Outline:

Lighthouse Loop interpretive walk:

Learn about the wild weather, impenetrable rainforest, and coastal geography that doomed so many ships and survivors in the “Graveyard of the Pacific.”  History comes to life in the story of the sinking of the Pass of Melfort - the tragic event that inspired the building of the lighthouse.  Bring your questions to learn about the forest and all creatures great and small. Interpretive walks are led by the WPT Ambassador and other program experts such as Silva Johansson, the Ucluelet Aquarium, and the Central West Coast Forest Society.

Oyster Jim

Ucluelet Aquarium

Daily walks commence on the long weekend in May and continuing to the end of September.
