DAY 1 - ARRIVAL

For those arriving by air, enjoy a brief 40-minute scenic flight from Vancouver International Airport's South Terminal to Tofino. During the flight, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the impressive west coast scenery. Once you land at Tofino airport, your guide will greet you and help with your luggage before a ~15 minute transfer to the lodge. If you're arriving by car, please plan to arrive no earlier than 14:00. Should you arrive early, feel free to enjoy a meal in the main lodge or unwind with a cocktail at the Sandbar Bistro. Upon reaching the lodge, you will receive a detailed orientation covering the lodge, its amenities and upcoming adventures. Check-in to your room begins at 16:00, and each evening a three-course dinner is served at 19:00.

DAY 2 - SURFING & HIKING

This morning we will welcome you to the Pacific with the option to learn to surf with a friendly local Surf Instructor. Whether you’re a beginner surfer or you’ve been surfing for years our year round waves at Cox Bay is a great spot for beginner and intermediate surfers to have fun and improve their skills. If you aren't up for a surf, we also can provide paddle boarding or have alternative options such as yoga or relaxation before heading out on the trail this afternoon. After lunch, we will head for a guided hike in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. We will immerse ourselves in the coastal temperate rainforest and discover the rich natural history of Vancouver Island's west coast. After this day of adventure, you may enjoy a healing massage or just rest before dinner.

DAY 3 - WILDLIFE VIEWING & HOT SPRINGS

Today we'll take to our bikes for a scenic ride along the beaches of the Esowista Peninsula and into the village of Tofino. After a visit of some of the local shops and cafes, we will embark by boat and cruise into the deep fjords of Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in search of black bears, sea otters, whales, eagles and seals. Eventually we will make our way to Hot Springs Cove to take part in our de-stressing ritual and connect with nature, relax your mind, body and soul and relax in the geothermal hot pools. We'll return to the lodge in the late afternoon with enough time for a siesta, a beach stroll or a soak in the spa before another great dinner.

DAY 4 - CULTURAL TOUR TO KIIXIN

If you are interested in our 5 day package extension, we will explore further south into Barkley Sound & Bamfield, where we will visit Kiixin for a unique opportunity to learn about Indigenous history, traditional practices, and the deep connection of the Huu-ay-aht to their land and sea.

DAY 5 - DEPARTURE

Check-out is at 11:00. If you are flying back to Vancouver with Pacific Coastal Airlines, take advantage of a leisurely morning in which you can enjoy the lodge property, make use of the spa and gym, play some lawn games, or simply relax before taking our shuttle back to the Tofino Airport for the flight back to Vancouver. If you are departing on foot by ferry, we will arrange to drive you to the BC Ferries Terminal in time for your sailing. If you are driving home, our generous hospitality team will pack you a lunch, if you would like, before wishing you the best and helping you on your way.
