Sky-High Summer: Why Malahat SkyWalk Is Vancouver Island’s Ultimate Outdoor Escape (Win!)

June 25, 2025

If you’re searching for the ultimate summer experience in B.C., look no further than Malahat SkyWalk. Perched high above the Saanich Inlet and surrounded by the natural beauty of Vancouver Island, this award-winning attraction has pulled out all the stops for its sizzling Summer 2025 lineup—and it’s anything but ordinary.

A West Coast Wonderland for Every Generation

Located just 35 minutes from downtown Victoria and nestled in the heart of Malahat Nation territory, Malahat SkyWalk offers a one-of-a-kind fusion of nature, adventure, and culture. From its 10-storey Spiral Tower with 360° panoramic views to the elevated TreeWalk among arbutus and Douglas Fir forest, it’s an engineering marvel rooted in sustainability. (In fact, it just won the 2024 EcoStar Award for Experiential Tourism and is proudly Biosphere committed.)

Now, with extended summer hours and free shuttle service from Victoria, there’s never been a better time to visit.

Summer Highlights: Nature, Nostalgia & Next-Level Fun

Yoga at New Heights (Saturdays & Sundays, June 21–Sept 7, 8–9AM): Start your weekend with a wellness boost—yoga classes from Lab Westshore take place atop the Spiral Tower, offering fresh ocean air, breathtaking views, and early access to the SkyWalk before it opens to the public.

The Raptors: Birds of Prey Experience (Wed–Sun, June 14–Sept 7, 9AM–2PM): Back by popular demand, this interactive display invites guests to meet B.C.’s majestic birds of prey up close and personal. It’s educational, awe-inspiring, and included with admission.

Summer SkyWalk Music Series (Weekends, June 14–Sept 7, 2:30–5:30PM): Enjoy live performances by local artists in the Tower Plaza, where hammocks, picnic tables, and cold drinks set the scene for laid-back summer vibes. Think sunset sessions with artists like Big Awesome, Julie Corrigan, and Dos Cabezas.

That Bubble Guy (Weekends, June 14–Sept 7, 9:30AM–12:30PM): Kids and adults alike will be enchanted by giant floating bubble art from this local legend. It’s whimsical, interactive, and pure summer magic.

New Eats & Local Treats

No day trip is complete without food, and Malahat SkyWalk is serving up some of the island’s best:

  • Grill & Chill: Smash burgers, gourmet hot dogs, pizza, and B.C. brews.
  • Happy Camper Cart: Fresh, crispy twisted churros and local Drumroaster coffee.
  • Softy’s Dairy-Free Desserts: Swirling up their signature soft serve (available only at Malahat SkyWalk).

Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Get to know Luke the Sasquatch on the newly enhanced Luke’s Lane Nature Trail, now fully interactive with a hidden-creature scavenger hunt and prizes for those who find all the animals. Keep your eyes peeled for real wildlife, too—frogs, birds, and yes, a few legendary driftwood sculptures by artist Tanya Bub, including a 7-foot Sasquatch ready for your next selfie.

Plan Your Visit

  • Free shuttle from downtown Victoria
  • Extended hours through October
  • Award-winning, accessible for all ages
  • Located on Malahat First Nation land, proudly committed to sustainable tourism

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, nature lover, yogi, or sunset chaser, Malahat SkyWalk offers something for everyone—and this summer, it’s raising the bar (and the view). Learn more and plan your visit at malahatskywalk.com. —Vita Daily
