Advise for first time water wanderers in Tofino
Getting around on the waters surrounding Tofino can be complicated and dangerous if you are unfamiliar with the area. Luckily, there are many water transportation options available to visitors and locals.
Local Water Taxi
This is your best bet if you are planning a hike on the Meares Island Big Tree Trail. A water taxi is also a good idea if you need a drop-off with your kayaks somewhere around the "inside waters".Covered Water Taxi
If you need a ride to the Tofino Hot Springs or the Wild Side Trail on Flores, then you will likely need to jump aboard a covered aluminum water taxi. There are many different people who run these taxis – your best bet is to wander down to the First Street Dock near the Tofino Hostel and ask when the next boat to your destination is leaving.Paddle with a Tofino Sea Kayak Guide
While this isn't nearly as time efficient as a water taxi, it is certainly a feel-good trip that will be filled with wonder and awe. Have a look at your various Tofino sea kayaking options and choose a package that is right for you.
