Start the day off with check-in at Seaside Adventures, then board one of our vessels for a half-hour boat ride from Tofino and travel 15 km's north to the remote, aboriginal (First Nations) Village of Marktosis. The village is located in the northern portion of Clayoquot Sound on Flores Island, which is the largest island in the sound. From here we walk through part of the village to the start of the Wild Side trail. Our trail takes us through 16 km's of pristine wilderness and spectacular Pacific Ocean beaches. The beach's range from quiet serene coves to rugged surf pounded beaches. The trail is made up of hand hewn cedar boardwalk, which connects 8 beautiful white sandy beaches.
While on the Wildside trail we will be traveling by the summer feeding bays of the Grey Whale and a multitude of wild life and bird life, which lives in the old growth forest. Our naturalist guide's are optional and take pride in sharing explanations of local flora and fauna. Also the guides are well-versed in areas that are rich with native history and folklore. For the more energetic hiker they can continue on an additional 4-km's to the top of Mt. Flores, which has a height of 3,000 feet or 970 meters. The views from there are Breath- taking and second to none.
Along the way to and from Tofino, stops will be made for the local marine wild life, eagle and their aeries, Great Blue Herons, seals, sea-lions and spot the porpoise, which are abundant in the area. Things to bring: walking shoe's, small nap-sac, refreshments and lunch. Lunches can be provided for a nominal fee. Cameras are a must.
