Tofino Harbour Live Cam – Tofino Sea Kayaking, British Columbia

Live from the waterfront of Tofino Sea Kayaking, this camera watches over Tofino Harbour on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It is one of the busiest little harbours on the coast: during the day you may see kayak groups setting out on day trips, multi-day tours or rentals, alongside water taxis, float planes, whale-watching boats, fishing vessels and the occasional industrial ship.

Tofino sits at the tip of the Esowista Peninsula, surrounded by the islands and inlets of Clayoquot Sound, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its old-growth rainforest. Just south lies the Long Beach section of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, famous for surfing and storm watching.

Highlights to watch for

• Float planes taking off and landing on the water
• Kayakers paddling toward Meares Island and the sheltered channels of the sound
• Changing tides, mist and dramatic winter storms

Summer brings the busiest traffic on the water, while winter is storm season, when big Pacific swells and rain sweep the coast. Early mornings are often calm and misty, the perfect time for paddlers.
