Immerse yourself in the heart of a true West Coast wonderland on this invigorating hike. Towering trees and rugged rock formations frame the path. The trail, though technical at times, offers a rewarding journey through diverse terrain, keeping hikers engaged and energized.
During the summer months, the forest comes alive with vibrant greenery and the soothing sounds of nature. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy, casting dappled patterns along the trail. As an option, hikers can take part in a “forest retreat”—a moment of reflection to fully absorb the magic of the surroundings. Whether moving steadily along the trail or pausing to connect with the serenity of the wilderness, this hike provides a truly immersive outdoor experience.
After your invigorating hike, be whisked away to a historic local pub, renowned for some of the best craft beer on Vancouver Island. Enjoy delicious light fare, a refreshing pint, and connect with fellow hikers, sharing stories and laughter.

Great company! The walk was beautiful with many spots to stop and enjoy the vista. The pace was set to match our walking with many choices along the way (with recommendations) regarding the path to be taken. There was a lot of explanations, laughs and general good time. The guides were well prepared and fun to be with for the afternoon. Would highly recommend this trip. Book it now!

The couple who guided us were very nice. They were extremely friendly and they guided us through the track very knowledgeable about the plant and trees showed us the best trails. Give us frequent brakes as needed. They also took us to a very nice pub afterwards and we really enjoyed our high recommend this Tour.
