Meares Island "Big Tree Trail"
Meares Island - the gateway to the old-growth temperate rainforest of Clayoqout Sound. Gracing the view from Tofino, Meares Island invites visitors to discover its ancient secrets.
A short water taxi trip by open-air Zodiac through the harbour islands, connects you to the Tribal Park of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations and the 'Big Tree Trail'. This 1 ½ hour experience allows you to walk among the old-growth trees on a hand crafted boardwalk.
Along the boardwalk there are magnificent old-growth trees up to 1600 years old. Meares Island is a living example of a true west coast forest with giant Cedar, Spruce and Hemlock trees underlain with an undergrowth of salal bushes, moss and ferns.
