    Thanks for watching my dudes, I had an absolute blast putting this one together. Tofino is truly a special place. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them!

      Um, im so sorry to be a "karen" but you really should not have been here when all the restaurants and parks were closed. They were closed for a reason. Tofino is very remote with only one icu bed and one ventilator in our tiny hospital. We have many elder indigenous who are vulnerable. Tofino was not welcoming tourists during this time yet some accommodation places were flouting the rules. I hope that in the future you will be a little more mindful in respecting the sensitive nature of some areas and do your research.

    now is not the time to be traveling to Tofino... as much as we love to share the special places the island has to offer, Tofino does not have the hospital capacity to have people from the mainland - there is ONE respirator in the ONE hospital there - if covid was to hit Tofino it would hurt the community severely. Just something to keep in mind this summer, and maybe postpone your trips until next summer!

    Tofino is absolutely stunning. I had such great time with a party of 5 for a weekend getaway drive from Vancouver, the beautiful unceded territory of the Coast Salish (Musqueam, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh lands) to Vancouver Island. On top of some of the great features you mentioned at Tofino...after beach, sand and surfing it was awesome grabbing some taco bits at Tacofino!

      Thanks so much Ryan! They've been sailing with reduced capacity but we made reservations in advance so it wasn't an issue. Before you board they do a brief COVID screening. During the trip they ask you to remain in your vehicle, if you choose to get out they ask you wear a mask. Overall it wasn't a big deal at all!

    Not to be that guy, but I live in Tofino and our local indigenous communities are begging tourists to stay away until we have proper access to testing for covid. We have 10 hospital beds. 1 ventilator. To share between 5+ communities. This video is going to make people think that it was OKAY for you to travel here, and they will think it’s OKAY for them to travel here. Please do proper research on the ISOLATED communities you visit during a pandemic. Thanks!
