“Enrapturing” describes many of the Cowichan’s attractions …
... but the region also has attractions that are intriguing, novel, educational and just plain entertaining. You’ll have no trouble finding things to do in the Cowichan, whatever your age and interests or those of your travelling companions. Here are just a few suggestions: • Want to see the splendour of wildlife up close? At The Raptors bird centre, watch falcons, eagles, hawks, owls and other birds of prey in dramatic flying demonstrations, and interact with the birds – even sign up for a falconry course. • Visit the BC Forest Discovery Centre for a hands-on, interactive treat for all ages. Ride a steam train, see a collection of historical locomotives and marvel at the cross-section of a 1,300-year-old fir tree from the region. • Walk across the structurally stunning Kinsol Trestle, the largest of the eight trestles on the Cowichan Valley Trail/Trans Canada Trail route.
