Are you ready to be awe-struck by our majestic snow-capped mountains, massive trees born during the crusades, and rushing rivers transforming into ocean?  Come catch a brag-worthy chinook or snap photos of bears from our boardwalk.  Be welcomed onto the traditional Nuu-chah-nulth territory of the Tseshaht and Hupacasath First Nations. Consider the freedom you could feel in our central island location and our affordable cost of living.

This is Port Alberni: The Heart of Vancouver Island. Come see for yourself.

Fall asleep to nature’s own version of ‘white noise’: rushing waters, lapping waves, or wind whispering through branches. Wake up in the wilderness, surrounded by forest, lake, river, or ocean. Feel rejuvenated by our fresh, crisp, air.

Carpe Diem: Seize the Play.
 

Playful by nature? Well, we’ve got a treat for you. Water. Wind & Air. Land. Even Rail.

Love to play on water? Try paddle boarding, dragon boating, outrigging, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, water skiing, wakeboarding or even renting a houseboat.

Prefer Wind and Air? Try Kite surfing, glider ride or zip lining

More of a Land person? Try racing the train in the No. 7 Challenge 10K, hiking, biking, ATV rides, horseback rides, Thunder in the Valley drag races, or riding your motorbike at the Toy Run

How about Rail? Take the No. 7 1929 Baldwin ex-logging locomotive to McLean’s Mill National Historic Site, or perhaps the Speeder on Alberni Pacific Railway. There are themed rides throughout the season including a Pirate Train and fake-robbery.
