General presentation
Tofino and Pacific Rim
West coast of Vancouver Island made up of long beaches, rainforests, Pacific swell and ocean-facing villages.
To understand what Tofino and Pacific Rim are, you need to look at Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, Long Beach and Tofino. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the coastline, forests and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve The changing weather is part of the experience, between mist, spray and high tides.
Nature and landscape
Long Beach
Long Beach unfolds a huge beach beaten by the Pacific, where the swell, the stranded trunks and the clouds give a very open scale to the landscape. We come there as much to walk as to look at surfers and feel the power of the ocean.
Place indismissible
Tofino
Tofino is a small end port of the world that has become a base of surfing, marine observation and excursions to the islands. Its strength comes from the contrast between passenger services and the immediate presence of a still wild coast.
