Located on the outer coast of Vancouver Island, Tofino offers the traveller experiences in pristine natural environments with comfortable amenities only minutes away. Tofino is a popular destination for whale watching. The annual migration from Baja California to the Bering Sea passes the entrance to Tofino harbor in the Spring, peaking in April and May, and then passes again in the Autumn as the whales travel south. Quite a few whales spend the summer in Clayoquot Sound, so whale watching is possible over a long period.
Orcas are also frequent visitors to the area.
Take an excursion to Hot Spring's Cove. You will see lots of wildlife on your boat ride there. Clothing is optional as you relax in the Spring's soothing waters. For the more energetic several outfits offer Kayaking. Paddle tours can be as short as a couple of hours or a week in duration.
