Sitting proudly at the tip of a peninsula accessed by Highway 4, Tofino's landscape is dominated by trees and miles of shoreline.

Known world-wide as a year-round surfing destination, Tofino is a great place to include on your RV vacation.  Its beaches and laid back lifestyle draw thousands of visitors to the town every year.

Winter in Tofino brings dramatic skies, huge surf and intense rainfall - the perfect recipe for great storm watching.

Beach activities are the order of the day come summer. If you’re not into surfing or stand-up paddleboarding yourself, you can while away hours watching others. At low tide, explore the tidal caves or forage in the rock pools looking for star fish and sea anemones. Keep your eyes peeled for gray and humpback whales in the distance or, if the wind is blowing, fly a kite.

Organised activities are plentiful. Boat tours leave daily for hot springs, tofino whale watching, bear watching - you can even try your hand at deep sea fishing or sign up for a Food Tour. Opportunities are endless in this remote, inspiring place, so plan to spend more than one day here to soak in all it has to offer.
