About

Rising 250 meters above sea level, the Malahat SkyWalk is an architecturally impressive tower that offers some of the best views on Vancouver Island. From the top of its spiral staircase, you can see Mt. Baker, Finlayson Arm fjord, the Saanich Peninsula, and islands in Canada and the United States.

Walking along this elevated boardwalk, be on the lookout for sculptures of local animals hiding along the way. Going up the skyway ramp, you'll pass the treetops and look out over the horizon. At its peak, you can walk out onto a solid netting over a large hole in the middle of the ramp. Walk back down, or take the slide for a quick trip.

There are chairs and benches at the bottom to rest or to enjoy the views of the water, along with food stalls.
