Nanaimo, a beautiful place to explore
We all know we have some of the most beautiful views in Canada – yes we are being that bold; in Canada! But how do you get out and explore everything that this country has to offer?
We’ve got you covered with a few things you can do to explore the local area – it’s scenery, it’s food and more!
Nature ideas:
1- If you haven’t made the trek over to the Morrell Nature Sanctuary in a while, or ever, this is the perfect place to start! Get out and explore this beautiful area and all its little nature knowledge. Have kids? This is a wonderful area to teach them about treating the environment with respect and how cool it actually is. From there you can explore the dam. The fun never stops!
2- Waterfall tour – We have a few beautiful waterfalls in Nanaimo, why not head on an adventure to explore and find your favourite! But in case you need a guide:
3- Whale watching and ocean walks – Who doesn’t like to get out and explore the views so up close and personal?!
Not into Nature – we get it… why not do a food tour?
YES, A FOOD TOUR!!
We recently shared some of our fav places to eat in town https://bit.ly/2Jfg1lq
But how about adding the Nanaimo Bar tour to the list – yes, our own dessert and it is a Canadian classic! There are 39 GLORIOUS DESSERT stops to eat your way through.
Remember to check out all the things you can do with your family – waterparks, parks, and recreational activities, or what about taking them to a local park to get to know your neighbours.
Exploring is the best part of becoming part of a community, especially if you just moved into the area!
