"So Worth the Drive From Victoria"

The Malahat Skywalk is a must see/do experience. Tucked away along Hwy 1, about 45mins drive from downtown Victoria. It's a very accessible boardwalk and slow grade ramp to the top. Views are amazing and the nature is very tranquil. The slide down was a fun trip too! The weekend we were there was the Four Winds festival which included indigenous craft vendors and tribal dances. A really great experience all around!

"Needing more connections with all native peoples."

I spent 3hrs there, and could have spent another hr easily. I reccomend taking your time, reading every sign, look for all the driftwood animals. I loved seeing the pair of vultures resting on the bluf under the skywalk, and watching them cruise the updrafts. Beautiful view, well worth the admission, the net was very cool, my sister was terrified, but she walked out on it, and i laughted at her as I lounged out in the middle. The slide is awesome I wanted to run back up and do it again. A few things I wish you had, 1) Lots more native people's dancing and teaching., Malahat, as well as the surrounding Nations, people's, stories and dances. People NEED to be reminded to care for the earth and her children of all kinds. 2) actual real cream ice cream. Oat milk ice cream is gross. 3) actual native dishes and snacks. All over rating 10/10. Much love. -TM-

"A day at The Malahat skywalk"

I was in awe since the main entrance. Various carvings along your adventure to the towering skywalk. The viewing is spectacular. Not for the faint of heart to walk across the netting that is at the top in the middle area. My friend and I had a London fog tea and a homemade chili and a bun. The gift shop with its many treasures was hard not purchase something. So I purchased a lovely indigenous reusable bag, two bracelets and a two pack of espresso cups with hummingbirds on them. Being a member is great receiving 20% discount.

Travelling with my aged parents was a worry, but with the ease of access and comfortable walk to the top, it was a breeze. My father is 76 and he went in the spiral tube on his way down, which is something even I was not comfortable attempting. A very good experience.
