A comparison is made with the inlets of southeast Alaska, the mainland coast of British Columbia and Vancouver Island. It is shown that the general level of intensif yy of secondary undulations is highest for Vancouver Island inlets, and least for those of Chile and Alaska.

  • How to Get to the Wild West Coast... Tofino B.C
    HOW TO GET TO THE WILD WEST COAST... TOFINO B.C. Tofino is found on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island. Stand on the beach in Tofino and the next land you would reach, going west, would be Japan. The drive between Victoria and Tofino was recently ranked as one of the top three drives in Canada in the 2004 edition of the Michelin North American Road Atlas. Found at the very end of the Trans-Canada Highway, Tofino and Long Beach Lodge Resort are located 321 kilometres from Victoria, 208 kilometres from Nanaimo, (Vancouver Island’s second largest city), and 130 kilometres west of Port Alberni and 42 kilometres north of Ucluelet on Highway 4 (also called the Pacific Rim Highway). Vancouver Island and Tofino are easily accessible by sea, air and land. Driving times are approximate, especially if you stop to view the stunning scenery along the way: Victoria to Tofino = 4.5 hrs Nanaimo to Tofino = 2.5 hrs Port Alberni to Tofino = 1.5 hrs BY SEA BC Ferries Year-round, daily vehicle and passenger ferry service from Mainland BC to Vancouver Island Vancouver (Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay) to Victoria (Swartz Bay) or Nanaimo (Departure Bay and Duke Point) In person at their new Vacations Centre located at 1010 Canada Place, Vancouver BC or call 1-888-223-3779 Tel: (250) 386-3431 www.bcferries.bc.ca Victoria Clipper Year-round, daily passenger ferry service between Seattle and Victoria Tel: (206) 448-5000 www.victoriaclipper.com Black Ball Transport Year-round, daily vehicle and passenger ferry service between Victoria and Port Angeles, WA on
