Ammonite Falls, Nanaimo
"This is a local classic and somewhere you won't want to miss on your visit through Vancouver Island's second biggest city.
You can access the falls through two separate trail heads. One off of Jameson Rd. and one off of Weigles Rd. Both trails lead to the falls but follow a different trails to get there.
This video shows the trail from Weigles Rd. Parking lot. It's my preferred route!
Have you visited these classic falls?" - 📹️/✏️: @driftwoodsphotography

"Nanaimo’s most infamous adventure!
The Bungy Jump is terrifyingly terrific. Ignoring everything you know about jumping off from high places (especially if you’re scared of heights!) and taking the 150ft jump over the Nanaimo River is the ultimate thrill.
One moment you’re looking down, maybe wondering if you can ACTUALLY do it, but once you’re in the air, it’s almost impossible to not shout “woo hoo!” as you realize you’ve done it! It’s absolutely electrifying!
Life’s adventures are about creating memories, and the Bungy Jump @wildplaynanaimo is an unforgettable experience." 📹️/✏️: @betterwithadventure
