Tourism Tofino
Tofino comes to life in a big way in the Spring. This is when we celebrate the return of the grey whales and migratory birds, marvel at the black bears waking up from their long sleep and at the rainforest exploding into new greenery and vibrant color. The feeling of renewal is strong here. The new life bursting out everywhere is the perfect antidote to the winter blues. It’s even been known to inspire many romantic moments! Come share our celebration of Spring’s arrival. You’ll be awed by the force of nature here, and how it can move you.
Long Beach Lodge
In April 2002, visionary Tim Hackett, opened the doors to The Long Beach Lodge Resort. It was a cumulative dream that melded his desire to create a west coast style home using traditional coastal designs while embracing the elements of a pristine rugged coastline and serene beach side setting – a truly Canadian experience. The Resort’s location on the edge of Cox Bay, offers breathtaking ocean views from the wild and beautiful west coast that is unique to Vancouver Island.
Tofino Botanical Gardens
Tofino Botanical Gardens are twelve acres of gardens, forest, and shoreline that explore the relationship between culture and nature. Tofino Botanical Gardens Foundation, a non-profit registered Canadian charity operates educational programs and provides information about temperate rainforest conservation.
A network of paths and boardwalks will take you from the Café and Gift shop around the flower, herb and kitchen gardens, the duck pond, and Children’s Garden into the forest, where clearings have been transformed into a series of pocket gardens, art installations and garden buildings.
