Going to the island.

Thanks for all the info. I think I will pass on the Shaw centre and Gardens and go up the west coast instead. Especially if they paved across to Cowichan. Been on that road about 16 years ago and it was crazy. Definitely want to show my kids the Coombs goats. We will be stationed at Ladysmith, and doing day trips from there. Probably check out the Vancouver aquarium on the way back off the island. Then Hell's gate. I know I won't have a chance to see it all in four days, but will try to cram in some really cool things for the kids.

Just got back from Tofino a few days ago. One of our favorite places to go. If you have teenagers I would recommend: sea kayaking to the big trees on Meares Island, a hike to the crashed World War II plane near radar hill or a whale watching tour. My brother-in-law took a Zodiac tour last Wednesday and saw Orcas, Eagles, Sea Lions, Sea Otters and Puffins.
