Day 2 Meditate, Hike, Relax
Rise and shine to the sounds and smells of the ocean next to your room. Begin the day with meditation on the beach, followed by a healthful breakfast and locally-roasted java. Once you’re nourished, you’ll embark on a quick boat ride to Meares Island to hike the Big Tree Trail, chock-full of old-growth forest and home to one of the largest and oldest trees on the west coast, known as the “Hanging Garden.”
Back in Tofino, you’ll have some free time and can choose to participate in a plant-based cooking class for dinner. After dinner, indulge in a calming yoga practice on the beach. End the day around the campfire, admiring the skies as the stars appear.

After surfing, take a long walk on the aptly named Long Beach, appreciating the mystical west coast nature. Return to the hotel for a dinner feast, then challenge yourself to an Ashtanga yoga class. Rest your muscles in the outdoor hot tub tonight.

Day 4 Optional Hike or Surf and Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga
This morning, you’ll welcome the day with sun salutations on the beach, then over breakfast, you can decide which activities to do before this afternoon. You can either take another guided hike or rent a board and head out into the water to try surfing on your own (or both!). After lunch, test out your balance by attempting to do yoga on stand-up paddleboards. Remember, your poses don’t have to be perfect, and you will probably fall a few times.
Enjoy your last meal together in the evening, then engage in a group circle meditation and goal-sharing session to complete the tour.

What travellers say
Stephen L.
I’ve been using 10Adventures route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10Adventures made that happen.
Melinda S.
I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!
Mikael V.
My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!
Alexandra D.
Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!
Eric S.
Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.
Valeria R.
I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!
Isabella N.
I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!
Erika S.
I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
