Storm Watching

Storm watching in Western Canada is an epic way to witness nature’s raw power. Along the rugged shores of Vancouver Island, from Tofino to Ucluelet, massive Pacific waves thunder against the coastline, and fierce winds whip through ancient forests.

Between November and March, storm season transforms the coast into a dramatic spectacle, attracting thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. Watch 20-foot waves from the warmth of a seaside cabin, or pull on rain gear and feel the energy of the storm at the water’s edge.
