Ferrying to VANCOUVER ISLAND! (+ road trip to Tofino)

One of the places we have been dying to revisit for years is Vancouver Island! We drove Brisket (our van) onto his first ferry EVER and made the 1 hour, 40 minute cruise to Nanaimo on the island’s east side and then road tripped across the island to Tofino, making some beautiful stops along the way!

All that driving and y'all missed out on the largest Seaplane in the world.

[@piousfem]

On your way out, stop in Coombs, at the Old Country Market, also know as "Goats on the Roof". Be sure to get your bumper sticker!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We read they weren’t on the roof yet for some reason when we were there. We saw tons of the bumper stickers all over though!

[@ericpassiniemi3194]

Your enthusiasm for seeing and experiencing new places is contagious!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

[@fardinrahmanshamil9267]

Beautiful pacific northwest!!!

[@davepalmerton2429]

I must say I'm "hooked" on the channel. Seeing your notifications, I know I'm off on another adventure with you guys. Vancouver Island certainly didn't disappoint. Stay safe and enjoy.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wahoo! Thanks for watching!

[@andygeraci6057]

The Pros and Cons of why we watch your channel. I really appreciate all the time and energy that it takes to do the researching and the editing. I'm not a foodie but all of the descriptions you do of the food always makes me hungry. The filming of the scenery always makes me want to get on the road. You even made a 10 minute construction stop interesting. I like watching your silly goofy dancing and fighting the wind moves. Some outtakes might be fun. Now for the cons…….. Well can't think of any. Keep doing what you're doing we really enjoy it. Happy trails.

[@doriethatgirl1709]

Can I just say “ Ditto!” to your comment except the part about not being a foodie. I am such a fan of them & this vlog!💝

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much! We love filming and sharing a mix of activities and experiences. Anything after the ending screen is what we call our outtakes or bloopers. We share everything we have in that regard if it’s appropriate. Thank you so much and thanks for watching!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! We love sharing and learning about food! ☺️

[@mountainmanwannabe9495]

Another ditto here. Fantastic scenery!

[@martincorriveau]

Enjoy your time in Canada

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We’re loving it! Thank you

[@karenavery1004]

Love your video. Thx👍

[@MajorAddiction]

Beautiful place. Only visited Victoria there but would love to be back.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

There’s so much to see!

[@makiliv]

The opening with Kona was so cute! And as soon as I saw the ferry, I thought "I hope they get Nanaimo bars," and you did! Happy Vancouver Island exploring!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh you HAVE to get Nanaimo bars! We had a fantastic time on the island! Kona loved it too!

[@lunaandstella825]

I was in Nanaimo this summer and did the exact tour. So lovely to see it all again

[@christinawong7093]

I’ve never seen a travel video dedicated to Vancouver island. Good job highlighting some quick hikes.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

4 more to come! Thanks!

[@bobculhane4746]

A cool ferry ⛴️ ride to the island 2 beautiful waterfalls and a Bear 🐻 life doesn't get better then that!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

You got that right!

[@robinlewis8654]

Yeah, I got to see a dancing finale. “I’m on a boat.” Got me laughing out load Kathryn. You guys are so blessed to be living that life.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Lots of dancing to come! We love that silly song! We probably sing it to ourselves or whoever we're with on every boat we get on!

[@ReclinerBabe]

Hi, new friends...from a new subbie. You have captured the very essence of Vancover Island. Although I live just over the water in Washington State and can visit Cypress and Fir trees outside my own door....there is yet another magic in Vancouver Island....especially where you followed literally in our footsteps. My handsome Prince and I have made many trips there.... I'm glad we didnt know our last trip to Tofino was to REALLY be our LAST trip due to age, health and inability to travel.... Thanks for sharing with us. I'm looking forward to your whole trip. *Recliner Babe*

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We’re glad we could share! Thank you and thanks for watching! ❤️💙

[@donnadeskin658]

My Joanns and I honey mooned on the island in 2002. We had so much fun. Stayed a week at Long Beach in an awesome condo on the water by a lighthouse. Lots of wonderful memories. Thank you. My husband passed two years ago. I really want to go back.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're sorry to hear of your loss! We're glad we could bring back happy memories and we hope you can go back! Thanks for watching, Donna!

[@SchnuffiJames]

From a Canadian, thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheMalamutePack]

So beautiful all those waterfalls

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

❤️💙

[@annette3488]

Been to Vancouver but never to Vancouver Island. Definitely on my bucket list to see! The waterfalls were beautiful!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

There were so many waterfalls and parks to see! The island is whole other world from Vancouver! If get back in the area it is a must visit!

[@spat5502]

Thank you for doing such a beautiful job of showing our beautiful Island home!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@bradjohnson9672]

More green more water. Unique and especially beautiful.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Beautiful!

[@ExpatNatt]

Wow. Stunning. Another fab video, thanks for sharing, I can’t even imagine the height of some of those trees!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much! Yes they were super duper tall! 🌲🌲

[@heatherbella]

Great video! I am from Nanaimo and it's neat to see our island through your eyes! Have a wonderful time in Tofino!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We had a great time on the Island! Thanks for watching!

[@jamiewalters4]

Cool. Looking forward to your adventures around Vancouver Island! Not very familiar with it so ready for your insights!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hopefully we captured it well! Thanks, Jamie!

[@dougb100]

We live in Nanaimo & this is one of the best Island videos I have seen.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! That means a lot coming from a local!

[@glgonz]

My favorite part was the bacon, just kidding!! You both did a great job sharing the beauty of Vancouver Island. Never been and now I want to go there.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Bacon is always a highlight! 😂 We hope our videos capture the beauty and help your future travels!

[@rayeroze6574]

I won’t be able to listen to music now without thinking about Kathryn’s amazing Ad-Libs. Still waiting for her to drop that album 🔥🔥🔥

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahaha she’s good at them! We’re still working on cutting some tracks!

[@jennyfulcher8035]

So cool that you're touring Vancouver Island! I visited it several times in the 1980s and 1990s. A friend and I camped for free at a beachfront property that was for sale in Tofino. When the tide was out we saw a weathered totem pole half buried in the sand as well as a VW bug? buried upside down with its wheels exposed. We saw a sunflower starfish washed up on shore. We shared our campsite with a snake too. I also solo camped years later at Little Qualicum Falls campground and walked the same loop path you did. My boyfriend and I stayed at Hollyhock Resort on Cortes Island too and a chipmunk bounced on our tent's rainfly! It was fun to watch your latest episode as you toured Vancouver Island. The Sonoma Bacon Chips looked tasty. I just ate some Avocado chips as I watched your blog. Happy trails! Jenny Seattle, WA 🙂

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Sounds like a crazy fun trip! Our trip there wasn’t that wild, but we still had a blast! We have some avocado chips in our hanger box as well! Thanks for watching!

[@jennyfulcher8035]

@@AdventuresofAplusK I saw the avocado chips which prompted me to eat mine! Jenny

[@patw3611]

I spent a lot of time exploring Vancouver Island while I was living in Parksville back in 2004. Your trip to Tofino brought back a lot of good memories of that time. Thank you.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We’re glad we could take you back!

[@eekdageek]

Wow!!! Vancouver Island is gorgeous!! All those powerful waterfalls!! And those Nanaimo Bars!! Btw, I loved Kona’s blep in the video! And Kathryn, please rap for us in a future video!!!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The island is super gorgeous! We had to look up what a blep is so thank you for opening our eyes to a new word! We’ll see where we can fit in a few rap lines soon! 🤪

[@44Paws]

Born and raised on Northern Vancouver Island. 🤗 If you ever get a chance, check out Malcom island, you ferry over from Port McNeil (20min ride) Go to - Bere Point Campsites- The whales (orcas) Actually Rub on these Beaches. It's a sight to see, if you can get there the right time of year! 🤍 🐾

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We would love to come back and go more north than Campbell River. We loved everywhere we went on the island and up north seemed like a lot of fun. And we'll be adding Malcolm Island and Bere Point Campsites to our list! That sounds incredible! Thanks!

[@aolkeriil]

Wow it is so beautiful there. I can see Kona really enjoying the place too. Stay safe and see you soon ✌

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh yes Kona loved it! Thank you!

[@sheafan1971]

Looks so Beautiful there, I enjoyed the video.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks!

[@chrisgoldsby4103]

Vancouver Island is so beautiful!! We visited there on honeymoon--the western most destination on honeymoon--a trip by train across Canada by train from Toronto. Thanks for the return trip after many years!! Another wonderful video!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh we would love to do a train trip across Canada! Thanks for watching!

[@leapheap6837]

Glad you had fun on the road trip. Those chocolate bars look delicious at the cafe. 😋 Yum!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Nanaimo bars are 🤌

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]

Loved all the gorgeous scenery. It felt like the video was set in a National Park

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It felt like that to us too!

[@sarahn.4775]

What a gorgeous island!! Your excitement is contagious.😄 Great video!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It’s one of our favorite places!

Always interesting to see our home from the perspective of other people visiting. We never take it for granted how fortunate we are to be born and raised here. Great video guys!

[@tristenstravels182]

Loved the video can’t wait to go to Vancouver island in July!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

You’re going to love it! Hopefully our videos can help your travels!

[@AzulFyre]

So many parks! It's like to take 10 steps and "oh, there's another one." Not that I'm complaining, they're all gorgeous. I definitely want to check out the island when I make it back to BC.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That’s what we thought too! So many parks and beautiful things!

[@annarmartin2713]

I was so excited to see this video because I have a relative living on Gabriola Island one half hour by ferry from Nanimo. These are places they often refer to and talk about.

[@robertcalanis9649]

Man really appreciate you're content 🙏 always wanted to visit Canada 🇨🇦 definitely need to get my passport.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much, Robert! Canada is an amazing place and yes you gotta get that passport and get up to Canada!

[@davidnilles3117]

How beautiful is that place? My gosh! Even with all the waterfalls, I think my favorite shot was on the shore of Cameron Lake. Y’all just make me want to retire 19 months early and hit the road! Great video. Have fun! 👍

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The lakes were just as beautiful as the waterfalls!

[@doublej42]

Thank you for visiting Nanaimo. So nice to see a shout out for my home town.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We had a great time and can’t wait to come back! Thanks for watching!

[@debrabalawajder2617]

This was great! I knew nothing about Vancouver Island so I really enjoyed this video and I am looking forward to the future ones! My sister-in-law’s niece (from husband’s side) lives on Vancouver Island so now I get to see where she lives and why she and her family moved there! Well, another place to add to my list!! :). :). :)

Thanks, Lynn!

[@hannahslist15]

Wow! Vancouver Island is beautiful!! I had no idea! When you said you paid $250 to ferry over, I was shocked. That's a lot. However, once I saw all the waterfalls and cute towns.... worth it! I want to plan a trip there now😅

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Ya it was a chunk of change, but it was super worth it!

[@aliseoliver3537]

When you stopped to have lunch, I laughed to myself because it looked like one of the locations for the early seasons of Alone!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

😂 we need to watch that show

[@thetravelingstewarts]

So exciting you got to see a bear! The scenery is so beautiful on that island! Funky looking lighthouse, too!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We saw multiple! So cool! And ya that was a funky lighthouse!

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

Late to the party as I've been island adventuring too, but my goodness, this video has cemented my need to return to this gorgeous area of the world. When I visited Vancouver Island all those years ago, our budget was super tight so car rental was out of the question and we only visited Victoria and Tofino as these were well served by public transport. We took the clipper over to Victoria from Seattle like you did on your last visit - I remember being so torn about the cost, but it was going to give a whole extra day if we didn't faff with the greyhound to Vancouver and then ferry across. To get back, we took a bus from Tofino to Vancouver that included the ferry cost so skipped absolutely everything you showed me in this video, and the FOMO is very real right now (if you change fear to feeling 🤣)! You guys did well to capture the bear, even if it was just a small snippet - your reactions were just as good as I know I'd be reacting in exactly the same way!! I shockingly never ate a Nanimo bar the whole year I lived in Canada, so that alone is a reason to return as they look amazing! I think the highlights of this were the Englishman River Falls and the little Qualicum Falls, but the lighthouse loop was gorgeous too! I'm so pleased you're back in areas I've been to as I love trips down memory lane thanks to you guys! ❤

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh ya you’ve gotta get back to Vancouver Island when you can! It deserves a proper exploration! And yes the Nanaimo bar alone is worth the visit! The waterfalls were 😍😍

[@OP-mz3hr]

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Love it!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

There is so much to see and do! Thank you!

[@loeyminske3459]

Just realized that we have never been to anywhere else on the island besides Victoria and the gardens! What a beautiful place! That's now on my bucket list!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We loved every minute on Vancouver Island! We’re excited to get on to Alaska! 🚐

[@sharongreen2163]

I live on Van island….in Parksville, just north of Nanaimo. Thanks for reminding me how I take it all for granted. I think it’s just about the best place on earth to live. I’m twenty minutes from Englishman river falls, and five minutes from Parksville beach. It rains a lot, but that’s ok. Everything is lush and green here.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We love the island! We can’t wait to come back! Thanks for watching, Sharon!

[@mcnater]

ahh! The joy is palpable. I love ferry rides as much as you all. We did Madeline Island in Wisconsin last year and took our car across, with our dog as well! So fun. What a gorgeous area...Already my head is spinning about a visit there. Looking forward to more!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The ferry rides are so fun and beautiful! Not only do you get a fun ride, but incredible views! Madeline Island looks nice!

I continue to look forward to each and every video on your adventure to Alaska. They are always fresh, positive and fun and so well produced. I love seeing Kona in your videos. Kona has to be just about the most traveled dog I have ever heard of. Not sure how many miles and states Kona has traveled too, but I am sure an amazing number and now a second country Canada!! Looking forward to all your videos to come.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That means a lot to us. Thank you! Kona has been to 30+ states and 2 countries! She’s a travel dog for sure!

A big hello from Nanaimo! Glad you had a chance to see some of the beauty our little island has to offer. Bocca’s Nanaimo Bars are so good! I work one street from them so their goodies are far too accessible if you know what I’m mean 😆 My husband is a deckhand on the departure bay route of the ferries and I think I saw him in your clips! How fun! Enjoys your stay and I hope that you have an amazing time 😊

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're doing all the hard work of eating Nanaimo bars, hiking, and hopefully capturing the beauty for the folks at home! We're happy to share and extremely thankful and grateful for what we get to do! Us three are having a blast! Thanks for watching as always!

I love seeing everyone coming to the island and think tofino is the nicest place on the island but if you really wanna see open roads and beautiful beaches you need to head up island towards woss there is some amazing back country and wild life all over the place

Ya for sure. This was only our second visit to the island and we wanted to check out the major destinations. On our next visit we’ll get more into the backcountry. We’d love to check out Malcolm Island and some of the other inland towns like you mentioned. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
