Fat Salmon Backpacker's Hostel is a progressive, fun and funky space that provides inexpensive accommodation to progressive, fun and funky budget international travellers while in Port Alberni, BC. Let us help you properly explore Vancouver Island.


Of course, the Pacific Rim National Park is what it is an incredible piece of protected land and ocean that encompasses rich forest and breathtaking beaches. The days of naked partying on Long Beach are pretty much gone, but it is still a nature lover's haven. This is one of the best surfing spots in Canada (October February), as many diehards will attest. Don't go home without having eaten it up.

Sproat Lake is nestled comfortably in the Alberni Valley. Due to the warm temperature of the lake's waters (in comparison to the nearby ocean), Spoat attracts many swimmers, water skiers, wind surfers, and fisher people. It is a haven for the fun cottagetype lifestyle, even if only for a few days of a hosteller's stay (and home to the Mars Water Bombers).

Stamp River Falls illustrates well the fact that Port Alberni is renowned for being the Salmon Capital of Canada, as it is site to some of the most fantastic salmon runs and ladders in the world. Salmon boot it up the falls to spawn and you can go watch their journey. Photo ops around every conceivable corner in the trail. Neato!

For those of you who are somewhat organized and actually plan your travels, there is the West Coast Trail, which tends to book up really early. But, of course, like everything else in life, there are always cancellations, so despair not. Port Alberni is the last place on the Vancouver Island map before you embark upon the Trail to get a civilized pint or hot shower. The Fat Salmon hostel would be happy to see you off on your magnanimous journey properly.

Cathedral Grove, the most overwhelming forest of old growth Douglas fir trees you will see in Canada, is located on the highway that leads into Port Alberni. A wonderful spot to remind yourself that we are only here for a good time, not a long time, so have a grand time while the sun is shining upon you
