylight, and it's easy to see the spiritual significance that this link to the heavens would have possessed.
The Pantheon is one of the greatest of all Rome’s sights and one of the most evocative buildings in the world!

7) CIRCUS MAXIMUS

The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman entertainment stadium which was primarily used for chariot racing. Four times bigger than the biggest stadium in use today, it is the biggest sports stadium ever built at 2,037 feet. The building was damaged by fire several times, but after each fire it was repaired, rebuilt or even enlarged.
After the games in 549AD the Circus Maximus fell into disuse and slowly began to fall apart, however in recent times it has been rejuvenated, and is the sight of large sporting events and concerts, including Live 8.

8) CAPITOLINE HILL

The Capitoline Hill is one of Rome’s seven hills and used to be the nerve centre of the Roman Empire, being the place where the city’s first and holiest temples stood. Today it is the home of the Capitoline Museum, filled with fascinating Roman artefacts.
The Capitoline contains few ancient ground-level ruins, as they are almost entirely covered up by Medieval and Renaissance palaces that surround a piazza designed by Michelangelo.

9) PONS FABRICIUS

The Pons Fabricius is the oldest Roman bridge to have survived in the city. Built in 62 BC by L.Fabricius curator viarum it has been in continuous use ever since. In the Middle Ages it was called "Pons Judeurum" (Jewish bridge) because of the proximity of Ghetto. The bridge is adorned by four stone heads on two bodies leading to it being nicknamed ‘quattro capi’, or the bridge of four heads.

10) BATHS OF CARACALLA

The red-brick ruins of the Baths of Caracalla are situated southeast of the ancient city centre. The complex housed bathing facilities with seats for more than 1600 people and baths played an important role in the lives of the Roman citizens. The ritual bathing was an extensive process starting with a hot bath. Next up was the lukewarm tepidarium, followed by the cold frigidarium and finally ended by a swim in the natatio, an open air swimming pool.
The complex also contained leisure facilities such as libraries, gymnasiums, gardens, art galleries and restaurants. The Baths of Caracalla was known for its rich interior with its marble seats, mosaic covered walls and floors as well as fountains and statues.

Visit Campbell River BC

If you're touring Vancouver Island, you really should get up to the Campbell River area.

OK, if you're stopping in Victoria while you're on a cruise, it might be a little hard to get there. Save it for your next visit. But if you have the time, you'll be glad you included it in your itinerary.

This is a great area for enjoying the outdoors and watching wildlife. The rhythms of life here revolve around the salmon.... It's long been known as the Salmon Capital of the World. The fish returning to their spawning grounds attract anglers and animals.

More recently this area is becoming known as a destination for adventure and eco-tourism.

If you are interested in fishing, you probably have heard that there are five species of Pacific salmon that you can fish for depending on the season. You can fish for Chinook Salmon all year. (These are also known as King Salmon.) If you plan a trip for August you can fish for all five species!

Whether the salmon are hatching, feeding and growing in the river, traveling to the ocean or returning to spawn, their travel around and through the Discovery Passage attracts and sustains a wide variety of wildlife. It's like a Canadian safari... you can hope to see whales, bears, otters, eagles and ravens among other wildlife.

You'll see representation of these animals in the First Nations art too. The "First Nations" name encompasses native people all across Canada. Here in the Campbell River area, the members of First Nations tribes carved totems and made masks with beautiful representations of all of those animals.

Museums have great collections of the art, and cultural centers host drummers, singers and dancers wearing ceremonial regalia. Step back in history at the Museum at Campbell River and Kwagluth Museum.

There is a busy arts and culture scene. You'll find lots of local shops that feature works by local artists including authentic First Nations art, jewelry and carvings.

There is rock climbing, hiking, kayaking and canoeing. You'll find thousands of caves to explore if you like spelunking. There is even scuba diving, though I have to tell you, I'm a warm water diver... I took a pass on this one, but among divers, the Discovery Passage has a reputation as having clear water and lots of sea life to see. One unique experience is to "Snorkel with the Salmon" as they make their way upstream to spawn.

You can join a tour to visit the area or visit with a rental car. It's 95 miles (155 km) from Victoria. If you come over on a ferry and arrive at Nanaimo, it's 165 miles (265 km). You can even sail in if you have a boat. (Consult tide tables and marine charts for approaches to the Campbell River.)

As far as accommodations, you can go wilderness camping or you can enjoy destination resorts for fishing and adventure. Some of the resorts offer float plane tours, golf packages, and whale or bear watching tours. You can fly in on small local carriers.

Campbell River may call itself the Salmon Capital of the World, but you don't have to be a fisherman to visit and enjoy it.
