One of the best places to eat in town. It's a little up market so be prepared to spend a little more. This place gets booked out quickly. Make a reservation before your stay if you want to eat here.

Awesome coffee, and the perfect breakfast/ lunch snacks. During the summer months this place can get very busy. Be prepaid to wait or go super early so you don't miss out.

A hidden gem in Tofino. This hike requires good shoes as there is a fair amount of scrambling over tree roots and rocks. The view at the top is more than worth it.

The rainforest trail, this boardwalk trail is perfect in all weathers. On a hot day you can keep cool under the canopy of trees. When it rains the surroundings become so vibrant and green making it look extra magical on those rainey days.
