Take a trip to Tofino, a sleepy coastal village on the western shores of Vancouver Island, Canada. Nestled within the traditional territory of the region’s myriad First Nations communities, expect indigenous arts and cultural interactions. Tofino sits at the tip of a picturesque peninsula surrounded by the protected Clayoquot Sound region, home to superb biodiversity in the calm inlets and ancient rainforests. Miles of hiking and biking trails on the fringes of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve encourage outdoor explorations. While scenic flights to Hot Spring Cove invite you to soak in Tofino’s natural beauty from the air, speedboat tours allow for bear watching, birding, and whale watching. Thanks to the open coast winds, Tofino is a paradise for surfers and storm watchers.
