The trail was well marked. the view fabulous and it was good to get out and walk on a sunny Saturday. Nothing too difficult, we were a varied range of ages from 12 to 80 yrs. so we all made it. Will do it again. More

This trail is sheltered by huge trees but has lookouts with benches every few yards. We took great pictures. At the end of the trail there is a lighthouse, pretty. More

The Wild Pacific Trail is a must when in Ucluelet/Tofino. The trail is very well maintained and quite easy to walk. To walk within a rain forest on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other is quite the experience. We were lucky enough to encounter many forms of ocean life. Starfish, urchins, sea otters banging clams against their... More

We only had two brief rain showers while on the trail. We loved this trail. The Lighthouse Loop is the best. The trail is... More

Great trail which can be walked in its entirety or split into three smaller sections. Paths nicely surfaced to make walking and navigation safe and easy but still passes through areas that make it feel wild. We had great weather so were lucky with fantastic sea views and spotted a couple of Eagles soaring on the late spring thermals. Thoroughly... More
