Tofino Resort Vacations – A Honeymoon on Canada's Pacific Coast
Custom Search
Maureen and I have travelled to Tofino, BC several times, including trips in late November and during winter storm season in early March. We loved the cozy nights by the fireplace in our oceanfront cabin, with the pounding surf spraying our front door!
You could hear the fog horn blow in the distance, with a lighthouse beacon visible through the distant mist. And on our final evening, a late clearing for a splendid sunset over the Pacific.
Our days were filled with outdoor activities like exploring the rainforest in Pacific Rim National Park. We hiked the headlands and woodland trails of Long Beach.
We casually wandered the streets of both Tofino and nearby Ucluelet, checking out the small shops, restaurants, and quaint harbors. We found a few small cafes and bakeries with home baked muffins and organic coffee! And of course, mouth-watering seafood is easy to find.
The fresh ocean air, the calming sounds of the waves, and the seclusion of Tofino all make it an unforgettable destination. And we think one of the best places to honeymoon!

When is the best time to visit Tofino?The high season for tourism in Tofino is anytime between mid June to mid September. The sun shines, the weather is warm, and the everyone is having fun near the water (only the brave are swimming, as the ocean is cold even in summer). For these months, book well in advance.
We think the best time to visit Tofino is September and April for a nice balance of winter and summer things to do.
