Air Tour of the West Coast, Tofino & Hotsprings Cove |
|
See Pacific Rim National Park, visit a west coast village and relax in a thermal hot spring |
|
|
|
|
We depart from Vancouver's Coal Harbour with a picnic basket of gourmet cheeses, fresh bread, and refreshments. We climb out over Georgia Straight and the spectacular mountains of Vancouver Island. We then begin our descent into Barclay Sound and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean.
Cruising past Ucluelet we begin our west coast tour along Canada's Pacific Rim National Park and its famous Long Beach (11 miles or 18 kilometers). Watch closely for California sea lions frolicking on the rocks or passionate surfers braving the frigid waters.
A stop in the coastal village of Tofino for 1 hour lets you browse through this colorful little west coast village.
Before long, we strike out for Hotsprings Cove. Enjoy a half hour stroll through a giant Red Cedar and Sitka Spruce Rainforest enroute to a long soak in the thermal hot springs. The springs are so relaxing that you may need to be carried back to the plane. Nonetheless, you wouldn't want to sleep through the beautiful vistas you'll see on your return. |
