Rough seas calming: Tin Wis, past, present, and future

Tin Wis is within Tla-o-qui-aht Ḥaaḥuułi and the Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks, and like the ancestral village site that existed here for tens of thousands of years, the 85-room beachfront hotel stands facing one of the oldest highways on earth – the ocean. Connected to this deeply storied place, Tin Wis Best Western Resort’s own evolution relies upon the resilience of the Tla-o-qui-aht people, ancestral land and identity, and the perseverance of Cultural Lifeways as well as the Indigenous laws which protect biological diversity.

Paddling Into a Winter’s Dream

When the first storms of fall roll into Tofino, the coastline transforms into something extraordinary. The summer buzz gives way to quieter beaches, dramatic waves, and a slower rhythm where ocean, weather, and community move in harmony. Surfers trade swimsuits for thick wetsuits and rubber boots, storm-watchers flock to the shore, and on rare days, snow drapes the beaches in a fleeting winter wonderland. This season is also when stand-up paddleboarders gather for SUPTOBERFEST, and when Indigenous-led surf programs like mułaa Rising Tide Surf Team carry forward teachings that connect youth to the ocean and culture. Whether you’re here to storm-watch, surf, or simply immerse yourself in the beauty of the season, winter in Tofino is a dream worth experiencing.
