Pacific Sands Beach Resort - 2 for 1 Family Whale Excursion - Tofino, BC

20,000 Blowhole Salute

Kids tour FREE with our 2 for 1 Family Whale Excursion.

Tofino's spectacular annual parade of grey whales is closing in on our coastline, where 20,000 majestic, 40-ton mammals will soon be blowing and tail-waving on their way by.

In fact, our shores are merely a stopover on their 7,000-mile journey from Mexico's Baja Peninsula to summer feeding grounds in Alaska.

Catch the parade with our 2 for 1 Family Whale Excursion. Stay and tour between March 12 and May 15 and each child (aged 4 to 12) rides FREE for every paying adult or senior. [more]

PHOTO CONTEST WINNER - January

Pacific Sands Photo Contest Winner

We love the moody reflection of surfers catching a ride after a tide change, and before the looming storm. Or is it the other way around? It could also be interpreted as "sandpipers carrying surfboards" like it was in a Facebook comment (wink).

Very cool shot by guest photographer Carol Mo!

Monthly Photo Contest Winners enjoy a 2-Night Getaway, including wine on arrival and Vij’s Curry-To-Go dinner entrees for 2.  Email, upload or Instagram your Pacific Sands digital images by February 29, 2016 for the next chance to win.

RESORT TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Guest Services Guru

You have to earn "Guru" status right? To give you an idea of why it rolls off our tongue where Ricardo ("Ricky") Garcia is concerned, recent guest comments talked about how he saved their stay because they'd booked the wrong dates!

That's just the way Ricky rolls.

Besides being awarded Five Star Employee of the Month as voted by guests, it's Ricky's 3rd Anniversay at the Resort, and his 50th Birthday.

He's off to the Philippines to celebrate with his family for a few weeks. Congrats Ricky and safe travels back!
