Storm Watching in Tofino
featuring Victoria & Chemainus
Known for its rich variety of landscapes from high rocky mountains and lush rainforests to sheltered and jagged coastlines, Vancouver Island is the perfect place to witness the power of nature.
There is nothing more exhilarating than the fury of the wind, rain and waves during a winter storm and there is no better place to experience the power and beauty of Mother Nature than on BC’s rugged west coast in Tofino. Plus, enjoy the beauty of our capital city, Victoria and the charm of Chemainus including a hilarious live theatrical production of ELF the Musical.
TOUR ITINERARY
DAY 1 – VICTORIA, BC
We board BC Ferries in Tsawwassen for an afternoon sailing to Vancouver Island. Explore Victoria’s impressive landmarks such as the Empress Hotel, Parliament Buildings and stunning waterfront. Situated in the heart of the Inner Harbour, our first evening is spent at the beautiful Huntingdon Manor.
SPOTLIGHT
Victoria’s Chinatown is the oldest in Canada and the narrowest street in Canada, Fan Tan Alley, is located there.
DAY 2 – TOFINO, BC
Our leisurely day starts with a visit to Coomb’s Old Country Market and a stroll through Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park to view one of the most accessible old growth stands of Douglas Fir. Travel scenic roads to Tofino arriving late afternoon to our oceanfront rooms at Best Western Tin Wis Resort for two nights.
EXPERIENCES & HIGHLIGHTS
With a tree canopy of over 260 feet high in some places and featuring a magnificent temperate rainforest with enormous 800-year-old trees, a carpet of ferns and draping moss, Cathedral Grove is a humbling experience to behold.
