style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a short day at work that went longer than anticipated, I hastily used my childhood Tetris skills to pack the car and we hit the road on our Alberni Valley adventure. We had a 4:00 pm ferry to catch out of Horseshoe Bay towards Nanaimo and we were already running behind schedule. Here\u2019s a tip from a seasoned ferry riding veteran: always get a reservation. It\u2019s only $20 and when you\u2019re sitting in hours-long lines with the sun blazing overhead and kids complaining in the back seat, you\u2019d be willing to give up a limb to board that next boat.

Here\u2019s another ferry tip: if you do eat on the boat, order the Pirate Pack. Yes, it\u2019s a kid\u2019s menu option but it\u2019s almost the same amount of food for a fraction of the price.

at Sproat Lake is the &#8220;Hawaii Mars,&#8221; a Martin Mars Water Bomber stationed in the water. As a kid, I vividly remember hearing about these massive water bombers fighting fires across the country and even as far south as California. One made a memorable appearance dropping water over Coal Harbour during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. The mighty &#8220;Hawaii Mars&#8221; is no longer fighting fires and is soon to be relocated to its new permanent home at the British Columbia Aviation Museum in Victoria, where it will be featured in their &#8220;BC Wildfire Aviation&#8221; exhibit.

It houses a treasure trove of fascinating artifacts, offering a glimpse into the history of the Alberni Valley. From exhibits showcasing the First Nations peoples who inhabited the region to local sports memorabilia, heritage farming equipment, and a special art exhibition featuring work from Vancouver Island artists, there was much more than I expected from a small community museum. They even had interactive displays and games to keep the kids engaged. Considering the suggested entry donation of only $5, this museum easily ranks as one of the best bang-for-your-buck activities.

behind, Warwick pointed out geographical landmarks and shared stories about his journey into gliding. We chatted about how much more he prefers gliding over flying a motorized aircraft, emphasizing the added thrill and challenge of seeking out thermals in ever-changing conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then came the unexpected, Warwick offered me the controls! A whirlwind of questions raced through my mind. Do I need a license? Flight simulator hours? I thought I couldn\u2019t legally fly an aircraft because of my colour blindness? But then reality kicked in. When would I ever get another chance like this? With clear and calm instructions from Warwick, I found myself navigating the glider through the sky. While I didn&#8217;t exactly perform any loops or barrel rolls, I did receive compliments on my smooth gliding and turns, earning me the self-proclaimed title of &#8220;Captain Thirsty.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entire gliding experience was truly amazing and one I\u2019ll never forget. The Vancouver Island Soaring Centre team struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, creating an amazing atmosphere for a first time glider. Soaring silently through the sky, taking in the breathtaking Vancouver Island scenery, was an incredibly serene experience. I wholeheartedly recommend gliding as a must-try adventure for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable

It was around this time that we came to the realization that everything in Port Alberni is either 5 minutes away or 20 minutes away. There\u2019s no in-between. Our short hike took us up through the forest and past the fish ladder, which helps salmon get up the falls during spawning season. Following the river\u2019s edge we eventually passed the waterfall and hiked up to a lookout over the falls. It was a beautiful view but by this point we were hot and sweaty and needed to cool down. We trekked back down the trail and found a perfectly calm spot in the river to go for a dip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything was going smoothly until we heard the blood-curdling screams of our daughter.

After proclaiming \u201cI am NOT going back in there,\u201d we eventually did get her to come back out to swim. We just had to check to make sure there were no river crabs anywhere nearby.

Established in 2021 by local chef Yvan St. Onge and Heather and Jason Welsh, Alberni Brewing has a spacious interior featuring a cozy fireplace and a welcoming outdoor patio. It&#8217;s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a pint. It\u2019s also a great place to grab some grub.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like the mini yorkies I described above, if I see deep fried pickles on a menu, I\u2019m most likely getting a serving of them. This visit to Alberni Brewing was no exception. We started with an order of \u201cFrickles\u201d and a flight of beer. In our flight we tried the Alter Dunkel, Cold Creek IPA, Blanc Hazy IPA and the Corax stout. The Dunkel was probably my fave but the Hazy IPA was a close second.

Both dishes were delicious and what impressed us even further was the kid-friendly menu. Unlike many restaurants with limited options, Alberni Brewing offers a variety of dishes for kids, including several dessert choices. This is a huge win for parents with picky eaters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other thing I appreciated was that they were playing the Canada vs. Uruguay COPA America game on their TV.

the entire trip. The stunning interior was full of lush greenery, vibrant colours and plenty of natural light creating a beautiful atmosphere. The covered patio looped around a giant open garden full of plants and flowers. It was a spectacular spot to spend an afternoon for lunch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because we ate breakfast late we decided to indulge in some of Wildflower\u2019s baked goods for lunch. We tried a bit of everything and ordered the Summer-Berry Cream Cheese Cruffin, a Cinnamon Bun, a Raspberry-Blueberry Scone sprinkled with powdered sugar, and the Triple Chocolate Brioche. All four of us shared and it was almost impossible to pick a favourite, but I will say the cruffin and the brioche were standouts for me. I could tell that the kids loved the brioche by the way they hovered over me to try and scoop up the chocolate filling. Vultures!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we were finishing up we saw some of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cafewildflower.ca\/menu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lunch options<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> coming out of the Wildflower kitchen.
