Malahat SkyWalk
A 600-metre wooden walkway among the forest canopy leads to a 32-metre spiral tower overlooking Saanich Inlet and the Gulf Islands.
The Malahat SkyWalk opened in 2021 at Malahat Summit, about 30 km north of Victoria. Visitors first walk a barrier-free canopy trail of roughly 600 metres through Douglas fir and bayberry woodland, then climb a spiral wooden tower about 32 metres high. From the top, at around 250 metres above sea level, you can look over Finlayson Arm, the Saanich Peninsula and the Gulf Islands, and on clear days see Mount Baker. The tower has a climbing net at the summit, and you can descend by spiral slide. Admission is about CAD 40, and booking online is recommended. The drive from Victoria along Highway 1 takes about 30 minutes.
