April to June
This is one of natures’ most splendid times of year. Sunnier days bring a warmer coastal climate and one of the best places to shake off the winter blues. Visitors return to escape the bustle of the city and reconnect with nature (while others are often still in the middle of Winter!). Life on the West Coast begins to awaken; herring spawn, gray whales grace our coastline, bears come out of winter hibernation, baby eagles take their first flight, trees bud, and flowers begin to blossom. Spring time has arrived in paradise. Click here to see what’s happening.

September to November
For those looking for a quiet Vancouver Island getaway with the benefit of post-summer season savings, the mild weather of Ucluelet in the fall is absolute perfection.

Since the weather on average remains quite nice throughout the fall, people are apt to take long walks on the Wild Pacific Trail, go on sight-seeing tours and soak in the beauty of the wild West Coast of Vancouver Island in a calm and serene manner.

November to March
Storm Watching is a major highlight of the year and the perfect time to cozy up by the fire and enjoy a nice glass of wine after experiencing one of the 10-15 mega-storms that batter the West Coast each Winter season. Nothing is more exhilarating than watching the raw power of mother nature unfold during a winter storm safely, the experience may include swells and waves that are mesmerizing, but don’t stand too close (do not stand on rocks) along the Wild Pacific Trail. Bring your ‘west coast tuxedo’ (aka rain gear)…and pack for all seasons (we can get rain, clouds and sun all in one glorious day!). This time of year is also an excellent time to travel as rates for accommodations are at their yearly low. Come to unplug and reconnect in the majestic solitude of the west coast.
