- Sombrio Beach - Sombrio is one of Vancouver Island’s most beautiful beaches. This beach, with its pebbles and small stones, is ideal for rock hounding and surf watching, but the best feature is hidden. A guide can lead visitors to a hidden waterfall by following a small creek to a breathtaking sandstone canyon, culminating in a beautiful and refreshing waterfall. This is often the highlight of the trip for many. Additionally, if the tide permits, there is an opportunity to enter and pass through a sea cave.
- Coastal Kitchen Cafe - Lunch will be enjoyed at this wonderful cafe, providing a chance for some downtime, a bathroom break, and Wi-Fi access between adventures. The cafe also offers a small selection of books and souvenirs.
- Botanical Beach Provincial Park - Botanical Beach is an incredible shale-covered beach with sandstone tide pools teeming with colorful ocean creatures. During the summer, the intertidal zone is alive with activity in these pools, while in the winter, powerful waves crash on the shore, forming sandstone waves that tower along the beach.
- Avatar Grove - A remarkable grove of ancient Cedars over 1000 years old. This awe-inspiring sight is just a short 30-minute walk, allowing visitors to pass through giants and reach “The Gnarliest Tree” in Canada. Visitors will be fully immersed in the old growth, and the guide will highlight the importance of protecting these fragile and rare ecosystems. Port Renfrew is renowned for its Big Trees, and logging is a significant industry, making these groves quite rare. Those who visit are fortunate to witness such a rare and pristine sight.
- Harris Creek Sitka Spruce - This 1000-year-old giant Sitka Spruce is a mere 2-minute walk from the road, yet it is a beautiful and peaceful sight. This magnificent tree has stood by the river since the Vikings explored the seas and began landing in North America.
