We just returned from our stay in Tofino and I already miss it. The beautiful view over the ocean, the nice little village and of course all the fun we had.
We left Vancouver last Saturday at 7am and drove for 40 minutes to the ferry. On the ferry we had a nice view over the ocean. After 1h40 we arrived on Vancouver Island. Our first stop was the Coombs market. This market is famous for their goats, which life on the roof of the shops. We had a short lunch break and then made our way on to the Cathedral grove. The Cathedral grove is a part of the MacMillian Provincal Park. In the park short walks can be made to see the huge and big trees. The biggest tree is 9meters. After hugging
the trees we went back on the bus onto the waterfalls. At around 4pm we arrived in Tofino where some of us went on a sunset whale watching trips. The others wandered around the village, grabbed some food and visited the Toquin beach. At 7pm we all gathered together at the bus and drove to our hotel, Jamie’s Rainforest inn. At the hotel our dinner was already waiting for us and after the dinner we had a small campfire.
The next morning was an early morning, but luckily we had a delicious breakfast and could go on for our activities that day. Many activities were planned for that day. The first group went surfing and later at the day people went off to go kayaking, bear watching, whale watching or taking the water taxi to Meares Island for the big tree trail. We also were luckily that we could visit the Clayoquot island, also known as Stubbs island. This island is privately owned by Susan Bloom and is only open for visitors on the long weekend in May. After everyone finished their activities for the day it was time to grab some dinner
at the village and it was possible to enjoy the sunset. At 9pm most of us made our way back to the hotel, where we had some drinks and played some games.
The next morning we got our breakfast package, including a muffin, apple and orange juice and off we went again for the next set of activities. Again we had beautiful weather. At 1pm we had to be back at the bus and we started making our way back to the ferry. We arrived in Vancouver at 9pm and made our way straight back home.
We hope you all enjoyed your time in Tofino and hope to see you tonight at the Flashmob!
Ps: we do not have a pub night this week, but we have a pub&club night on Friday.
