growth timbers will take your breath
away as you meander your way along
the well-marked and fenced trails.
Spread your arms across one of the
irregular tree trunks, feeling its mag-
nificent strength and gigantic width it
has taken 800 years to develop.
Tofino
Located in the region of Clayoquot
Sound, Tofino is at the end of the road
and one of the most dramatic and un-
spoiled areas on the island. Although
there are only 2,000 easygoing resi-
dents living here, there’s something
here for absolutely everyone. Fishing,
hiking, camping, kayaking and
even bear-watching, as well as
bird-watching, are all possible.
The surfing here is some of the
best in North America, and the
storm-watching and whale-
watching is something never to
be forgotten.
Capilano Canyon
After leaving Vancouver Island and
docking at Horseshoe Bay, it would
be a shame if you missed seeing one
of the top attractions in Vancouver—
Capilano Suspension Bridge. Crossing
the bridge swinging over the deep
Capilano Canyon below will bring
you into a lush West Coast rainforest
and to another popular attraction—the
Treetop Adventure with a bird’s-eye
view of the 1,300-year-old, old-
growth Douglas firs.
Ferry Service
Cruising between British Columbia’s mainland and Vancouver Island with BC
Ferries is an opportunity to enjoy a minicruise, relaxing in the comfortable
seating lounges while watching the breathtaking scenery. Both a vehicle and
passenger ferry, BC Ferries is one of the largest ferry systems in the world.
For information, call 888-BCFERRY (888-223-3779).
