Set in the heart of the Cowichan Valley, Duncan is a charming small city known for its rich Indigenous culture, relaxed pace, and easy access to Vancouver Island’s countryside. Often called the “City of Totems,” Duncan pairs walkable streets and local shops with nearby wineries, hiking trails, and coastal views. It is an ideal stop for travellers looking to slow down, explore local flavour, and experience the Island beyond the busy coastal hubs.
