Victoria, Tofino & Vancouver Island

Island living, Canada-style
Victoria is a destination requisite with craft breweries, artisan coffee shops and colourful creative neighbourhoods. This is Canada west coast style and we’re proud and fortunate to call this part of the world home. Head to Tofino, for windswept dramatic coastlines that are equally stunning in moody weather as they are in the sunshine, or drive the length of this island to discover why we call it Beautiful British Columbia.

The waters surrounding Tofino and Ucluelet are among the most prolific marine habitats in the world. Traveling through the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations, it’s not unusual to see orca whales, humpback whales, dolphins, seals and sea lions, or hungry wolves and bears scavenging along the shore.

Tofino isn’t just a summer destination – winter brings passionate storms and pounding waves, perfect for days of stormwatching from the window of a cozy Oceanside cabin. Our Insider tip: Skip the line up at local favourite Tacofino and request delivery right to your room.

Tofino

Looking out across the beach in Tofino you could easily convince yourself that you’ve traveled to the edge of the earth. This is the wild west coast where not many choose to venture to, and those who do are richly rewarded.
