Tofino Brewing Company was built around a few basic ideas:  brewing great beer, being a positive addition to our town, and operating in a sustainable and locally focused manner.

They brew small batch, handcrafted beer using high quality malted barley and pacific northwest hops. Try a flight of our staples and seasonals, enjoy a pint of your favourite or just grab some beer to-go!

With this larger-than-life natural setting for inspiration, it’s no wonder Tofino’s creative community thrives. 

The Tofino Market is where to meet over 30 local artisans, artists, bakers and more, all with their own style that reflects our rugged coast.  Some snack purveyors are usually on-site and look under the gazebo for live music or an artist workshop or demonstration. 

A playground surrounded by rhododendron trees is conveniently adjacent to the Village Green for younger market-goers to take a break. 

While there is typically some fresh produce on offer, this is a market of creators.  The pioneering spirit of this remote village, not so long ago called Tuff City, lives on at the Tofino Market.

The Market is held on the Village Green every Saturday from the Victoria Day weekend in May-Thanksgiving weekend in October. Do as the local residents do and cycle to the Village Green or take the free shuttle in summer.

Sometimes finding those out of the way places can turn a regular visit into an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. That’s why it’s worth finding Tofino Water Taxi.

Support Indigenous and connect to Tla-o-qui-aht Culture at the Tin Wis.

Tin Wis is within Tla-o-qui-aht Ḥaaḥuułi and the Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks, and like the ancestral village site that existed here for tens of thousands of years, the 85-room beachfront hotel stands facing one of the oldest highways on earth – the ocean. Connected to this deeply storied place, Tin Wis Best Western Resort’s own evolution relies upon the resilience of the Tla-o-qui-aht people, ancestral land and identity, and the perseverance of Cultural Lifeways as well as the Indigenous laws which protect biological diversity.

Tinuwis means calm waters, and, like much of the Tla-o-qui-aht language the name is more verb than noun, expressing how the waves calm as they enter this protected cove which continues to be a haven for birds, paddlers, guests and the local community.

Tin Wis Resort invites ethical travelers to connect to Tla-o-qui-aht culture, support Nation building efforts and Tribal Parks Allies, and experience the effect of the area’s calming waters.

We produce high quality cured meats and provisions using local and seasonal BC ingredients. Practicing traditional production and aging techniques, and using only the minimum required preservatives, we strive to purvey an exceptional product.

The word picnic dates back to the 18th century and is derived from the French word ‘pique-nique’, meaning ‘to eat an informal outdoor meal with family’. Charcuterie is the French word for a group of cold ready to eat meats. This includes salted, cured, smoked, cooked, brined and confit. A charcuterieis the overarching term for the place where meats, vegetables and fruits are preserved.

Craft is important to us. Traditional techniques have been used for centuries, and have cultural roots. These techniques take patience, and value every part of an animal. Crafting respects the time, effort and life given to raise and harvest the ingredients we use.

Food sovereignty and safety is equally significant to us. We think consumers should know how and where the food they eat is produced, and who produces it. We believe in directly supporting the production and harvest of local and ethically raised goods, and prioritize sourcing ingredients from Vancouver Island producers.

Grab the adventure, save the memories!

Christen Dokk Smith is a classically trained carver, living in Tofino, BC. His exquisite carving and sculpture is a culmination of old world craftmanship, west coast design, and contemporary innovation.

Hailing from Norway, Christen trained under master woodcarver Bjarte Aarset at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. During his four-year apprenticeship, Christen trained in the classical European way of carving, focusing on Viking, Medieval, Baroque, and Rococo carving. During this time he also learned the art of historical restoration and was commissioned to make many high-precision replicas for museums, churches, and other historical buildings.

In 2012 Christen relocated to the Vancouver Island, and made his home in Tofino, where he has been inspired by the indigenous carving traditions of the Tla-o-qui-aht.

Christen currently carves from Henry Nolla’s iconic Carving shed on North Chesterman beach near The Wickaninnish Inn.

The mission

Clayoquot Action is a Tofino-based conservation organization committed to protecting the biocultural diversity of Clayoquot Sound. Our goals are accomplished through public education, citizen research and monitoring, and advocacy. Clayoquot Action stands for democratic rights, indigenous rights and the rights of Mother Earth.

The vision

The Clayoquot Action vision is simple: to keep Clayoquot Sound clean and green for future generations, to preserve the diversity and integrity of the ecosystems, and to maintain and develop community and cultural richness.

The challenges facing the planet are interconnected—from the climate crisis and the extinction wave, to global market failure. Although these challenges are global by nature, the best place to bring about change is locally, at the community level.

It’s time to create a new story about the role that humans play on Earth, a story that shifts societal values from getting bigger to getting better, and promotes community and cooperation above competitive individualism. Humans must exercise our qualities of high intelligence, forward planning and moral judgment to create a cooperative and sustainable future for all.

We are such a small store that we have pre-selected only good books, and saved you the time of wading through the mountains of books that are out there.

We strive to assist people on their path through reading, selecting books that will answer questions, relate to what is happening or has just happened in someone’s life, or, to open new vistas, pose questions and lead onward to new outlooks.

Remember: reading is risky, because books can change opinions, shake up attitudes or give a person a whole new outlook on life.

Hello Nature Adventure Tours is a family-run business that was created to make a change in the industry and how tour companies operate. With an appreciation for this stunning part of the world that we inhabit and as passionate kayakers, there was a calling to share the magic of the West Coast with visitors who come here from all corners of the world. We’ve spent the last 20 years learning, listening, and connecting with the culture and people who have called these islands home and respectfully operate on Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations territory.

We believe in local partnerships and environmental stewardship to protect the land and waters we call home. Hello Nature is not just a tour company – we’re an education company whose mission is to help protect our home and environment by providing knowledgeable and respectful tours that honor the land we live on.

The team behind Hello Nature would love to have you join us on a kayaking trip, and discover the jaw-dropping beauty of the West Coast and it’s incredible biodiversity.

Coastal Charters has the keys to the seafood supermarket and are inviting you in! They are located in Tofino, British Columbia, and are ready to take you on a fishing adventure of a lifetime in this coldwater fishing paradise. Coastal Charters has been serving the east and west coasts of Vancouver Island for over 20 years and have become a marine and hospitality industry staple.

The vessel is a 28-foot Grady White offshore sport fishing boat powered by two 200 HP Yamaha engines, with a cruising speed of 25 knots. Fully equipped with the best safety, navigation and electronics that make it a safe and productive fishing platform no matter the conditions.

You can fish for salmon, halibut, snapper, various species of cod and dungeness crab. Pair up your fishing excursion with a relaxing trip to soak in the Hot Springs Cove to help rest those sore knuckles! Wildlife is commonplace as you journey from the fishing grounds to the natural geothermal springs located 20 nm north of Tofino. Your group will cruise by pods of dolphins, feeding grey whales, resident orcas, passing humpbacks, schools of sea otters, air borne bald eagles and a whole lot more. It is all part of the program. Whichever trip you choose, you will have the best guidance, the best fishing gear, and copious amounts of fun.

If you are taking a multi-day charter you will be pleased to know that your captain will hook you up with some of the best lodging options that Tofino has to offer – whether it’s camping, top-notch hotels, bed and breakfasts or other forms of accommodation. Just mention your preferences when booking!

Coastal Charters runs family friendly trips and they are able to accommodate beginners and seasoned anglers. With a bit of luck and a positive attitude, Coastal Charters returns to the barn at the end of each day loaded up with critters and chrome. And their inclusive packages only require you to obtain a fishing license and get out of bed in the morning!
