Introducing Port Alberni

Show mapClose map

Although its key fishing and forestry sectors have been declining for decades, Alberni – located at the head of Vancouver Island’s longest inlet – was initially slow to develop itself as a tourist destination. But the double whammy of aboriginal and pioneer heritage plus easy access to some truly outstanding natural wilderness makes this an ideal spot for an off-the-beaten-path visit. For more information, check in with the Alberni Valley Visitor Centre (250-724-6535; www.avcoc.com; 2533 Redford St; 8am-6pm mid-May–Aug, 9am-5pm Mon-Fri, 10am-2pm Sat & Sun Sep–mid-May).
