The best of Vancouver Island in one trip
The E&N line winds its way up Vancouver Island’s east coast seven days a week, leaving from the “Blue Bridge” in Victoria each morning and returning around 6pm.
Shortly after leaving Victoria the scenery changes quickly: Urban gives way to rural as the train travels up the Malahat. You travel over picturesque trestles, through lush forest and along spectacular mountain vistas, all dotted with the small towns and villages that give Vancouver Island its unique charm. If you’ve always wanted to ride the E&N line but have never made the time, this is the perfect opportunity!
