Halibut Cabin / 3 Bedroom Floating Cabin

Strawberry Island is located East of 'downtown' Tofino. It's a quick 30 second power boat ride from the Tofino Marina. It's also easily accessible by paddle board, kayak or row boat. Back in the day this island was called "Leach Island", but was later changed to Strawberry Island because locals loved to pick wild strawberries here. We also like to add that the island is shaped like a strawberry :)
