After an easy 10-minute hike with inflatable paddleboards on our backs, we reached a relatively sheltered horseshoe-shaped bay with a beach made up of sand and polished pebbles. We could see breakers crashing against the shore of the island that partly protects this bay, but our launching point was perfectly calm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We unrolled the SUPs, inflated them, and then enjoyed an hour and a half of paddling through kelp-covered recesses and over submerged rock beds carpeted in mollusks. Occasionally we\u2019d duck out from behind the protection of the island and ride the swells in more open water but most of the time we simply coasted and observed. A great thing about paddleboarding is you\u2019re higher up on the board and can see deeper into the water further. I watched large rock crabs scuttle away from my shadow and small fish dart among the kelp fronds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","path_photo":[{"ID":59720,"id":59720,"title":"Terrace Beach Ucluelet - Paddle BC RTJ -

I declined the invitation to join him and instead deflated and packed the SUPs. On the hike out he told me the trail system we were on was linked to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildpacifictrail.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wild Pacific Trail<\/a> loop that leads to the famed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildpacifictrail.com\/lighthouse.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amphitrite Point Lighthouse<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than follow Ollie back into town, I chose to hike the trail, which is 2.6 kilometres long and follows the coastline at the very tip of the Ucluelet peninsula.

That gives you an idea of the power of the storms in these parts. The current concrete lighthouse was opened in 1915 and its peculiar shape was chosen to help it withstand gale-force winds and tidal waves. The rest of the hike offered views of colourful buttercups and lupins, red-barked arbutus trees, tangled green cedar boughs and white gulls pecking at the sand.

stunning doesn\u2019t do enough justice because the towering ceiling timbers, bars and floors made of reclaimed wood, and the expansive deck overlooking the harbour are simply appearance: the real beauty is the fact \u201cthe building had to be re-engineered to modern-day earthquake standards,\u201d Dennis said. The result is a structure that\u2019s not only super solid but so inviting you want to hang out in its sun-lit glory all day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it was, I could only spend a few hours at the brewery but in that time I got to hear many stories, including how one of the counters was made from a wooden lane salvaged from the former bowling alley. I also got to meet head brewer Allen Cukier and sample a few of his other creations including the Harbour View Pale Ale, a bright brew with hints of citrus and melon; the crisp and refreshing Seventh Day Kolsch; and Resurrection Red, an Irish red ale that was a perfect way to end the visit given its dessert-like flavours of caramel and chocolate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one thing I missed at the brewery was the food on account of the fact it was technically closed for the day. Apparently, the menu is excellent and extensive, ranging from brisket bowls to Reuben sliders \u2013 an amazing feat given the kitchen space is exceptionally small. On Allen\u2019s recommendation, I instead had dinner at the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papiscantina.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Papi\u2019s Cantina<\/a>, less than a block away. I enjoyed an order of elote, which is a cob of grilled corn smothered in a creamy sauce and topped with chili powder, cheese and lime, and washed it down with Ucluelet Brewing\u2019s South Swell IPA. Of all the offerings I\u2019d enjoyed that day, this West Coast IPA was my favourite because the taste was a harmonious blend of citrus and pine<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:

Winchee loosely translates to \u201cmany species of salmon,\u201d he said, and this area has been important to the local Tla-o-qui-aht people for thousands of years. They fish its waters, harvest cedar bark for craftwork and carve canoes from fallen trees. He also told of how men would train in the cold river for their ceremonial whale hunts, sometimes submerging themselves underwater for over four minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This last point struck me. \u201cWait. People hunted whales from canoes?\u201d I asked in amazement.

Having rock climbed and ziplined around the world, I found the experience of whizzing down a 60-metre-long steel cable fun but relatively mild. What really astonished me were the surroundings. After the first few ziplines, we hiked through a mature forest of huge, lichen-covered cedars with evidence of cultural modifications on them that were centuries old. Our guide explained the Tla-o-qui-aht people remove long strips of bark from the trees for use in basket weaving and hat making but they do so in a way that doesn\u2019t harm the tree. Veiled lines of white scarring were all we could detect from the practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then we followed the moss-covered trail to the edge of a spectacular narrow slot canyon: steep, 90-metre-high grey walls rose from sun-dappled water the colour of oxidized copper. During some years we were told the canyon filled almost to the top with Spring runoff. The last zipline was the longest and took us out over the river and back to the company headquarters near a covered bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second adventure of the day had Kelly, myself, and two young visitors paddle up the canyon I had just zipped down. I chose a paddleboard while the others elected for kayaks and we put in at the same beach Kelly and I had visited upon arrival. It proved to be a short journey as a waterfall blocked our way after about a kilometre but it still took us a long time because we kept stopping to admire the translucent water, the perfectly smooth scoured rock walls, and the almost painfully bright blue sky. The entire experience had an other-worldly feel, like floating through a fantastic realm where fairies and other magical creatures live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","path_photo":[{"ID":59741,"id":59741,"title":"Winchee River -
