Luke is a fourth generation distiller and has refined old family recipes for the modern palate. All spirits are fermented with our own wild yeast culture originating in Barkley Sound. We are a true hand crafted distillery using no automation with our 100% BC sourced ingredients. Come in and try a free sample of our exceptionally smooth spirits. If the sign is on the highway we are open.

Owner/operater is an easy-going conversationalist -- third generation, and a super nice person-- who is passionate about the products he currently offers ... Humpback Vodka, Lighthouse Gin and the most aeromatic, soothing Hand Sanitizer I've had the pleasure to use. And, it won't be drying out your hands! Ingredients are all locally cultivated. * Learned a few things with what goes on 'behind the scenes' at a distillary producing top-quality products.

This was my second visit to the town of Ucluelet, but I couldn’t fit in the aquarium then, so it was on my list for this visit. We arrived right at opening, as did numerous families right behind us. We three adults in their mid-sixties were as excited as the little ones to experience this small marine treasure! All the tanks are fed directly by piped-in ocean water. Marine plants, fish, and creatures are collected for the season only and retuned to the ocean by divers at seasons’s end. Young marine biologists and ecosystem workterm students staff the facilities and conduct research throughout the summer. A variety of fish live in a large pool in the centre. Around that are separate tanks that hold a variety of species and biodiversity - anemones, starfish, sea cucumbers, urchins, an octopus, jellyfish, and many kinds of fish. Most exciting for everyone, however, was the opportunity to explore a number of tanks where you could reach in and touch some of the species, after washing your hands of residue. That was a unique experience! This is not a tourist trap for families, but rather an educational experience for all. When you’re in Ucluelet, thus is a must-do activity!

This gallery is so cool, and I can't recommend it enough. They have a great collection of wood carvings, paintings, prints, photos and other First Nations art. We learned the story of the origin of the gallery. The owner saw the First Nations' artists getting ripped off by other galleries who charged large commissions. So, he decided to create a First Nations supportive gallery and took out a loan to create his own gallery. The artists set their own rules here. Additionally, the owner will sit there doing his own carvings. Support this great local, independent business with great morals and pick up some cool art!
