I started planning a trip to Vancouver Island over the weekend. Looking at mid-August, probably 7-10 days. We've been to Seattle and Vancouver already but the plan is to end the trip with a day or two in Vancouver. Love the city.
We'll probably start in Seattle since American Airlines flies there direct. What's the best way to get to Victoria? Doesn't have to be quickest. Maybe see a little of Olympic National Park and take a ferry from Port Angeles?
How is Victoria at night? I found a really nice hotel in Brentwood Bay but that's about a half hour ride from Victoria. If Victoria is a fun night out, I'd probably stay in the city but if dies out at night, I'll take the drive.
After that is where I'm not sure what to do. I'm thinking of doing like 3 days in the Tofino area and then heading NE to Sonora Island for what looks like an amazing experience at this hotel for another 2-3 days before heading back to Vancouver.
Is that just too much to cram in? I'd like to try some salmon fishing and maybe do some nature tours, especially to see some grizzlies. We do have a tough time sitting still when there are things to do but I would like to soak in what looks like some amazing scenery.
Anything else I should consider while there?
