Please keep in mind that driving distances between destinations can vary significantly.

We believe a trip to Tofino is not complete without spending some time in Port Alberni! Port Alberni is a town you will drive through to get to Tofino (and probably grab some groceries and gas). But it has so much more to offer! Tons of incredible hikes, waterfalls, lakes and amazing breweries. We've added some of our favourite spots and hope you stop in to check out what this awesome town has to offer!

There are plenty of incredible hotels in Tofino! It's hard to go wrong, honestly. But we have chosen the Best Western Tin Wis Resort as a great choice because: 1) It is located right on Mackenzie Beach (our personal favourite) and every room has an ocean view! 2) Complimentary hot breakfast and a Browns Socialhouse on site 3) All Tofino accommodations are quite pricy but this resort is slightly more reasonable than many others 4) This is a massive resort with tons of amenities like an oceanside hot tub, BBQs, beach fire pits and more! 5) Dog friendly rooms are available 🐶
