Clayoquot Sound

Clayoquot Sound is an area of spectacular beauty, steeped in a rich natural and cultural heritage. Natural wonders including unique flora and fauna, pristine old-growth forests, secluded sandy beaches, uninhabited islands and churning tidal rapids can all be found here. Inhabited for thousands of years by Nuu-chahnulth people, most of Clayoquot Sound looks much like it did in the late 1700s.

While travelling in Clayoquot Sound, it is important to have a sense of story. The connection of Nuu-chah-nulth peoples to this land is a vital, driving force. It is equally important for visitors to respect this connection. The parks in Clayoquot Sound lie in the traditional territories of the Hesquiaht, Ahousaht and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations. Access to designated Indian Reserves is prohibited unless prior permission has been granted.
