What is the best time to visit Port Alberni for outdoor activities?

Vancouver Island’s mild climate means outdoor adventures like caving can take place year-round, but summer is best for camping and taking full advantage of the lakes and rivers for water sports. Late summer and early fall is the annual salmon run, during which you can spot the scarlet-hued fish swimming upstream to spawn.
