Sidney can be used as a base to explore the raw beauty and fantastic beaches of Vancouver Island. The island is home to several protected parks, and as such there are several hiking and biking trails to explore. You can even take the ferry to visit the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve to view rare birds and plants. In Sidney, a must-visit is the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea, an aquarium-cum-learning center. From the city, you can also head out for whale-watching tours, surfing, and take a ferry to explore the nearby islands.
The pleasant climate combined with unlimited outdoor activities makes Sidney a great spot to visit around the year. Keep reading to find out more about some of the top long-term rentals in Sidney, Canada.
