A 7-day trip to Tofino & Pacific Rim, British Columbia
Old-growth rainforest meets ferocious Pacific surf at the rugged end of Highway 4.
Set on Clayoquot Sound on the remote west coast of Vancouver Island, Tofino pairs untamed temperate rainforest and raw open ocean with a refined, surf-town culture. Reaching it requires intention: a ferry crossing from mainland British Columbia followed by a winding three-hour alpine drive across Highway 4. Once you arrive, the pace slows to the cadence of the tides, whether you are donning a 5/4mm wetsuit at Cox Bay, soaking in a floating wood-fired sauna, or watching winter gale-force swells crash against the granite headlands.
