Tofino

Taking a day trip to Vancouver Island

We hopped a seaplane at the dock in Stanley Park and jetted away to the beautiful ocean carved Vancouver island. Our stop?... to the top of the island, a small coastal village of Tofino. With extremes ranging from mild to wild and glamping to life affirmingly raw, we set out to adventure in nature.

Great for kids and adults alike, Tofino is a quaint town surrounded by the Pacific Rim National park, located in Clayoquot Sound. It was an old fishing and logging town which is now great for kids young and old, due to the amount of activities that are offered in this mesmerizing place. The stunning landscapes and ecological diversity of Tofino’s location allow a range of activities from kayaking, bird watching, surfing (for all abilities), world class fishing and amazing wildlife tours to name a few.

Our choice was backpacking in majestic wilderness parks, marveling at orcas, and hanging out with the locals - black bears, deer, bald eagles and the other furred, feathered and finned wildlife.

After a long day of adventuring in nature we stopped at The Wolf In the Fog for some deliciously fresh seafood.
