Tsunami Backpackers Guesthouse Reviews
Description
Location and Contact
Location
• Tsunami Backpackers is located at 5779 River Rd (aka Highway 4)- the direct route to Tofino/Ucluelet
• Coming from Vancouver-Victoria, you'll come to a 'T' intersection at the Somass River...this is River Rd./Hwy 4...turn right,
• then follow River Rd for about 1km..you'll come to NAESGAARDS MARKET FARM at River Rd & Mary...Tsunami is 5 houses further, right next door to HUMMINGBIRD GUESTHOUSE...Tsunami has only a small sign on a hand-carved piece of driftwood on a dead chestnut tree out front...easy to miss if you're driving, especially after dark
• NOTE:the bus station is located less than 100 metres from 'T' intersection at the Somass River...just walk thru the car park of the pub across the street...about 15min walk to Tsunami...or a cab should be under $10
