Begin your journey with a stunning 50-minute floatplane flight from Vancouver’s Coal Harbour to Tofino, soaring over coastal mountains, remote inlets, and forested islands. Operated by Harbour Air, this scenic flight is a breathtaking start to your west coast escape.

Upon landing in Tofino, transfer to Long Beach Lodge Resort, an elegant oceanfront retreat nestled at the edge of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Spend the rest of your day soaking in the views, strolling the beach, or relaxing by the fire in the Great Room.

This morning, set off on a half-day bear watching tour, a highlight of your Tofino stay. From May onward, local black bears emerge from hibernation and head to the shoreline in search of food. Aboard an open-air Zodiac, you’ll quietly cruise through sheltered bays and observe these incredible animals as they forage along the beaches.

Led by an expert guide, this tour offers fantastic opportunities for photography and an up-close look at bear behaviour—all set against the stunning backdrop of Vancouver Island’s Pacific coastline.

After your excursion, spend the afternoon relaxing at Long Beach Lodge or exploring more of Tofino’s laid-back charm.
