Exhilarating and Rejuvenating: Winter in Tofino
As temperatures begin to dip, plunge into a winter escape in Tofino, on Vancouver Island’s wild, west coast. Embrace exhilarating ocean storms and outdoor adventures but retreat back to the calm, protected Tofino Inlet for relaxing winter wellness and warming ocean, forest and shore-to-table dining at Tofino Resort + Marina.
“Come meet the locals as we say goodbye to the summer crowds and welcome the rejuvenating thrust of winter,” says Lauren Archibald, director of marketing for Tofino Resort + Marina. “Our harbourside resort continues to offer lots of exciting wildlife and wilderness experiences and is the ideal launch pad for ocean expeditions, culinary adventures and for discovering the many artisans and independent boutiques in town.”
Tofino Resort and Marina’s Adventure Centre offers a compelling range of year-round outdoor adventure experiences. A 30-nautical-mile boat ride brings guests to Hot Springs Cove, where a historic boardwalk trail winds its way up to a succession of natural geothermal pools and an absolutely spectacular ocean view. A shorter, 10 minute boat trip lands at Meares Island where the Big Tree Trail bears witness to the towering old-growth rainforest. Tucked in to a quiet cove, within the pristine waters of the Clayoquot Sound, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Tofino Resort + Marina’s wood-fired remote floating sauna, with firepit and built-in hammocks, offers the ultimate way to revive and renew; a chance to stoke your inner fire before taking an invigorating plunge into the healing salty waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Return to the docks and continue to nurture with wholesome dishes at the resort’s signature restaurant, 1909 Kitchen + Bar. Chef Phil Tees and his talented team are guided by a shared philosophy that is rooted in sustainable and circular cuisine, an abundance of delicious dishes on the restaurant’s main menu are creatively conceived to minimize waste and let local seafood, wild foraged mushrooms and winter vegetables take centre stage to a backdrop of rugged ocean and mountain vistas.
