Getting to Tofino BC

For visitors to Vancouver Island, a Tofino trip involves taking the BC Ferries from the Metro Vancouver Area to Nanaimo and then driving (about 3 hours) across the Island. There are two terminals on the mainland that will go to the Nanaimo region. There is Horseshoe Bay (North Vancouver) to Departure Bay (1.5 hours) or Tsawwassen (South of Vancouver, closer to USA border) to Duke Point (2 hours).

I recommend making a reservation.

For more information on the drive from Tofino to Nanaimo that includes stops to make along the way, check out my post on driving from Nanaimo to Tofino.

If you are doing this in the winter, expect snowy conditions along the way. Tourism Tofino recommends you check out the Sutton Pass Webcam as the area can be very snowy! It is a small highway, one lane each way (for the most part) and accidents or poor road conditions can delay your arrival.

You can also fly into Tofino ( YAZ Tofino-Long Beach Airport) by plane from Vancouver. This is increasing in popularity and there are daily flights.

What to Pack

I have a handy list for camping with kids that includes pretty much everything you need to have a great trip to Tofino with your family. If there is something on the list that I forgot, please let me know!

Be Bear Aware

Bears and other wild animals may be encountered anywhere on Vancouver Island. They are not an attraction and can be unpredictable and dangerous. Ensure you do not contribute to food-conditioning. Garbage or food may be irresistible to a bear and once they begin eating human food and waste, they become food-conditioned and become a threat to park visitors. Often these bears end up having to be destroyed as they will not stay away from humans and pose a threat.

• Never feed or approach a bear or other wildlife
• store food in airtight containers in your RV or vehicle
• store garbage with your food and pack it out or ensure it is disposed of correctly. Never throw it into toilets. Only paper products should be burned in a campfire.
• cook well away from your tent
• do not leave cooking utensils or grease lying around
• toiletries can also attract bears, deodorant, toothpaste and other products with perfumes should be stored with your food, not in a tent.

For more bear information http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/misc/bears/

Wolf Encounters

Normally wolves do not desire to come into contact with humans and will avoid areas with people in them. However, some have become habituated to humans, drawn by food and pets.

To avoid encounters with wolves in Tofino and Clayoquot Sound

• cook and store food away from your tent
• use food caches or hang food, toiletries and garbage
• secure all loose items as wolves have been reported removing personal and non-food items
• keep children nearby and in sight
• keep pets at home or on a leash at all times
• choose a camp near toilet facilities
• do not camp anywhere near an animal carcass. It is a natural attractant for them to scavenge
• wash dishes in a container and dispose of dirty water back into a water source and away from camp
• if paddling, do not come ashore near a wolf that is foraging or swimming
• do not clean fish near your camp
• do not store food in a kayak as wolves have been known to open hatches
• do not approach under any circumstances. Report an aggressive wild animal by calling a conservation officer 1-877-952-7277

What to do If a Wolf Approaches

If a wolf appears unafraid or aggressive, take the following action as soon as you notice the animal

• before the wolf gets within 100 meters, raise your arms and wave them to appear larger, make loud noises or use air horns, throw sticks, rocks or sand to scare them
• when in a group, act in unison to send a clear message that wolves are not welcome
• If a wolf displays aggressive behaviour back away slowly, do not turn your back to the wolf
• use pepper spray if you have the skills to use it safety. Ensure you know the range of your spray and take weather into consideration
