There’s something enticing about toeing the line between serene and spontaneous, exploring the hidden wonders of the unknown while having a comfortable and calming place to come home to.
Here, at this intersection of ruggedness and relaxation, exists the unbridled beauty of Tofino.
Situated within the captivating Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island, Tofino has become a reputable refuge for surfers, hikers, bikers and nature lovers alike, motivating many to make the pilgrimage to its peacefully perfect peninsula.
Nestled on the edge of this outdoor paradise lies Tofino Resort + Marina, your one-way ticket to unlocking the wild wonders and best-kept secrets of B.C.’s West Coast. From exploring the open ocean to enjoying the steam in a surreal floating sauna, this magical venue offers a gateway to unforgettable untapped adventures.
Rest assured. What we’re describing extends far beyond a relaxing hotel stay. It’s an immersive, sustainable escape that will spark inspiration, intrigue and a seemingly unquenchable thirst for adventure.
Before we embark on what a weekend in this spectacular wilderness may entail, you must answer one simple question…Are you ready to answer the call of the wild?
Activities abound, year-round
One of the seemingly endless beauties of Tofino is that there is no real off-season. From winter wildlife trips to guided summertime fishing expeditions, there are countless opportunities for exploration throughout the year. As the only accommodation in the seaside village with an onsite marina, activity centre and full-service restaurant, there’s no better vantage point to start your epic expedition than Tofino Resort + Marina.
First things first, every adventurer knows the importance of beginning with a hearty meal to fuel your drive. Start the day off right at Shelter Restaurant, presenting a mouth-watering menu featuring the freshest fare from local farms and waters, with all meals prepped with precision and passion to inspire you to savour the day.
Once you’re fed and fired up, pop over to the Marine Adventure Centre to discover the ample possibilities for outdoor exploration. It won’t take long to realize that for what seems to be a small-town destination, the opportunities for adventures and one-of-a-kind experiences are vast.
Caress the enchanting waters of the Pacific Ocean with the paddle of your kayak as you take in the amazing and expansive beauty and wildlife just beyond the harbour through a guided trip along the quiet waters of the Tofino Inlet, home of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation.
Admire in awe at the wonders of some of B.C.’s most unique wildlife – including orcas, grey and humpback whales, harbour seals, sea lions, sea otters and porpoises – try your hand at crabbing and visit Wanachus-Hilthuuis (Meares Island) Tribal Park and The Big Tree Trail on a private Ultimate Adventure tour.
Partake in a favourite local pastime with a surf lesson from the pros at Pacific Surf Co. and feel at one with the waves. And the best part—you can easily book this exciting excursion through the resort for a seamless experience.
Whether you’re after a jam-packed day or prefer to space your activities out, you’ll be so spoiled for choice that one trip might not be enough!
Where nature meetings nurture
After revelling in all the day’s excitement, unwind and rest your body with a visit to the remote floating sauna and dock just a short yet scenic 30-minute boat ride away. The wood-fired heat source isn’t the only thing that’ll light a spark in you, as this tantalizing treat merges wellness and wilderness in Tofino’s backyard.
Located deep within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this floating cedar fantasy offers a quiet, protected corner to recharge and reflect, providing a feeling of remoteness that has never been so close.
Upon returning to the resort, treat yourself further with a soothing treatment at the Sacred Stone Spa just a short walk into town for treatments to complete the rejuvenation process. Speak with the guest services team about scheduling a soothing treatment at the Sacred Stone Spa.
