Storm Watching in Vancouver Island: Quick notes for unlimited fun during your trip.

Vancouver Island storm watching

If you’re looking for a unique winter vacation experience, book a getaway in Ucluelet or Tofino between November and February. In the winter nature unleashes its frenzied temper in fierce storms that batter the shoreline. Huge waves, explosions of foaming white spray, thundering surf thrashing rain driven by winds that gust to 100 knots...to witness one of these spectacular, dramatic performances is a truly exhilarating experience!

As a spectator sport, storm watching has soared in popularity. Visitors don weather appropriate gear (frequently supplied by accommodation properties) and venture out to the designated-safe viewing points along the coastline, including Amphitrite Point on the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet. Or, if you like, you can cozy up by the fire and watch the natural theatrics from the comfort of an oceanside inn or resort. Storm watching packages are available and can be combined with options such as wildlife viewing, hiking and luxurious, stress-busting spa treatments.
