2025 trips in B.C.

Big Tree Trail, Meares Island, unceded Tla-o-qui-aht territory

If you’re interested in visiting the legendary Big Tree Trail through the old-growth forests on Meares Island, in Clayoquot Sound, and giving something back to nature at the same time, this three-night trip might be for you. You’ll hike moderate distances, lift and carry wood, build boardwalks and use light hand tools to trim undergrowth and maintain trails. You’ll car camp at the Bella Pacifica campground in Tofino and make day trips by boat to Meares.

Wildside Trail, Flores Island, unceded Ahousaht territory

If you’re up for some spectacular ancient forest and coastal views alongside some hard yet gratifying outdoor work, take a three-night trip to Ahousaht village on Flores Island, in Clayoquot Sound. You’ll hike approximately 11 kms for two of the days with day packs, water and light hand tools and trim undergrowth to clear the trails. You’ll take a boat from Tofino to Flores and hike five minutes to the community hall where you’ll sleep at night on sleeping mats on the floor.
