There are numerous hiking trails around the Tofino and Ucluelet areas. Pacific Rim National Park is a great option. You can arrange for a guide (highly recommended) through The Wickininnish.
You'll need to pay attention to the tides and currents, but ocean kayaking is a fun activity that will allow you to get different perspectives on the beautiful scenery. You can arrange rentals through Jamie's Whaling Station
There are numerous spas in the area including a great one at The Wickininnish. We recommend booking appointments early (at check-in or earlier) to ensure you can get in.
Tofino is probably the top surfing location in Canada. While the water will be cold, the waves at this time of year are not as fierce as during the winter when the storms come through. Heidi and I went surfing in February and weren't cold at all since we were constantly moving. There are numerous surf schools so this is a great opportunity to try this out if you haven't before.
May is a great time of year to see whales. We will try to organize a whale watching trip on Friday night, but space will be limited. Stay tuned!
