Forests and beaches healed my soul

Tofino is a magical place that really leaves a mark. Since I’m planning to leave North America by the end of the year, I knew that I probably wouldn’t prioritize traveling to Tofino in the future. So it was only right to do one last trip while I’m still on this side of the world. I’ve also been dreaming about taking Mika (my 4 year old pup) to Tofino for a while. There hasn’t been a good opportunity to take her in the past so my focus this trip really was just to show her the endless beaches and beautiful trails that I’ve fallen in love with over the years.

Itinerary

Day 1

Our day started super early as we wanted to catch the 8 am ferry to get to the island by 10 am. Our first stop was White Rabbit Coffee because we were already starting to feel our 5 am wake up. We originally wanted to go to Regard Coffee Roasters but since we were traveling on Easter Monday, it was closed ): White Rabbit was also such a cute café though—would recommend it for your road trip.
