⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amphitrite Lighthouse is an incredible spot, especially for storm watching! 🌊🌬️ The views of the wild Pacific are absolutely breathtaking, and you can really feel the power of the ocean from here. The waves crashing against the rugged rocks create an unforgettable experience. The trail leading to the lighthouse is well maintained, easy to walk, and surrounded by beautiful coastal scenery. Even on a stormy day, it felt safe and accessible. The lighthouse itself is small but iconic, and the setting makes it feel very special. If you’re in Ucluelet, this is a must-visit whether you want a peaceful walk on a calm day or to witness the dramatic stormy seas. Highly recommend bringing a good rain jacket and camera.

The path is well maintained and lined with plenty of benches to soak in the beautiful views. Some sections were a bit busy with other visitors mostly near scenic lookouts, but all in all quiet. I took a trailhead down to the beach and there were lots of little marine creatures in the tide pools. It was a great mix of forest, and shoreline. The best part was watching an eagle soar overhead.

Beautiful and iconic lighthouse with stunning coastal views. The walk to the lighthouse is short and scenic, making it easy for everyone to enjoy. Great spot for photos, watching waves crash against the rocks, and just taking in the ocean breeze. A must-visit if you’re exploring the Ucluelet area.

This historic lighthouse is located alongside a hiking trail with a picturesque ocean view. As part of the Wild Pacific Trail, you can follow the Lighthouse Loop, a 2.5km long circular trail around the peninsula on Barkley Sound in the Pacific Ocean. You can't get very close to the lighthouse, but the hiking trail along the coastline is beautifully laid out and rugged. The moss-covered trees and the view of the Pacific are impressive.

the views! So ruggedly beautiful. The Whistle buoy makes it's ominous sounds with the waves. The lighthouse is pretty cool, amazing walking trails. Some may not be suitable for unsteady people. We'll maintained, bathrooms available, easy parking & quick walk to lighthouse.

Really nice spot to visit! The rocks are incredibly rugged and the hike has many beautiful vistas. Great way to spend a couple hours in Ukee!

Arrived early before “official open” but they were there ready, parked first and walked around this incredible place before the crowds turned up. My first visit was 1973 with my parents. This was my 4th time. As always a beautiful spot

A truly spectacular trail, unmissable if you are going to Ucluelet. The trail is maintained to the highest standards, and there are views all the way round. The lighthouse has some info boards nearby, and you may be lucky and see some deer or eagles. It's just about the perfect walk for appreciating the beauty of this coastline. Enjoy!

A must do if you visiting the Ucluelet area! The loop is about 45 minutes and fairly easy. You get to see the sturdy lighthouse, the thunder-crashing waves, beautiful ocean views, and amazing forest vista's with bent trees bowing down to the ferocious winds that frequent this area. You will want to stop for every Vista to take a breath and decompress to forget the city ad enjoy the wild. Kids will love this walk, and adults will cherish the peace. The new interpretive centre near the lighthouse is worth a stop to engage with the experts there, and don't forget to put some coin into the donation box on the loop trail.

A must-visit in Ucluelet! We walked the Wild Pacific Trail to see the iconic Amphitrite Point Lighthouse, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The trail is well-maintained, peaceful, and filled with stunning ocean views at every turn. You can really feel the raw beauty of the West Coast—the sound of the waves crashing, the smell of the sea breeze, and the serenity of nature all around. The lighthouse itself is such a beautiful reward at the end of the walk, standing strong against the rugged coastline. Perfect spot for photos, reflection, and just appreciating the moment. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ucluelet—easy walk, unforgettable scenery! 🌊🌲✨

Spectacular trail with absolutely stunning views! The walk was easy and suitable for most people, and we found ourselves stopping at numerous viewpoints to admire the scenery. The weather was perfect, which made the experience even better. Definitely a trail worth doing if you’re in the area!

Must do hike when staying in Ucluelet! The Whale Parking Lot is within the loop of about 2,5km (and free, but not big). It's not too hard, little elevation. If you have a hard time walking uphill, start by going to the lighthouse and end at the bog. This way you'll be walking the steepest parts going downhill. You can choose to extend your route, by going to Terrace Beach for example (although I didn't find the beach very exciting). The rocks at the coast can be climbed at most places. This is fun! Take some time to let out you're inner child/rock climber. However, remember to be cautious of the waves.

A beautiful trail which can be a bit more challenging if you take the side trips to the beach. Stunning ocean views, an excellent loop describing the bog and plenty of places to rest while admiring the ocean.

This is a beautiful and very easy hike. Not easy to find long hikes in the area. Fantastic views the whole way round and benches all over for rests and taking in the views and enjoying the sounds of the ocean.

We went there for breakfast a few times while in Ucluelet. Great coffee and nice food options - highly recommended... PS: They have a vegan bagel with tempeh bacon on the menu. Haven't seen that in North America yet...

The regular drip coffee + English muffin is an absolute must! Got a great vibe inside and the food and service is great. Came here twice for the exact same thing and it was just as good the second time! Bonus for a bathroom that actually looks pretty nice as well!

Good coffee and a cozy atmosphere. The Morning Glory muffin is really tasty — definitely worth trying if you stop by.

Had an incredible panini sandwich here. Definitely worth stopping for lunch. The bread was excellent. Ham top notch. Coffee was also great. Stop here for a bite to eat. Loved it.

Chill atmosphere. Bit of a wait due to being so busy. Had gluten friendly options that shared the same oven as all other food. Great coffee.

Paper cups in the café? The cappuccino was way too hot and the milk foam too stiff — others do this better ;) The photos on Google promise more.

The place was packed and for good reason! Dont worry about that line up because their staff move through those line ups with ease. We stopped here quite a few times on our stay. Great walking distance from the Wildwood Inn. Breakfast sandwiches and coffees were really great and hit the spot. Staff were great too.

I recently tried the fish and chips here after hearing some good things. The portion size was generous, and everything was served hot and fresh. However, I found the fish to be a bit too crispy for my liking—almost over-crispy, which took away from the flavor and tenderness of the fish itself. The chips were decent, but overall, the dish didn’t quite live up to the expectations. Not bad, but not particularly memorable either.

So good! Relaxed atmosphere, good music and even better food. Fish and chips was some of the best we had, not a heavy batter but so crispy and the fish was ling cod todays catch! The prawns are equally as fantastic!

Really fresh fish and chips! The fish is caught daily, and you can taste the difference. If you’re not a big eater, start with just one piece—the portions are generous, and the fish is huge. They don’t hold back on the fries either! Downside of this was it is bit too much greasy. The coleslaw was a must to wash down those grease.

Relaxed vibe just steps from the main road. Cod fillet fish and chips were tender and flaky, cooked exactly as ordered. They cook it fresh so it takes a few minutes to get it ready. Great spot in the heart of town with indoor and outdoor seating.

Food truck serving fresh fish and chips. The batter was nice and light. The fries tasted like home made fries. Once salted the fries were great. The portion size was very generous. Being from Quebec, I was not impressed with the poutine, wrong cheese, wrong gravy, not approved. The plain fries are great just by themselves. Come early and be prepared to wait.

Superb fish and chips!! Not overly battered and the homemade sauce was exceptional! Great sized portion left me full for the day!

The fish comes out of a food truck (although there is indoor seating available) and is fresh, crispy and tasty... Plus, lots of locals seem to come here - so thats another good sign!

We booked a stay for one night and we loved it so we decided to stay an extra night. The lady at the front desk upgraded our room so we got to stay in a bigger room upstairs with a loft king bed upstairs and two queen downstairs. The view is beautiful! My only concerns was that one lady I spoke to over the phone when I asked for new towels and garbage bags, she sounded rude and not too happy about it. Also, the rooms were not sound proof so you could hear people next door. It would’ve been nice to have utensils/cutlery and a small table so you could use it to play card games at night and takeout food to bring back to the rooms and have somewhere to eat. We had our dogs with us so we ordered take out and brought back the food to our room. Other than that our overall stay was great. We loved that our dogs were able to stay here as well and the rooms were very clean. Beautiful view, great location and affordable. We would come back.

The location is great. Other than the location the hotel is very basic. Definitely not a 4 star. The bedsheets was all crumpled and did not look as it had been washed or ironed. When we questioned the reception staff she reassured us that they have been washed but not ironed even though we said it didn’t look or feel fresh she did not offer to replace the bedsheets. Photo attached. Also, The hotel has not restaurant or any facility for a meal. If you do arrive late, there is little hope to find food in the area.

So, we ended up getting upgraded to a loft suite, and it was amazing. Spacious, with stunning views of the harbour, where we could watch the tides change. The king bed in the loft was a delight, and we enjoyed having the extra beds on the main floor where we could relax with our dog and watch tv. Speaking of our dog, the property was massive and we had fun walking the green space and harbour. Even though the building was an older structure, we didn’t have any issues with sound transfer and gave the lodge a cozy cabin vibe. It also was conveniently located in town, with cafes and shops within a 10 minute walk and other outdoor activities a short drive away. I really want to express my heartfelt thanks to the staff, especially the concierge, who went above and beyond, helping us extend our stay since we were loving Ucluelet so much, and making it work for us to stay in our same room so it wouldn’t be too disruptive to our dog. We would definitely stay here again! Comfy accommodations, beautiful views, helpful staff, all in a cool structure. Thanks so much!

I stayed for 2 nights with my sisters (1 visiting from Ontario) snd we had a great time. The room was clean and wonderful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was the perfect place to stay between Ucluelet and Tofino to be able to explore both places. The visiting deer in the morning was a nice touch.

Deserves 5 stars!!!! They are lovely and had a hot towel at the front. First time I was here they upgraded me to a suite for no extra charge, I am super impressed. We work in Tofino while we are here but choose to stay in Ukee because of this place!! Must stay. Is also ocean front, most of the rooms!

It's an older but well maintained place to stay. The rooms are clean, but they do not provide daily room service and the towels are a bit worn- mine had a hole in it. It's location is near the centre of town. Parking is away from the rooms and may be difficult for someone with disabilities to navigate.

We stayed here at the end of July with our friends staying from the UK. I know this area is expensive in the summer but this place was not worth the money in any way. Agreed with other comments that the place was extremely dated, there was no upkeep of the building or rooms and you had to basically beg to get your room cleaned. The bathroom was atrocious. The shower squealed when you turned on the water, the shower curtain smelled of pee and was grossly discoloured and the shower head was broken off the wall. Considering this cost $2000 for 3 nights, this is ridiculous. The only good part about it was the location is good. Other than that it is more basic than a motel 6 with even less hospitable customer service. In addition there was an issue with my Expedia booking and I was charged for a second room I had cancelled previously. It took so much back and forth and fighting with them before Expedia finally advocated for me and reversed it. Please do not choose to stay here. There are so many better places that would feel like your hard earned money is going to something worthwhile

One of the visitor centers that still has the old buildings being used. Loved the rustic style. Highly recommend stopping here for information if it is your first time coming to the area. Staff are quite friendly. Parking: good Washrooms: one stall each but open 24 hours Location: right by the Ucluelet Tofino junction Old growth trees around the centre

This is our second time on this trail. A must stop for visitors. Beautiful views. Also stop by the table with the staff who are really knowledgeable about the history of the trail, local fauna & flora.

tofino has done it right... away from the buzzling city life. the ocean breeze calms your spirit down. everyrhing here is so laid back. no big commercial stores or establishments... yes! they kept everything local. no mcdonalds no timmies, etc.

What a waste of time on Wednesday at 1400. No info whatsoever except folders. If you want to know more go to Tofino visitor center the aboriginal said. Eitherput knowledge and friendly people here or closeit altogether. Some tourist before us also weren't helped.

Nice spot with rv length parking, sometimes you can catch a food truck in the parking lot or across the street. Nice merch selection but not always staff available to purchase.

grab your national park pass // park canada discovery pass

Great place for a pit stop, you can buy pass for the Pacific Rim Park here, and the staff here are friendly and helpful.

We got in at 6pm with a group of four no wait on a Sunday - lucky us ! The food was all really good we ordered chicken wings, Caesar salad, lamb, and three different burgers. Everyone was happy and the portions were very generous I had to take half my lamb home. Very busy place for tourists and locals alike. Friendly staff at the door. We did have to ask for napkins three times and didn’t have the warmest service but clearly this place is always busy and the staff are working extra hard to keep it moving. Overall an easy place to stop where you can count on a good meal.

The dishes are excellent! The server is so nice too. Fair price & the outdoor seats are great in summer.

We came here late after arriving in Ucluelet. The staff were friendly and polite. The food was good and I really enjoyed the calamari. I would order them again.

The food was good and the restaurant cozy! If you’re hungry, don’t go for the salmon as the portion was rather small - the Salmon pasta and the burger were amazing, though! However, the wait was quite long in the evening (around 30 minutes at 7:30 pm).

We stopped in for lunch on a somewhat chilly, rainy and windy day. This was a very homey place that helped take the chill off and set the day up to be great! I had the Crispy Chicken Burger topped with bacon. Starting with the pickle on top that was crispy and tasty this was a delight. The chicken was breaded and cooked to perfection and the toppings rounded it out really well. It was big enough to feel good about but not too big to feel like I ate too much. I swapped in a cup of Seafood Chowder and that hit the spot perfectly! It warmed me up like a hug from my grandma. The staff were warm and friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Food was so good. I came last year so when I came back this year I knew I had to eat there again. There has been a small wait both times but nothing significant.

Had lunch at Cedar Grill and the food seriously delivered. The burger was juicy, cheesy, and stacked just right - absolute perfection. The seafood chowder? Creamy, rich, and loaded with flavour. Not the warmest service, but the food more than made up for it. Worth the visit if you’re craving something hearty and satisfying.

If you're in the area and find yourself waiting to get in, then please wait. It's worth it, I promise. There's a line up for a reason. The place is small and there isn't enough seating, but the wait is worth it when you taste it. It's a family owned and run restaurant and the care and attentiveness shows. My party and I tried several different dishes and neither of them disappointed. I loved the atmosphere created by the host and staff and the food definitely hit the spot. Thank you guys for a very pleasurable dining experience!

Very nice breakfast place that is warm and inviting, with exceptional attentive service cits clear that theccooks are professionally trained as their attention to detail in the food and the presentation is outstanding. We had the Heartwood breakfast and decaf coffee. The smashed potatoes were yummy, and the eggs were done just right. The fruit - apple, orange, and melon was fresh tasting. The protein was delicious. The toast was done just right. The place filled up very quickly but was a good vibe. Will definitely come back here.

Heartwood in Ukee is a fantastic choice for breakfast or brunch. The Salmon Benedict is bursting with flavor, and the addition of mustard seeds brings everything together beautifully. It's rich, tangy, and truly unforgettable. Another standout dish is the Fried Chicken and French Toast, which offers an incredible combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors that had us finishing our plates. Be prepared to come hungry! The portions are generous, and the bold flavors are impressive. The restaurant itself is charming and cozy, with a patio out back that’s perfect for sunny mornings in Ukee. The staff is delightful! Funny, helpful, and genuinely attentive. While you might have to wait for a table, that only reflects the quality of the food. It's worth it!

From the moment we walked in, Ian and Heather made us feel right at home. Their warm hospitality set the tone for a beautiful meal. The food? Absolutely incredible—every bite was thoughtful, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were attentive, friendly, and clearly take pride in what they do. We left with full bellies, happy hearts, and big smiles. Our whole family felt cared for and satisfied. Thank you, Heartwood Kitchen, for making our time in Ucluelet so special. We'll be back!

The food was soo good I had ate everything then scraped the plate clean! The house hotsauce is the most flavourful sauce I've ever tried, not the most spicy, the most flavourful. It was so good it could be drank like juice from a bottle. The chef is professional and plating dishes better then most Michelin chefs I have seen. This resturant alone is worth the trip from Ontario here. We were finished and I was scraping the plate clean when they came to take them away! The best brekfeast place in Canada hands down with no question. A must try for anyone able to make the trip.

today is my first time here and there’s a lot of guests waiting outside to be seated. the staff told me the waiting time is about 25 mins but later we wait for 50 mins, i think they have a lot of room to improve their service in this aspect. anyway, the food is very tasty and i particular love the fried chicken , friend toast and fried bacon., sure will come again .

We had a lunch at Heartwood Kitchen. We had to wait a few minutes since it was quite busy, but this was well worth it. I ordered the chicken with sweet toast, which was the perfect combination of sweet en spicy. It was very tasty and well priced. My wife had the Huevos Rancheros tortilla which was delicious. The service was really kind and thoughtful. The only downpart was that our plates were empty. We both said to each other; "We could eat here again tomorrow or even tonight. Would definitely recommend this place! If we would ever visit Ucluelet again, we will definitely come back.

I only stopped by for the icecream. But definitely well worth the price. Scoops were very large. Not a huge huge amount of flavours but a good selection of the staples flavours. Ladies working were very friendly too

Some of the best food I’ve ever had. And the people are so nice it is unbelievable. Very cheap and local and perfect for a nice rest spot

Hands down the best smoothies I’ve ever had… definitely recommend the Ukee Ukee and the Tropical Mango smoothies. You will not be disappointed.

Great spot for coffee and baked goods. We didn't have the opportunity for other menu items, but given our experience, I wouldn't hesitate.

Fair prices for very good scoops. One of the best I’ve tried in the town and would be coming back anytime i visit.

It's a beautiful family cafe and boutique, next to the harbour, with a very cool, calm, and warm atmosphere. We tasted their very good traditional breakfast, with delicious Chai Latte and hot chocolate. We were also tempted to by their greedy chocolate muffins. It was delicious ! The people and the service are very nice ! I highly recommand this place, and I'm looking forward to going back there. Thank you again for that great experience in Ukee !

Quick ice cream stop and shop for some nick nacks. Great service, good selection and nice vibes.

Ukee Poke - one of the best stops on our honeymoon. We were recommended to stop here by some of our friends in Seattle. We instantly knew we were at a great spot by the atmosphere and very friendly and welcoming staff. We ended up trying poke for the first time and were blown away. They have so many different options for creating your own poke bowl. Not to mention the best smoothies we have ever had. They have the freshest, most refreshing smoothies. All the food is at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be spreading the word back in Seattle and returning on our next trip to Vancouver Island.

Ukee Poke is a solid spot for fresh and tasty poke bowls. The ingredients are fresh, portions are generous, and the flavors are really well balanced. Staff are friendly and service is quick, making it perfect for a casual meal after a day out. Definitely a go-to if you’re craving poke in Ucluelet.

Such a hidden gem! My friend and I arrived Friday afternoon and were instantly blown away. The weather was perfect, the vibe was peaceful, and the poke bowls — so fresh and flavorful! We were lucky enough to catch live music on Friday night which made the experience even better. The campground is in a perfect spot, right between Ucluelet and Tofino — super convenient for exploring both. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a chill, west coast stay with amazing food and good energy!

A great lower cost camping option 30 min from Tofino! We stayed 3 nights. Outdoor shower was hot. The bathrooms were mostly clean. The fairy lights around the bathrooms are left on at night which made us feel safer. You can hear the highway from the tent, but we expected that and had no issues as not much traffic overnight. No car access to the tent sites but this wasn't an issue for us. Only caveat is that given this is a lower cost camping option, it's likely to attract students. There was a large group having a rowdy party one night when we were there which dominated the communal space.

Very beautiful and generous portions! Ordered the Poke Bowl with salmon and tuna and the Chicken and Tuna Tacos. Super fresh definitely could share the poke bowl with someone for a light quick lunch.

Generous portions, fresh ingredients and so so tasty. Ukee poke always hits the spot! First place I stop at everytime I visit Tofino.

Came in for poke bowls on our first night in Ucluelet and it did not disappoint. Lots of options and easy to order. The fish was fresh. The rice really well seasoned. You get a really nice portico for the price. Overall really good.
