Nanaiamo port to cathedral grove

Any ideas how to do this? Haven't been able to find a tour operator with availability ? My husband loves huge trees so this would be a bucket list experience for him. In port from 7-5 (at least plan to be - you all know how that goes lol) Thx everyone :)

I don't have any easy answer for you other than renting a car for the day.

If you do decide to rent a car you could extend your tour by driving a short distance further and go down to Port Alberni - a logging and mill town with lots of history etc.

On the way to Cathedral Grove you will pass the entrance to Little Qualicum Falls Park - one of two waterfalls in the area - the other is Englishmen River but it is more off the beaten path.

On your return from the Grove - stop in the seaside town of Parksville and visit Rathtrevor Park - one of the best on the east side of the Island. http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/rathtrevor/

If you don't want to rent a car the only other two options that I can think of are:

1. Contact a taxi firm and see if they will quote you a price for a private tour.

2. I know there is a bus service from Nanaimo to Port Alberni and Tofino - whether it is possible for them to drop you off at the Grove and pick you up later I don't know.

Here's a link to there web site - don't see any specific stop for the Grove but contact them.

Hope this helps some.
