Hi hoping to visit mid July, hoping to see as much wildlife as possible. How many days would you recommend we set aside and which tours would you recommend? Is there accommodation close to where the tours leave from? Thanks in advance

We stayed at Jamie's Rainforest Inn, short drive outside Tofino for 3 nights in August as part of a trip around BC and Alberta. Didn't book trips until arrival but reception were able to arrange bear watching trip (larger boat) for next morning (saw 11 bears, blue heron, bald eagles, harbour seals, jellyfish etc) and whale watching (whale, sea otters, seals) second morning. Read guidance for tours using Zodiac boats - depends on state of your health. Staying at Inn gave us discount with Jamie's Whaling Station. Left us time to do part of Wild Pacific trail in Uclulet, Wicknannish beach, Rainforest trail, and some other shorter ones. Do Cathedral Grove on your 3 hour drive across the island. Recommend eating at Shelter opposite Jamie's Whaling Station.

Hi Audrey, We offer great, affordable accommodation in a rainforest setting. Jamie's Rainforest Inn offers many room types for multiple budgets and there is a restaurant in the hotel. There are special rates for our adventure tours for guests staying at Jamie's Rainforest Inn. In general, Tofino can be an expensive place to visit, mostly due to the location. We are very remote, being a 1.5 hour drive from the nearest large town. Accommodation is between $0-$500/a night for the various providers in Tofino and food prices range, depending on your preference and budget. It is very helpful to have a vehicle out here, but not necessary as there are bus options. I hope this answers your question. See you next year! Jamie
