Hey Gary,

Since I happen to live on the big island of the bunch I figured I'd point you in the right direction. The Big Island is Vancouver Island and is much bigger than the rest (500 km long).

The gulf islands are the small islands and really beautiful. Some are more developed than others. Some have gas stations, some don't. In any case most aren't very big; I would recommend taking bikes if you can. You could park the van and cruise around at a leisurely cycling pace.

Enjoy!

The travel section had a nice article about island hopping in British Columbia. Has anyone on the list done this with their vanagon. What are the costs and travel time on the ferrys? What places work well for camping? Is getting gas a problem? Any and all information welcome. thanks gary
