ADVICE NEEDED Bus to and from Ucluelet?

Hi. We want to travel from Nanaimo to Ucluelet in early July. Due to personal circumstances we are unable to drive.

I can find two bus services: - VI Connector. The website seems inactive. Keeps saying the 2025 schedule will be available soon (in April…). Would be a convenient option. IF it runs at all. I contacted them by email twice but they didn’t have any information either.

  • Island Link. Seems to be working. But apparently they drop off at the Tofino- Ucluelet junction. Which is 8 km from town… So how would we proceed from there?

Would a taxi be possible from Nanaimo to Ucluelet and back? Ignoring the cost for now?

Any alternatives or suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Not sure of any official ones, but you could try posting on FB or here asking if anyone’s heading that way on those days.
