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.

As the location is on the water, you will have to take a boat ride from the town of Tofino, B.C., to get to it.

No worries though, a round-trip boat ride is included with the price of the stay.

If you're looking to add a little more fun to the experience, you can also rent some stand-up paddle boards for an additional charge.

Just imagine taking in these surreal sunset views.

This whole stay looks super relaxing and is the perfect way to unwind before the colder months roll around.

Not to mention, the stargazing at night would be just absolutely incredible while being far away from all the city lights.
