Getting here is easy, from the mainland / Vancouver area BC Ferries provides a regular scheduled car ferry service from both the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal (25kms south of Vancouver) or Horseshoe Bay Terminal (10kms north of Vancouver) located in West Vancouver.

Once in Nanaimo, driving time to Tofino is approximately 3 hours. If you drive from Victoria it takes approximately 4.5 hours.

Driving West on route 4 across Vancouver Island takes you past the town of Coombs, stop and visit the Farm Market with the goats on the roof. Further towards Port Alberni is Cathedral Grove - worth getting out to marvel at the stands of timber and old growth forest!

Once past Port Alberni as you drive further west, you will be amazed as the road winds through river canyons and valley with intoxicating views, past sheer rock bluffs & peaks with glaciers. Watch the vegetation change as you approach our rugged West coast! You'll pass beautiful Kennedy Lake, Vancouver Island's largest freshwater lake.

Arriving onto the Pacific Rim peninsula you'll drive through Pacific Rim National Park ...stop and stretch your legs on Long Beach and be awed by the pristine natural beauty miles of sand, windswept shores and crashing waves!
