Hike through rainforest to a special whale-watching spot
Tofino, CanadaOut and back · 5.2 km · 1:00 h · 217 m elevation gain
Tonquin Trail in Tofino is a beautiful, short hiking trail that offers spectacular views of the Pacific coast.
What you can experience here
The easy hiking trail starts in Tofino and winds through the rainforest with access to various beaches. It’s best to walk the trail at low tide, as the entire beach is accessible then. Here you can not only discover rock formations with cave-like entrances but you can also watch grey whales and orcas from the shore. You can also see sea otters and harbour seals here all year round. The Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society has been observing the wildlife here for over 26 years.
