Travelling the Wild Pacific Trail today, an inspiration from nature
The voice of nature is very strong on this trail, if we listen to it. observe the ecosystems that can be seen on the trail: Coastal forests, marshes, mud flats and the various animals that thrive here if we give them space. Along the trail you can observe the flora and fauna of this wild coastline, always with due respect for the traditional territory of the Ucluelet First Nation.
This 8 kilometre coastal trail can offer a great nature experience

We reach Ucluet just before entering the town, this wood culture discovered by a local artist
Around 250 Aboriginals live in Ucluelet today, out of a total population of around 1700.
The Europeans who came to the region were fur traders who mainly wanted trade contacts in order to obtain coveted otter skins. After these were exterminated, they hunted seals, whales and sea otters.
The Presbyterian Church built a mission house and a school.
In 1898 there was the first doctor in the village.
The Canadian Pacific Railway maintained a small cargo boat that travelled to Victoria three times a month.
In 1903, a whaling station was built in Barkley Sound.
There was also a lighthouse and a telegraph station.
Industrial fishing began around 1914.
In the 1920s, several Japanese fishing families came to Ucluelet. By 1930, there were 60 Japanese and only 18 white families living in the village.
For a long time, Ucluelet lived from the timber and fishing industry, especially salmon and tuna.
In the 1980s and especially the 1990s, tourism developed very strongly, to which the establishment of the Pacific Rim National Park contributed significantly.

After the excursions to the bears and sea eagles, things are now getting a little cosier and safer again.
Today we reach Ucluelet, a town on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The name of the town is derived from the term for a "safe harbour" in the language of the indigenous population. The anglicised version of the name of this First Nation gave Ucluelet its name.
Originally, the population lived from fishing, but since the 1990s ecotourism has become increasingly important in the region. Special offers include whale watching and hikes in the primeval forests of the temperate rainforest ecosystem in Clayoquot Sound. The 20 km long, continuous stretch of beach between Ucluelet and neighbouring Tofino is part of the Pacific Rim National Park as Long Beach.
