The best way to make the most of your fall stay in Tofino is by seeking insights from the people who live here. At the Lodge, our friendly Guest Services Agents are always happy to share their favorite spots, activities and cafés. To ensure you experience the highlights of Tofino, our Supervisor Teagan and her team have curated a handpicked itinerary just for you.

The end of summer brings the promise of brisk, cozy nights, the patter of rain on the roof, and a comforting cup of tea to accompany a good book. Fall in Tofino is just as lovely as it sounds. If you're looking for a getaway, now is the time to save—our "Become a Friend, Feel Like Family" special offers 30% off your nightly rate for a 5-night stay or more.

Personally, I love this time of year in Tofino. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience everything the Pacific Northwest is known for: grey mists swathing the trees, cold winds, and the satisfying warmth after a day spent wandering the wet shores of the Pacific. Here’s what I would do if I were staying in Tofino for 5 nights, taking full advantage of our "Become a Friend, Feel Like Family" special.
