The Experience
1. Malahat SkyWalk (2 Hours)
Ascend a 600-metre elevated boardwalk through an ancient Arbutus and Douglas Fir canopy leading to a majestic ten-storey spiral tower. From the 360-degree summit, you'll witness breathtaking views of the Saanich Inlet, Mt. Baker, and the Finlayson Arm. Children will love the thrill of the "Adventure Net" crossing and the exhilarating 20-metre spiral slide ride back to the forest floor.
2. Shawnigan Lake Waterfront (1 Hour)
A serene lakeside escape surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills. This stop provides a peaceful panoramic view of the glacier-fed waters and the community of Shawnigan Lake. Kids can burn off energy in the open green spaces, skip stones along the shoreline, or explore the docks and fresh-water beaches.
3. Kinsol Trestle (1 Hour)
Step onto history at one of the tallest free-standing wooden railway trestles in the world. Standing 44 metres above the Koksilah River, the bridge offers dramatic vistas of the deep canyon and winding river below. The flat, easy-access trail is ideal for strollers and little explorers, featuring educational plaques that bring the "Black Bridge" history to life.
4. Merridale Cidery & Distillery (1 Hour)
Unwind at a historic orchard where rural charm meets artisan craft. While adults sample award-winning ciders and spirits, children can explore the whimsical "Faerie Trails" and lush apple groves. The golden-hour light through the trees provides a stunning backdrop for the family to relax with farm-to-table treats.
