Tofino Ultimate Camping

Start your day at 6:45am with a warm welcome from your guide at Canada Place in Vancouver. At 7:00am, depart for Horseshoe Bay, where you’ll check in for the ferry to Nanaimo. Keep an eye out for wildlife during the scenic crossing. Visit the iconic Coombs Market and spot the famous rooftop goats before heading to Tofino. Explore the stunning Long Beach, the longest beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Afterward, set up camp at your campground and enjoy some free time for dinner.

Today, you can choose to explore the town of Tofino on your own or book one of the optional activities such as whale watching, bear watching, surfing, or kayaking, with advance booking highly recommended. You’ll have a full day to explore Tofino or join your guide for a leisurely walk/hike to Tonquin Beach. It’s also easily accessible from downtown for those who prefer to explore independently. In the evening, relax or join your guide for a campfire and marshmallow roast at the beach (weather and fire restrictions permitting).

Pack up your campsite and head to Ucluelet, where you’ll have the chance to hike the Lighthouse Loop on the Wild Pacific Trail. Visit Cathedral Grove, a protected old-growth forest with ancient Douglas-fir trees over 800 years old. Continue to Nanaimo to check in for the ferry back to Vancouver, arriving in downtown Vancouver at approximately 9:00pm, depending on traffic.

The Tofino Ultimate Camping Tour takes you to Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, and the picturesque villages of Tofino and Ucluelet on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island.

Free activities range from sightseeing and walks/hikes, to a Canadian campfire, where you can roast marshmallows and learn how to make s’mores (weather and fire-restriction permitting)! You can also choose to partake in the optional activities listed below, at an additional cost.
