Enquire about WildsideThe experience
Rainforest, ocean beaches and a living landscape
The Wildside Trail lies on Flores Island in Clayoquot Sound, within the traditional territory of the Ahousaht First Nation. Our developing three-day journey is conceived as a long-weekend guided hiking experience with a wilderness camp and time to experience this coastline without rushing.
We are still refining access, route logistics and the way this experience will be offered. Final plans will be developed with appropriate permissions and arrangements; nothing on this page should be taken as a confirmed itinerary or booked departure.
Your journey
Proposed three-day itinerary
Placeholder itinerary: This is a conceptual three-day outline, not an approved route schedule. Access, campsites, distances, activities and timing remain to be confirmed.
Day 1 — Proposed
Travel to Flores Island and begin exploring
Meet for the arranged journey to Flores Island. After a guide briefing and introduction to the area, begin a coastal walk and settle into a designated overnight arrangement, subject to permits and logistics.
Day 2 — Proposed
A day among the rainforest and beaches
Spend the day exploring sections of the Wildside Trail at an unhurried pace, with opportunities for interpretation, observation and shared discussion. The route and walking distance will depend on the final tour design and conditions.
Day 3 — Proposed
Final coastal walk and return
Enjoy a final morning on the trail before returning via the agreed transport arrangements. Departure and return points will be confirmed before any trip is offered for sale.
Price and inclusions
What will be included?
Final inclusions and pricing are still being developed. We anticipate guided hiking and coordinated logistics, with details of transportation, meals, camp arrangements and equipment confirmed when the trip is formally launched.
There is currently no published price and no live Checkfront product for this developing trip.
