The Vancouver Island Towns Everyone Drives Past: Chemainus, Duncan & Cowichan Bay

Come along with us as we continue our Vancouver Island adventure! 🇨🇦🏝️ Today we're heading south from Nanaimo to explore some of Vancouver Island's charming smaller communities. Our first stop is Chemainus, a town well known for the incredible murals found throughout its streets. We spend some time exploring the town before continuing south to Duncan, where we check out the downtown area and some of the city's famous totem poles. From there, we make our way to the beautiful seaside community of Cowichan Bay. With its colourful waterfront buildings, boats in the harbour and laid-back coastal atmosphere, it was a great place to slow things down and enjoy another side of Vancouver Island. 📍 Places visited: 0:00 Intro Chemainus 0:33 Duncan 10:04 Cowichan Bay 14:34 Music in this video: Music: Walk Musician: @iksonmusic Music: Sunshine On My Face Musician: Jason Walker (from Audiio) Music: Heart Beats Musician: Liam Back 🎥 GEAR I USE 📷 Vlogging Camera (DJI Osmo Pocket 4) https://amzn.to/4vQTLB3 🚁 Drone (DJI Mini 3) https://amzn.to/4ej8ehJ 📱 Dash Cam (Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra) https://amzn.to/4oskzF5 🎤 Microphone (DJI Mic Mini 2 TX + 1 RX) https://amzn.to/3QbgXe5 🚗 Dash Cam Mount (MRGLAS 2026) https://amzn.to/4v7mVvA 🎬 Mobile Gimbal (DJI Osmo Mobile 7P) https://amzn.to/4aho7o3 🕶️ Pocket 4 ND Filters (NEEWER Magnetic ND & CPL Filter Kit) https://amzn.to/3S7oFGD ☀️ ND Filter for Smartphone/Dash Cam (NEEWER 52mm MRC Variable ND Filter) https://amzn.to/4giXmTH 🚁 DJI Mini 3 CPL Filter (K&F Concept CPL Filter) https://amzn.to/43sIpqN 🎒 Travel Backpack (KROSER Travel Laptop Backpack 17.3-18.4") https://amzn.to/4ghETaa 🔋 Power Bank (100W AC Outlet, 27000mAh/98Wh) https://amzn.to/4aMFLQu
