Rainforest Tours

We did a full day hike at the Southern Juan de Fuca trails (Mystic Beach). It was great! Toni was a well-organized, nice, and insightful guide.We could have rented a car and planned our own exploration of trails near Victoria. But booking the Rainforest Tour was a great decision. We didn't need a car for the rest of our trip, so it would be an unnecessary expense and hassle. It was also much nicer to have someone drive us! Plus, Toni knew the best places to stop for a break and snack en route and the best trails to see. The experience was made simpler and stress-free by booking the tour. All we had to do was arrive at the pick up spot (Tourist Information booth at the Harbour) and enjoy the day. A key feature for us was that it was a small group (max 6 people).Mystic Beach was an enjoyable destination. The trail is a good balance between nature walk and hike. There are areas where you have to mind your footing, so it is best to wear good shoes or even hiking boots. I wore good walking shoes and was fine. If you are not an experienced hiker, it should be no problem; just take your time and you'll be fine. This is a great day trip for all skill levels.There was a heat wave the week we did the tour. It was ok in the trails: the tree canopy and ocean breeze created a very comfortable experience.Next time we are in Victoria we will book again to see the old growth forests in the Northern Juan de Fuca trails.

An awesome day in nature with Toni and Dan. Simply excellent!

Gorgeous day hike outside of Victoria in a section of the Juan de Fuca trail. A fun experience that included a suspension bridge, beach waterfall, tide pools, and unique rock formations. Toni is a fun knowledgeable guide who absolutely loves her job and the area. Lunch was great – the gluten chicken sandwich was delicious. Highly recommend getting a baked good when lunch is picked up. Worth the time and effort – would definitely go on a hike with Rainforest Tours again!

We enjoyed the hiking tour to Mystic Beach very much. Our guide Toni was lovely and I would do that definitely again!

È stata una bellissima esperienza, la proprietaria/guida è stata meravigliosa e super carica di entusiasmo!Persone esperte e gentili vi accompagneranno nella scoperta di posti meravigliosi.Way to go!

Was lucky enough to do a full day tour with Toni in East Sooke park!It was just 2 of us with Toni and she was amazing. Having recently recovered from injury, Toni was attentive to my needs and provided lots of breaks (filled with nature facts) and the best lunch spots! She was well prepared with lunch, ponchos and extra gear if needed! Being safety conscious I was very happy to see she had a full “trip binder” of maps and evacuation points if anyone was injuries, as well as an extensive first aid kit! We were able to go to two different locations because we finished our loop early.I really appreciate Toni’s flexible planning and extensive knowledge of the routes she leads you on. She truly knows the land and has watched it evolve through the years, and it’s fascinating to hear what has changed through the years. This is my first guided hike, and now that I’ve seen how great a local guide is, I can not be going back! I will absolutely be doing more of Toni’s hikes the next time I’m in the area, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Eine super Tour mit einer sehr freundlichen, lustigen und unkomplizierten Tour-Guidin. Wir haben die Tagestour gebucht und konnten viele schöne Orte entdecken. Man kann immer selbst entscheiden, wo man länger Zeit verbringt und wo nicht. Empfehlenswert!

Nice 1/2 day hike through the rain forest.

Had a wonderful half-day tour to Aylard Farm with Toni today. Would totally do another full day tour! Recommend for both visitors and locals.

I had a wonderful time doing the East Sooke Regional Park - Aylard farm. The views were breathtaking and well worth the time and money. Toni was a great guide & hike compagnon!
