Pre-trip information

What to bring

  • Personal Fishing Licenses - can be purchased online at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans website. (click this link) Please print your license and bring it with you on your charter.
  • Food and Beverages - Please ask about our RedCan Gourmet lunch service available on full day charters at an additional cost. You are welcome to bring food and beverages of your choice.
  • Layered clothing - It is better to dress warm, as it is often cooler on the water.
  • Rain gear - Always important in Tofino, please bring it if you have it. Some hotels can provide rain gear.
  • Sunscreen and sunglasses
  • Seasickness medicine - If you are concerned about motion sickness, we find the best approach is to take a motion sickness med before bed the night prior to the charter and a second one in the morning. This seems to produce the best results.

  • Please avoid wearing hiking boots or shoes with heavy marking soles. It’s OK if that’s all you brought. Thanks!

Where to go

All Tofino Fish Guides charters depart from the Trilogy dock in Tofino. Directions are as follows: Enter Tofino on Hwy 4 (known as Campbell Street in town) turn right at Weigh West, (Just before the Long Beach Surf Shop) go down the steep hill and keep left at the bottom into the Trilogy Fish parking lot. Proceed down the ramp to the dock. Our Vessel the “Rye-not” is in the Fifth slip.
