Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Meares Island as you walk along the Big Tree Trail, a boardwalk that winds through an ancient forest of towering Spruce, Hemlock, and giant Cedar trees. Discover trees that are over a thousand years old and measure up to twenty feet across, creating a sense of wonder and connection to nature unlike any other. Learn about the rich ecosystem of the old-growth forest as your guides share fascinating insights about the flora and fauna that thrive among these ancient giants. Explore the serene surroundings at your own pace, capturing memorable photos and enjoying the quiet majesty of one of the most remarkable forests in Clayoquot Sound.
Explore beyond the boardwalk on the full loop trail, where the path returns to natural forest terrain, offering a more immersive hiking experience for those wearing sturdy boots. Experience the gentle crossing by Zodiac to reach the island, taking in the calm coastal waters and scenic vistas along the way. Discover the importance of planning ahead, including checking minimum fare requirements and making arrangements for pets, as dogs are not permitted but kennels are available in Tofino. Learn how to pace your hike for a lasting experience, with options to complete the shorter boardwalk walk or the full extended loop for a deeper journey through the ancient forest.
