Default Drive from Nanaimo to Tofino

How long is the drive roughly? 3 hours? It's been a while since I've been there and I remember the last stretch into Tofino is very twisty.

I'm planning for a drive there on the weekend of 28 and 29th if anyone wants to join!

I just made the trip in the Subaru loaded with 4 people and baggage this week. Even with some motorhome traffic and construction sites we still made it in somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hours. The road's in quite good shape and there are some pretty tight turns on the Tofino end of the highway.

In my truck and camper, it takes about 3 hours from Parksville to Tofino.......... about 2 1/2 to the Info Center, and then about half an hour from there to Tofino, or 15 min to Uclulet.

The road is in great shape compared to early last year.
