Haven't been there by road in a long while, but I think it's about a 5 hour drive to Tofino from Vic.

that's about right. Tofino is definitely the most well known of the two sister towns, despite Ucluelet's larger population. not for long, though. Jack Nicklaus has designed an 18 hole golf course to be built in Ucluelet, and many more resorts are in the works. i spent 6 years in ucluelet and eventually it's going to get to the point where I won't be able to afford to visit! There's a lot to do in Tofino. be sure to go on the hotsprings tour and whalewatching! Ucluelet is worth visiting to walk the Wild Pacific Trail.
