Tofino

Go in the Shoulder Season, early spring or late fall. The rates are better, and there are less people. Whether you stay in a B&B or Whaler’s Inn Hostel, interesting people you’re bound to meet.

I was born in Tofino, I never lived there though. It was only because Ucluelet was too small to have a hospital of its own!

My family and I went here when I was a kid but the only thing I remember was Long Beach. I plan on going again, I want to make sure to see the hot springs. This is definitely the place to go surfing in Canada. From what I hear, anyway.

We are getting married here. Can anyone help us any ideas? The wedding is for 35 people small buget.

Don’t eat out. Its extremely expensive which is unfortunate. But there is this really good Chinese food place. Good prices and nice people! And go surfing. Best experience of my life. Try and be friends with some people who have surfboards so you don’t have to rent one. That’s what I did and I go to surf for 3 hours. Wear lots of sun screen. Make sure if you go to Ocean Vilage, you don’t get the back room. It’s like an old scouting room and it smelt really bad. Any who. In my case Tofino is the best place on earth and I think everyone should go there at least once in their life.

Yes I realize I can’t spell.

It seemed that I just materialized out of thin air and was standing on a beach in Tofino. The beach was mine alone for at least a km so the fact that I didn’t have anything to swim in wasn’t a problem. The surf was amazing and the water was surprisingly a lot warmer that the mountain stream I had jumped into earlier. (Tip – snow on mountain + crystal clear streams = freaken cold!)

It’s the kind of place that makes you say, “that’s it… I’m not leaving.” The drive there from Victoria is beautiful – snow capped mountains, indigo blue/green streams, etc. I think it’s one of the most amazing places in Canada.

very small town: two-three streets (not long of course) divided by two-three streets. that’s the whole town. so far from the other popular locations on the island.

tofino is famous with its surfers in summer. if you’re not a surfer, it will be a dissappointment for you arriving there and seeing what this place is.

In the process of formulating a trip plan to British Columbia.
I’ve been starring and starring at the seductive images from Wickaninnish Inn for the past 2 days and I just can’t take my eyes off it!

I just WISH I had someone to go with and experience this place in its entirety, sea kayaking through the sound and all. Who knows? Maybe I should leave this for the future. Sigh

I am a 17 year old boy from Suwanee, Georgia. I was raised in a suburban town to a set of divorced parents. My mother traveled to Tofino on her honeymoon with my step-father. They fell in love with it and using their mid-upper class earnings, purchased a condo in the area. They see the place as a beautiful area with marvelous trails for hiking and a great place for my younger brother to go surfing. Myself however went there at age 14 for the first time. I was a 5 foot 5 inch 190 pound akward child. I found myself too self-conscious to desire to surf with my brother, as I was too embarassed to subject myself to the teasing or failure I may have encountered. Being a younger child especially of the current culture our children go through, I found myself staying in the condo quite a bit as well and watching TV and simply squandering my time in this beautiful place. I took this place for granted because I failed to see the beauty of this nearly untouched place. Over the course of the following years, I lost some weight and I found myself wandering this beautiful town. By foot or with the assistance of a bicycle I spent many of my days lost in thought atop a rock formation, or walking through woods and exploring and finally coming to terms with this peculiar and marvelous place, and it deeply saddens me to see the swarms of tourists (such as myself) corrupting this amazing place.
