Hiking the Most Remote Trail on Vancouver Island | North Coast Trail (80km in 4 Days!)

We took on the North Coast Trail, one of the most remote and raw multi-day hikes in all of Canada — and honestly, it might have been the most beautiful, muddy, soul-resetting experience we’ve ever had. Over 4 days, we hiked nearly 80 km through deep Pacific Northwest forest, pebble beaches that go on forever, knee-deep mud, creeks, rope sections, and remote campsites where the only sounds are crashing waves and eagles overhead. We crossed rivers by cable car, saw black bears hunting breakfast across from our tent, and ended each day with tired feet and full hearts.

This trail is no joke — it’s remote, rugged, and requires real prep. But if you're looking for a reset, something that strips things down to what really matters… this might just be it. 👉 We did the trail in 4 days (fast pace), but everyone should adjust based on time, fitness, and gear weight. More days = heavier backpack. 🎥 This vlog is for the wild-at-heart. For the people who would choose a million-star sky over five-star hotels. For anyone who’s felt that special kind of tired that only comes after a full day in the wilderness. Let us take you there. 💬 Ask questions in the comments, and we’ll help however we can.
