Stay • Dine • Sip
Your business helps shape the Island experience — and we want people to find you. When you register with The Vancouver Island App, your location is pinned on the map or listed in the directory, making it easy for locals and visitors to discover the places that make our communities unforgettable. From cozy B&Bs and specialty stays to gourmet dining, coffee spots, spas, entertaining pubs, vineyards, and craft brewers — your business becomes part of the Island’s most-loved experiences.
Registration connects you with people who value local character and unique moments. Visitors come here for the charm they can’t find anywhere else, and locals rely on trusted places that feel like home. By registering, your business becomes part of a curated collection of local treasures — the places people recommend, return to, and remember.
If you’d like to be part of something even bigger, you can also register to join the Local Explorer Challenge. It’s a year‑round Island‑wide experience that encourages people to explore new communities, support local businesses, and enjoy the unique flavours, stays, and experiences that define Vancouver Island.
Showcase what makes your business special — and let your experience become part of the Island’s story of discovery.
