Cathedral Grove
Park
👍👍 Excellent stop to see some of Canada’s oldest trees over 500 years old! We did stop in early September and it had reopened (previously closed due to forest fire concerns).
The old tall (& tallest) trees are on the south side with no washrooms. Trails are short and maybe only 5-10 minutes to loop aro...

Little Mountain Lookout
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Nice trail, dangerous cliffs (so be very aware when with kids) very nice view. No barriers on the lookout and about 60ft drop... WATCHOUT for oncoming vehicles as it has a very narrow lane going up to the peak.

Thai Smile Cuisine
Thai restaurant
👍👍 I love small town Asian restaurants - some are hit and some are miss, and they always have heart. This restaurant is a HIT. Hidden gem that no one knows of. Literally the best kept secret on the Island.
The owner visited Canada from Thailand and fell in love with Vancouver Island. He brought the fa...

Butterfly World, Coombs
Tourist attraction
👍👍 AMAZING! Well worth the stop. The plants, butterflies and birds were beautiful! We also saw tortoises, turtles and frogs. I took 100 pictures and a few laps around, so peaceful. We were lucky enough to see a butterfly emerge.

KD's Cafe
Restaurant
🫤 I was pumped up to try this place with all the good reviews I first read, but was disappointed due to the abrupt and unfriendly hostess and the greasy omelette that tasted like the previously made elk or bison meat. Also disappointed at the need to serve your own coffee from a large coffee urn! The...

👍👍 Lovely little spot to stop for a cold swim when travelling to Tofino. Not much parking on the Tofino bound side but easier access. When travelling Eastbound be careful to signal, slow down and pull out onto the Southside, park there then cross over on foot to the site. Please don’t ever slow down an...

An amazing pool & hot tub (although it would be nice if it opened a little earlier for the kiddos) They have a lovely man made l...
