Hi there! It's Erika from Blue Crush, your local host. I am on from 9am - 6pm daily. We've set the condo up to be ready for your independent stay. Of course, if you have any questions, I am here to help!
Your landing base will be the Moorage condo building, which is located in downtown Ucluelet, on the marina. It is within walking distance to restaurants, shops and right on the water. Leave the car parked and stroll car free. From the condo, the Pacific Rim National park is a short 10 min drive, where you can explore the beautiful protected beaches and temperate rainforest climate, like Florencia Bay, Long Beach and more.
Rest up after an active day exploring with a curated meal at Pluvio, get on the water with a fish charter, have a lazy afternoon on the couch watching the water (the seals are very active here!) or explore the arts scene at the local galleries and shops. There are many options to navigate but the biggest one is to be in the moment, unplug and enjoy our island vibes at the end of the road.
TRANSPORTATION
To get to Tofino from the mainland, you need to take a ferry to Nanaimo (closest) or Victoria. From there, it's a scenic drive. Anywhere from 3 (Nanaimo) to 5 hours (Victoria). You can also fly into the airport with Pacific Coastal Airlines (the flight is stunning and so quick!) or seasonally, take a float plane from the Vancouver harbour downtown to Tofino harbour downtown.
There is a designated pedestrian path we call the MUP (multi use path) which is safe and has two lanes for walkers, bikers, joggers, strollers - you name it!. We encourage you to use it; it's one of the things that makes Tofino unique. The free Shuttle bus runs during the summer months from town to the info centre. There is a city transit service that runs from Tofino to Ucluelet with limited service. There are a couple bike rentals (pedal bike and e-bike). There is also a local rideshare app called Coastal Rides, our version of Uber (download their app). Tofino Taxi is another option (though only one driver/car). For larger groups, there is Tiki Bus + Pacific Rim Navigators that needs to be pre arranged. There is a Budget Rental car service at the Tofino Airport (also needs to be pre-arranged).
PARKING
1 parking spot is included with the building, either in the front or back. There is taxi service or embrace walking or biking in town to get around.
