This small town in B.C. has a super unique glamping retreat that floats right on the Pacific Ocean and it's the coolest thing you'll see all day.

The Airbnb stay in Tofino, B.C., is called Lagoon Float Camp and once you see the photos, you'll be wanting to book a trip to this secluded spot ASAP.

To get to this place from Vancouver, you can take a two-hour BC Ferries ride from West Vancouver to Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island, and drive another three hours to get to the town of Tofino.
