Fly to Tofino!

Most people drive to Tofino - if you have the money and opportunity, try a flight! The cost is around $130 one way, so it's not cheap, but the flight is gorgeous, and interesting. The plane only seats 6-8 people, so it's strange, and your time there from Vancouver is about 45 minutes, instead of a gruelling 5-6 hours! Yay!

I believe the airline used is Regency, and it flies out from the south terminal of the Vancouver International Airport.

Hitch Hiking

Unlike most places, hitch hiking in Tofino is very commonplace. It's safe to hitch, or to pick up hitchers in this area. I'd be wary of the drunk looking natives, though, but I'm sure they're harmless enough.

I've done long-distance hitching from the ferry to Tofino and back (granted, it's easier hitching to the ferry, than to Tofino) a few times with no problem.

Hitching to town from Ucluelet, or if you're staying out of the town itself, is pretty easy. Same deal if you just want to get to an out-of-the-way spot, like Long Beach or Florencia Bay. Go for it - you meet some cool characters, too.
