From Our Coastal Home to Yours A Heartfelt Holiday Thank You
As 2025 draws to a close and the sound of the waves blends with festive music around town, we want to take a moment to slow down and say, truly and sincerely — thank you.
This year has been filled with beautiful moments, and many of them were made possible by you — our guests, our extended travel family, and all the kind souls who walked through the doors of Whaler’s Guesthouse Tofino Hostel, our cozy Tofino hostel by the water.
Our guesthouse has always been more than just a place to sleep. It’s where surfboards lean against walls, laughter echoes through the kitchen, and travelers from around the world swap stories over the fireplace. And this past year, that spirit was alive and well, from spontaneous guitar sessions in the common room to late-night chats about the best storm watching spots.
Whether you were here for a short visit or made Tofino Hostel your home base for weeks, we’re endlessly grateful for the trust you placed in us. You brought energy, warmth, and connection into our space, and that’s something we never take for granted.
If you’ve never experienced Christmas in Tofino, it’s something truly special. While the world rushes by elsewhere, our little corner of the coast slows to a peaceful rhythm. The skies are misty, the beaches are quiet, and local cafés serve up comfort in every cup. Inside Tofino hostel, it’s all about soft lights, warm blankets, and shared meals.
We’ve loved seeing guests celebrate the holidays their own way, cooking traditional recipes from home, creating makeshift decorations, or heading out for a walk on Chesterman Beach with a cup of hot cocoa in hand. It’s a season filled with togetherness and coastal charm. With our winter discount, you can enjoy this holiday season more!
This past year brought new faces, exciting festivals, and meaningful conversations. From Tofino’s Hot Chocolate Trail to Queen of the Peak in Tofino, every guest added their own magic to the mix. You helped make Tofino Hostel feel like a living, breathing storybook, one that we’ll be re-reading fondly for years to come.
Some highlights we’ll never forget:
