One of the last remaining pockets of old-growth temperate rainforest in British Columbia, Meares Island Tribal Park is just a short paddle from Tofino and home to some of the largest trees in Canada.

The new 6-hour Meares Island Explorer offers an immersive way to experience this remarkable ecosystem, stewarded for millenia by the Tla-o-qui-aht. Paddle through the islands of Clayoquot Sound to Meares Island Tribal Park, before completing the full 5 km Big Tree Trail loop.

The only guided tour in Tofino to venture beyond the boardwalk section of the trail, this extended route takes you deeper into the rainforest, to see towering ancient red cedars, some more than 1,000 years old. Along the way, learn about the wildlife, ecology, and history that make this place so extraordinary.

The wonder of old-growth forests are yours to see with the Meares Island Explorer.

The Strawberry full moon is the first full moon of the summer and is a reminder to savour the season - embrace the warm days, enjoy the salty air and enjoy the abundance of what’s in season 🌝🍓

Watch the night sky tonight, June 29, for a full moon rising. The peak of this full moon is around 5 PM, so look to the south-east if you’re standing on the beach.

You could be greeted to views like this moonset on your beach walk Tuesday morning, or if you’re out for a dawn patrol surf.

You can also taste what’s in season locally and from around Vancouver Island - here’s a build-your-own sample menu of dishes from a few restaurants with seasonal ingredients:

• WOLF in the FOG - Tatlo Farms Green Salad with rhubarb and berries
• Long Beach Lodge Resort - Island Tomato Salad
• The Pointe Restaurant—Kittery - Beef Tartare featuring huckleberry and currant blossoms
• - Spot Prawn Salad
• ROAR - Pacific Honey Mussels + Smoked Edemame Beans featuring pickled sea asparagus
• - Sproat Lake Farm Quail featuring smoked strawberry*

Paired with a dessert crawl 🍓🍦:

• Ombré - Olive Oil Cake featuring poached rhubarb and spruce sorbetto
• Chocolate Tofino - Vanilla Rhubarb gelato
• 250SOCIALBAR+KITCHEN - Vegan Strawberry Mousse
• Tofino Licks - soft serve Sundae with Savary Island Pie Company seasonal pie crumble
• NEIGHBOURS Café + Provisions - grab some rhubarb COCOFINO YOGURT yogurt for breakfast or see which vegan soft serve they have on rotation

And maybe you cap it off (responsibly) with a Tofino Brewing Company spruce tree ale as another sample of summer🌲

*You do have to book the entire tasting menu as an experience at and cannot order à la carte, and you will see why as it is an immersive dining experience!

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day - a day to recognize the lands on which we reside and visit, and to acknowledge the original caretakers of these places.

Here in ńačiqs | Tofino, that means walking with respect in the home of ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ (Tla-o-qui-aht) and ʕaaḥuusʔatḥ (Ahousaht) First Nations.

The Tla-o-qui-aht ḥaw̓iiḥ (hereditary Chiefs) ask that all visitors to this territory - whether you live here or are visiting for a few days - take the ʔiisaak Pledge: four core teachings and laws of Tla-o-qui-aht, which are teachings echoed by many other Nuu-chah-nulth Nations (meaning “People all along the mountains and the sea”).
