Holidays in Tofino

The age-old hippie hangout of Tofino, on Vancouver Island's central west coast, draws visitors from near and far to indulge in the abundance of water and land-based activities for which it is so well known. Since Highway 4 was built in the 1980s, linking the town with the outside world and enabling access to the area's jaw-dropping coastline, Tofino has become a go-to eco-chic holiday hotspot. Once the Canadian equivalent of California’s Big Sur, visitors can be rest assured that like its American counterpart, despite the increase in luxury beachfront homes and wealthy weekenders escaping the city, Tofino still retains its free-spirited charm and tie-dye culture, with laid-back vibes aplenty.
