East Coast Wandering
3 Stops
Ammonite Falls
This stunning waterfall is raging in spring and fall but in the summer, the stream dries up enough to reveal the bottom of the creek, it's sandstone pools and fossil covered bed. This hike through managed forest and swampy areas is strikingly different from the old growth we would have seen in Port Renfrew and your guide will give you some awesome facts about Forestry in BC along the way! This hike has a few uphills and sets of stairs but nothing too exhausting or technical.
2 Hours • Admission Ticket Free
Cathedral Grove
One last visit to the Old Growth for this trip. This time we will be entering a magical grove of giant and ancient Douglas-Firs. A completely different environment but stunning and awe inspiring none the less. Fun Fact: This location was used for the set of the planet Endor in Star Wars; Return of the Jedi.

This guided tour is such an amazing experience where you will face as much challenge as you would like to experience and a world of wonder that will make you feel like you are on a different planet.
