Tofino offers a wide variety of activities and events all year long and fall at the edge of the Pacific is particularly special. Bonding with Mother Nature takes on a whole new meaning where storm watching is a favourite fall and winter past time. Given the right day, you can choose to brave the wind and feel the force of nature in the great outdoors, or wrapped up in the warmth and comfort of your suite. For those looking to uncover Tofino’s wild side, fall is the time to catch black bears, whales and sea otters at play.
