Nootka Sound is northwest of Victoria on the west side of Vancouver Island. It is approximately 45 miles (70 km) north of Tofino. From Gold River to Tahsis you can travel to points in Nootka Sound and neighbouring Kyuquot Sound to the north on the MV Uchuck III, a converted minesweeper that carries passengers, freight and kayakers into the sound.
