Tofino

Cathedral Grove is between Parksville and Port Alberni, which is enroute to Tofino.
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.

Yeah, during the off-season, we went whale watching. It was only about $75/person & we spent several glorious hours out on the water looking at the migrating grey whales, pods of Pacific white sided porpoises, sea lions, seals, eagles, etc. Then we went to the hotsprings for part of the afternoon. It was awesome, especially since we had unseasonably nice weather.

If you go to Ucluelet, it's cheaper to stay than in Tofino & you can go fishing with one of the charters. Then drive out to enjoy Long Beach & Tofino.
