rainforest trail

We enjoyed this and we have seen several rainforests in the Pacific Northwest.Parents should be aware that there are no railings for little ones and it is not suitable for wheel chairs due to the stairs.Signage was not clear on the railing/wheelchair issue.

We went to the Rain forest trail B loop. The beginning of the trail was a relatively young resorted forest and about 1/4 into the forest it gradually merged into the old forest. The narrow Boardwalk was quite neat, elevated from the forest floor and had many interpreter signage do along. The walk was about 15 minutes in the forest, little creeks running along the bottom of the allow, very denied and natural. Highly recommended!

This rainforest is beautiful and well worth the hour or so it takes to make the tour. There are lots of huge trees and interesting plants. The pink adirondack chairs at the monarch tree were very interesting. We had a great hike. I expected trolls to pop out from behind trees at any moment!

The trails are well maintained and labeled. Thanks to this planning, the forest is not destroyed by folks walking in areas other than the paths.

Sizes of the trees were amazing to consider how old they were. Nice to hike on the boardwalk, makes the trek easier. Terrain would be treacherous if not. Found it to be very peaceful and serene.

A nice easy walk through the rainforest of the Pacific Rim National Park. We only walked the one trail (it was pouring) but it was a great walk along the boardwalk the entire way. Highly recommended

On a rainy day there's nothing better to do than go on a rainforest trail. It's fun to walk on the boardwalks and see how the mosses & lichens have covered everything. Beautiful ferns too. There are 2 short loops with interpretive signs.

Stunning colossal native trees. Difficult terrain and very wet but well worth the effort. Not always clear where the path is due to scarce signs but a " must do" trip.

This is a short (about 2 km) trail between Tofino and Ucluelet. The entire trail is on a boardwalk, since the downed timber would make it difficult to walk and being above it so you can see the whole area is a plus. There are quite a few steps, and the boardwalk can be quite slippery, so I would not recommend it for anyone with mobility problems. There were plenty of signs for those who aren't familiar with the native vegetation. We only saw a few birds and small animals, but could hear more birds than we saw. A very pleasant and impressive walk.

Something you will not easily find anywhere else... Short and well maintained trail in the Canadian rain forest. Caution: it can be slippery

Beautiful rainforest, trail was very easy and had a lot of information about it along the walk. It is a short trail so take your time to enjoy it. Not much else on the trail besides the trees and info posts but it was worth doing. The only thing that was kind of a put off was that you had to pay for parking even though there were hardly any cars there and it was quite expensive.

Walked part of the wild pacific trail on a sunny September day. The sea fog kept rolling in adding to the atmospheric surroundings. The paths were well marked and the section of walk that we did starting at Ucluelet was not too taxing and gave great views of the sea and rocky coves. You can do a 'loop walk' which takes around 30 mins or if you feel adventurous you can continue along the main trail. The walk takes you through rainforest with a stunning selection of trees, root formations, ferns and mosses....a fantastic experience.

We completed Trail B and found the boardwalk an easy hike, a little slippery in some places due to rain.Some steps but bearable.Very beautiful scenery, however a little eerily quiet.

From the moment you enter the trail you realize that this area is really old!! The boardwalk is well maintained and the writeups are very informative. There is one cedar in particular that is about 800 years old! ! If you are on your way to Tofino you must stop here!!

Great boardwalk trail through the stunningly beautiful rain forest. Rain didn't deter us from doing both loops, which provide informative insights into the rainforest as wildlife habitat and ecosystem.
