Travel Guide to Tofino BC

Looking to escape the hustle bustle of Vancouver? Experience the beauty of British Columbia with this Tofino Travel Guide. For those of you who haven’t heard of Tofino, BC, it’s a small surf town located on the west coast of Vancouver Island. After a scenic ferry ride (from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo, on BC Ferries) and stunning 3-hour drive through the mountains, you will arrive at this sleepy little town; but don’t be fooled, there is plenty to see and do, all of which I’ve covered for you in this Tofino travel guide!

Why Travel to Tofino BC?

Adventure seekers can delight at the endless activity options, while nature lovers will enjoy all the wildlife, rainforest, and rustic coastlines. Even city dwellers will be impressed with some of Canada’s top-rated restaurants, quirky surf shops and relaxing spas. Tofino, BC truly has something special for every type of traveller, all year-round.

Now, I’m not claiming to be a Tofino expert, but after 5 years living on Vancouver Island, I’ve been to Tofino too many times to count. So let’s just say, I have some Tofino travel experience to share. Tofino is truly one of my favourite places in Canada, due to its laid-back surf town vibes.

Since my recent trip in March, some friends have asked me for a Tofino travel guide, so that’s exactly what I’ve created for you; however, it’s turned into quite the epic post, so grab a coffee or some vino (depending on the time) and continue on. Also, make sure to check out my IG Story Highlights for some more snippets of my recent trip in March (just scroll back on my Highlight section)!

Tofino Camping & Accommodation

Like I mentioned, I’ve travelled to Tofino too many times to count, and every time I’ve stayed somewhere different. In the summer, camping is a great way to experience Tofino, but any other season I recommend Airbnb, VRBO, or there are also many beautiful resorts, depending on your budget. Below are some options I’ve either stayed at or where I want to stay in the future. For this Tofino travel guide I’ve listed them in order of price, starting with the least expensive and ranging up to more luxury resorts at a higher price point:

Bella Pacifica Campground

Beachfront camping, with clean washroom facilities and picnic beaches. Prices range depending on the season. For the summer months make sure to book a space in advance, as these do fill up.

Ocean Village

Beautiful beachfront cabins. I haven’t stayed here, but I’ve always wanted to. Just look how cool these cabins look!

Beautiful + Spacious Inlet Getaway

Our friend’s beautiful  VRBO rental  that is tucked into the woods and is perfect for bigger groups or families. We loved using their big kitchen, log burning fireplace, and private hot tub daily! This cabin also allows dogs, if you have a furry friend joining you.

Middle Beach Lodge

I stayed here for my brother’s wedding and was absolutely blown away by the service, location and stunning rooms. It was so cozy and comfortable, and the lodge went above and beyond to offer everything we needed for our stay. They even had rainboots, jackets and umbrellas for guests to use, but my favourite part was the homemade chocolate cookies they put out before bed. Clearly, they know the way to my heart!

Wickaninnish Inn

A cozy chic resort, with every room offering ocean views. They are also known for their restaurant and lavish spa treatments.

Pacific Sands Beach Resort

Suites right off the beach with private hot tubs, and small kitchens.

Things to Do in Tofino BC

Surf in tofino, bc.

Without a doubt, the most famous Tofino activity is surfing! Regardless, if you want to learn how to surf, or already know how to hang 10 and catch a wave, make sure to try BC’s most famous surf area. Although the water is colder, the best swell is in the fall and winter months.

  • Already a pro? Make sure to rent a wetsuit and maybe booties, as the water is cold all year-round! Some beaches to surf at are Middle Beach, Chesterman Bay, Schooner Cove, or Cox Bay
  • Never surfed a wave in your life: no worries, there are plenty of great surf lessons and camps to help you become a pro in no time! Look up Surf Sisters Surf School or Pacific Surf co. to get you started.

Since I don’t have any photos of myself surfing (although I swear I have!), here are some epic shots from Instagram to get you motivated to get out there!

Whale Watching Tour with Ocean Outfitters

During our 3-hour tour, we not only saw grey whales & humpbacks but also eagles, porpoises and sea lions. We absolutely loved our guide, Ryan, who went out of his way to find us whales and show us a good time! I loved that  Ocean Outfitters had a variety of tours per day, and a variety of boats to better suit the weather. For example, we had originally booked on a zodiac boat, but due to the stormy weather, we were able to change onto a boat that offered shelter and a viewing deck for a better experience.

Meares Island (Easy Hike)

A hidden gem off the coast of Tofino, BC, which is home to some of the tallest and oldest trees in BC. You do need to hire a sea taxi to get you there and back, but the small expense ($10 ferry round-trip & $20 park fees) and 10-minute boat ride gave us this little island all to ourselves for the afternoon. The size of these trees still amazes me, and it felt so peaceful to be amongst these giants for the afternoon. It took us about two hours to walk around the island!

*Note: Guided kayaking tours to Meares Island are also a great option if you have good weather.

Cox Bay Landing (Challenging Hike)

A more difficult hike, that isn’t well marked, but the view makes it all worth it. Unfortunately, Tofino, BC, is known to be sunny one minute and then raining the next, and that was definitely the case this day. We literally left the beach with the sun beaming down on us, and when we got to the top, the skies had clouded over and we had some very wet photos at the top. Then in the 20 minutes, it took us to get down to the beach, it was bright and sunny again. This weather left us with some very muddy shoes, so I suggest bringing a rain jacket and shoes you don’t mind getting muddy. Since this hike isn’t too long (just steep), you could almost do it in rain boots.

Directions for Cox Bay Landing

This hike starts at the far left-hand side of the beach (when looking towards the ocean). There is no signage, but you will see an opening in the trees near the far back corner of the woods. We took this trail all the way up until we reached this view. At times, this ‘trail’ felt more like a small muddy stream, but it did get us to the top. We also had to go up some steep areas and used the surrounding roots or trees to keep us steady.

Explore Tofino’s Beautiful Beaches

Tofino’s Pacific coastline is famous for its gorgeous sandy beaches that stretch for miles. Since there are too many beaches to list, I’ve included a great site here that lists all the local beaches & trails, with directions, photos, and what activities they are best known for (ie. surfing, swimming, SUPing, etc)!

Note: For those wondering about beach fires, only Mackenzie & Chesterman Beaches allows them.

Long Beach

Hot Spring Cove

Tofino’s Hot Spring is one thing I haven’t experienced, but it’s on my list for our next visit! You do have to take a boat to get to these rocky hot tubs, which can also be arranged through Ocean Outfitters.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Narcity Canada (@narcitycanada)

End the Day with a Sunset Beach Walk

One of the main reasons people come to Tofino is the beautiful beaches and scenery. Since the beaches stretch for miles, you are guaranteed to find a quiet corner to enjoy the magical sunsets, and maybe even a sneaky beverage.

Looking for more adventure activities? Biking, stand up paddle boarding, fishing, kayaking, and other activities are also offered in Tofino.

Tofino Restaurants: Where to Eat & Drink 

For such a small town, it always surprises me how many great food options are in Tofino. Hopefully, you’ll have time to try some of these delicious spots.

Wolf in the Fog

Awarded Canada’s number one new restaurant in 2016, this is a food experience you don’t want to miss. Most dishes are altered due to the season, but all of them are delicious. I have visited this restaurant twice as a group, as a lot of dishes are to share, but you could also go as a pair and enjoy it just as much. For a group, I highly recommend their punch bowls, as they go far, and more importantly, are very strong. 😉 Other favourites include Potato Crusted Oyster, Pork Belly, and the Albacore Tuna Poke. Make sure to ask what the seasonal specials are, as they never disappoint.

Punch Bowls at The Wolf in the Fog - perfect for groups

Rhino Donuts

A laid-back cafe located in the main village, perfect for breakfast but more famously known for their donuts. If you stop by, make sure to try their Maple bacon donut. I was really hoping to take a photo of them, but they were practically gone before we even got the box home.

Tofitian Coffee

Their top-notch coffee will help perk you up for an early surf session.

I'm a sucker for beautiful cafe interiors - also, if you need a space to work in, this is it!

Kitchen 1909

The best patio in town, and a big menu to accommodate different appetites.

Not to be missed – the original food truck that started Vancouver’s famous restaurant chain. Make sure to try their fresh fish tacos or burritos. Also, their ‘mango-coconut Liucados’ are to-die-for and aren’t offered at any of their other locations. I would go to Tofino just to get my hands on one of those right now!

Tofino Brewery

Tofino Brewery

A great place to meet some locals & try brews titled: Kelp Stout, Spruce Tree Ale & Tuff Session Ale. Doesn’t get more Canadian than that!

Japanese-inspired tapas intended for sharing; or if you aren’t the sharing type, their ramen soups will warm you up on a cold stormy day!

So popular they created a top-selling cookbook. A great spot for lunch – make sure to try their stuffed tofu pockets.

Ice House Oyster Bar

You can’t come to Tofino and not indulge in some seafood. All of it is caught daily, and only a mere meters away.

Shopping in Tofino BC

Saturday Summer Market: In the summer months (May -September), local artists, bakers and other vendors get together in the village to sell their goods at the outdoor market. Hours are 10am-2pm.

Otherwise, in the main village, you will find funky surf shops, local jewellers, and trendy boutiques open all year round.

Tofino views

Honestly, as a girl who has travelled to a lot of places in Canada and the world, Tofino is still one of my favourite spots! There is so much to see and do, and the scenery is truly breathtaking! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Well, friends, that concludes a rather extensive travel guide for Tofino, BC =, but I hope it’s helpful for those travelling here for the first time.

The Ultimate Guide to Tofino

Ultimate Tofino BC Travel Guide

Hands down one of our favourite places to visit is Tofino BC so I put together this guide to Tofino with all my recommendations. Whether you only have 3 days in Tofino or an entire week, you can be as busy or as chill as you want in this awesome little beach town. And if you’re like us, you may want a little – or a lot – of both. We visit Tofino every summer so my guide to Tofino offers recommendations on what to do in Tofino (hint: there’s more than just surfing), where to stay, the best places to eat and drink, how to get to Tofino, and more. So get ready for the ultimate British Columbia road trip, and read on.

Guide to Tofino:

Best Tofino beaches for sunset

Where to Stay in Tofino

We often choose to mix up our accommodation, and often camp as well as stay at Tofino’s top rated B&B.

Tofino camping is one of my favourite things and this summer we stayed at the new Surf Grove campground . I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s right on Cox Bay, which is where you want to be if you’re planning to surf. They have 135 fully-serviced RV campsites and 64 semi-serviced campsites. It’s beautifully designed and well maintained, with significant attention given to sustainability which I really love. Did I mention it’s steps away from the beach? I honestly can’t wait to return!

We have also stayed at Bella Pacifica . The location is great as it’s right on Mackenzie Beach. However, the campsites are listed as “private and forested” on their website and I actually found them small and dark. We were there midweek in July so it was a bit surprising to see it so busy. We also had a campsite next to us partying until the wee hours of the morning, which is never fun. If these things don’t bother you, then Bella Pacifica is a great spot. Otherwise, this might be a better option if you’re planning to visit Tofino in the off season.

Tofino Accommodation

Our other recent accommodation was Seafarers B&B , which is one of the highest rated B&B in Tofino. The owner, Maria, has received hundreds of comments just on how amazing her breakfast is. And while I have loads of dietary restrictions for my autoimmune protocol diet, she did a wonderful job providing a delicious breakfast for me. The room was spacious, bright and comfortable, albeit a bit dated. It actually reminded me a bit of my aunt’s condo from the 80’s, ha ha! The location is unmatched as it’s directly across the street from Chesterman beach and I literally walked home barefoot (or could pop back to use our bathroom rather than the public restroom). We found it to be a bit expensive but I’d definitely stay here again. 

Tofino hotels are expensive however if you want to treat yourself, then Long Beach Lodge or Middle Beach Lodge are luxurious Tofino accommodation options well worth the splurge.

Guide to Tofino: Best Places to Eat and Drink

Wolf in the Fog is an award-winning restaurant in Tofino, and rightly so. The menu is always fresh, and hyper local, and the staff are seasoned fine dining restaurant servers. The roasted black cod was to die for and the “seacruterie” is a great way to try a variety of local seafood. We chose to sit outside and our timing couldn’t have been better as we were able to enjoy the sunset from their second floor terrace. 

Wolf in the Fog best places to eat in Tofino

Another restaurant that is a must-try is 1909 Kitchen at the Tofino Resort & Marina. Chef Paul Moran, a recent winner of Top Chef Canada, offers a fresh and creative menu that is a must-try. However he told us he was leaving at the end of summer 2020 to work on a new project in Haida Gwaii so stay tuned for that! Regardless, Chef’s menu was delicious, I loved the decor, the views of the marina were stunning (especially at sunset), so there’s still plenty of reason to visit 1909 Kitchen.

We tried to go to Tacofino but the line was insanely long. Apparently people wait up to two hours but I don’t think any restaurant, let alone a food truck, is worth that. Luckily we discovered an AMAZING new-to-us restaurant called Wildside Grill that has the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. Honestly, it felt serendipitous that we didn’t want to wait for Tacofino – I’d go to Wildside Grill every day just for those fish tacos if I could. 

Best Fish Tacos in Tofino BC

If you and your sweet tooth are looking for a treat, then look no further than Chocolate Tofino . They make the most amazing hand-crafted chocolate so indulge yourself or purchase some as a gift for someone else. Personally, I looooooved the High Seas Dark Chocolate Bar. It’s organic 70% dark chocolate with Vancouver Island Pacific Sea Salt – seriously so delicious. And the best part is that $1 from every High Seas Bar sold goes to defending ocean wildlife. While you’re at Chocolate Tofino, you should probably get some of their famous gelato too.

Gelato and chocolate in Tofino

Like most towns in the Pacific Northwest, there’s no shortage of awesome coffee shops in Tofino. A definite cult-favourite is the Tofitian Cafe . I can attest that there’s something magical about what they do, from their hearty pastries (including vegan and gluten-free options) to their London Fog tea – we went here at least once a day! Tofitian Cafe is an easy 10-15 minute walk or just minutes by bike from Chesterman Beach and Mackenzie Beach, respectively. 

Tofitian Best Tofino coffee shop

One of the best coffee shops in Tofino according to locals is the Rhino Coffee House . Personally, I love that Rhino has a variety of dairy alternatives (including oat and coconut milk, which are surprisingly hard to find). In addition to coffee, they’re known for donuts. They’re amazing so definitely ‘donut’ pass these up, hahaha! They also have an awesome selection of sandwiches – ask for The “Bro” Nut breakfast sandwich made on a savoury donut – and other baked goods. Rhino is centrally located right in downtown Tofino, which makes it easy to hit them up multiple times a day.

Things to Do: Guide to Tofino

The most obvious and common thing to do in Tofino is surfing. Whether you’re a complete newbie or a seasoned pro, there are loads of options. If you fall into the former category, sign up for lessons with one of the Tofino surf schools. 

Be sure to read my recommendations for the Best Tofino Surf Schools .

There are so many cool little shops in Tofino. My favourites are Habit Clothing + Apparel for super cute clothes and Two Trees for home decor, body and gifts. I always try to support the local artisans when I visit small towns and Tofino is known for some amazing product. I highly recommend the body scrub or candles from the Tofino Soap Company . Or if you’re looking for a boho beach blanket or beautiful towels, look for the Tofino Towel Company in the local shops.

Art Gallery

If time allows, check out the Roy Henry Vickers Art Gallery , a celebration of the work of world-renowned Canadian First Nations artist Roy Vickers. We ran out of time on this trip but I’m planning to visit when we’re back this fall and can’t wait to see his legendary work up close!

Whether you’re a sun-worshipper or a sunset photographer, you’ll want to become acquainted with Tofino’s beaches. Sit back as you watch the surfers rip or chill out with a book while you work on your tan. Just remember, the beaches are windy so be prepared with layers and look for shelter on the beach. There are so many great beaches in Tofino that all offer something special.

These are the best swimsuits for every body typ e. Be sure to get one before your trip – they’re all under $40!

Tofino has a paved bike path that connects the entire length of the town so you really don’t need a car. It’s almost entirely flat so not only will biking provide great exercise, you can enjoy some adults pops on the beach or wine with dinner and not worry about having to drive home. 

Things to see and do in Tofino B.C.

Guide to Tofino: How to Get There

Personally, I love to fly to Tofino. You save yourself about 6-8 hours of driving each way (from Vancouver and the lower mainland). The flight from Vancouver to Tofino is about an hour, plus you really don’t need your car once you’re there. If you’re planning to go (3 days in Tofino is a perfect amount of time) then you want to spend the majority of the time relaxing, not commuting, in my opinion. If you’re planning to fly, I recommend Pacific Coast Airlines . They have regularly scheduled flights from the Vancouver South Terminal to Tofino-Long Beach Airport, which is about halfway between Tofino and Ucluelet. 

If you’re driving, the Horseshoe Bay ferry runs between West Vancouver and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island and takes about about 1.5 hours each way. Once you’re on Vancouver Island, take Highway 4 all the way west from Nanaimo to Tofino (2.5-3 hours). While It’s a bit pricey to drive on to B.C. Ferries , it’s a scenic, albeit slow and windy, drive.

I’ve saved all of the locations on Guide to Tofino in my Google Maps so you can simply click here to access it. 

Your Questions about Tofino BC, Answered

Is it expensive to stay in tofino.

Tofino is a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful beaches, surfing, and abundance of outdoor activities, so prices can be higher during peak seasons. These typically include the summer months and holiday periods. To potentially save money, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) when prices may be more affordable, and the weather is still pleasant.

Is Ucluelet cheaper than Tofino?

Yes, Ucluelet is generally considered to be more affordable than Tofino when it comes to accommodations. Ucluelet is another popular tourist destination located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, just south of Tofino. It offers similar natural beauty and outdoor activities but tends to have a slightly lower cost of living and lower accommodation prices compared to Tofino.
