If someone calls in March, they now have the opportunity to book the start of their hike for any day during the month of May. Reservations for the entire month of June open on April 1 st , for July on May 1 st , and so on. Invalid or expired credit cards will result in cancelled reservations. Changes to your reservation or your start date may only be made through the Super Natural British Columbia Reservation Service , and provided that space is available on your new intended start date. In addition, any unused overnight quota spaces, cancellations and no-show reservations will be assigned to hikers by the waitlist system. Reservations are available only for the current calendar year and can only be changed if spaces are available.
Reservations are optional but recommended.
To maintain the ecological integrity of the area, only 52 hikers are allowed to start daily - 26 at Gordon River trailhead and 26 at Pachena Bay trailhead. This fee is payable at the Trailheads only, on the day the hike commences, and is in addition to the reservation fee. Visa, Mastercard and cash are accepted Fees do not include the privately-operated ferries at Port Renfrew and Nitinat Narrows. We would appreciate your comments about the West Coast Trail and any suggestions you may have for improving the experience for all hikers.
