Tofino Rainforest Trail

The Tofino Rain Forest Trail consists of two separate loops. Although both pass through the same type of forest, each trail has its own distinctive character. While the routes are not difficult the boardwalk may be slippery in sections – please watch your step while hiking these trails.

The boardwalk of the Rain Forest Trail goes into the heart of the forest.

The Rain Forest Trail has interpretive plaques that explain the stages of a rain forest, the life within it and it’s importance to the planet. There are some very big trees on both routes. Information about the life of a rainforest is found along the trail.

Tofino Rainforest Trail Loop B

Distance: 1 km loop

The Rain Forest Trail Loop B travels through stages of a rain forest’s growth. This route is fairly gentle with one or two stair sections. The apparent chaos of the rainforest creates a variety of living space for plants and animals. Each inhabitant interacts in a web of life that, left undisturbed, will continue to sustain the forest.

Get immersed in the beauty of the rain forest. Big trees and lots of green. Interpretive plaques tell the story along the way. Ferns and strawberry runners dot the forest floor. Fallen trees provide nutrients for plants and animals. Shade and sun dapple the rain forest. Moss grows on the trees in the dark forest and hangs down from the branches.
