Meares Island Kayak Trip from Tofino, British Columbia
Our trip to Uclulet and Tofino. Meares Island is one of the many islands surrounding the Village of Tofino, British Columbia, Canada. Meares Island became historically significant shortly after 1984, when the Nuu-chah-nulth began protesting forestry giant MacMillan Bloedel's potential harvesting activities.
Our kayaking guide was Sam Bovenlander - a very pleasant and knowledgable young man from down under. Thank you Sam for a great afternoon kayaking around Meares Island.

One of the most beautiful hikes - Lone Cone Trail On Vancouver Island.
Hiking the Lone Cone Trail on Meares Island which is located off Tofino on Vancouver Island. One needs to take a water taxi from Tofino to reach the mountain island. The trail starts flat but gets pretty steep with a sudden 700 meter elevation in a couple of kms. The total kms is 7. But the view from the top at worth it & so is flora of large & aged red wood trees.
