ABOUT TOFINO
Formerly an isolated fishing and logging village, Tofino has become a
worldwide scenic tourist destination on the waters of Clayoquot
Sound.
It boosts renowned restaurants, galleries and miles of secluded sandy
beaches.
Our temperate climate allows year round vacation adventures. Whale
watching, bear watching, fishing, kayaking, diving, Hot Springs,
Meares’ Island, and float-plane chartered tours are available Spring
to Fall, and popular “storm watching” during our typically warm and
wet Winters.
Just to the South, Pacific Rim National Park offers thirteen miles of
Long Beach, forest walks, nature tours and programs in the
Wicaninnish Interpretive Center. The area also offers surfing, beach
combing,
bird watching, wilderness hiking, snorkeling, cycling, tennis, a new
skate-boarding park, and a golf course.
WHALE WATCHING
Over 20,000 gray whales migrate past our shores March until May.
Small groups linger, feeding in our
inlets until October. Chartered tours make close contact with these
groups Spring through Fall.
The Pacific Rim Whale Festival begins the season during the last 2
weeks of March. Tours can be booked
in town the day before.
HOT SPRINGS
About one hour northwest by boat, Hot Springs Cove is a completely
natural hot springs bubbling from
rocky pools, following a 30 minute board walk through the
rainforest. Combined hot springs/whalewatching
tours take about 6 hours, and are our most recommended tour. A tour
can be booked in Tofino the day before.
