We absolutely love that these girlfriends packed up and headed to Tofino for a weekend of celebration. The natural beauty of Tofino turned out to be the perfect backdrop for this cozy beach bonding session. Read on for the girlfriends’ guide to Tofino.



“We went to Tofino for a bachelorette to celebrate our beautiful bride-to-be Jess. We are all already very lucky to live by the ocean in Vancouver, but there’s nothing more spectacular than the open ocean, crashing waves and rugged beaches of Tofino (especially North Chesterman Beach) – the perfect backdrop for a photoshoot! The weekend was filled with many laughs, strolls on the beach, dance parties, bonfires, wine, chocolate and candy. It just so happened we were there during the #WomensMarch movement and it was beyond empowering and inspiring to have our own mini march on the beach. A weekend we’ll never forget!” – Alice
