I used Coastal Rides extensively during my trip to Tofino in early December. Prompt courteous, clean comfortable vehicles, and just plain great folks to chat up. Highly recommend them for wherever you are going. Pro Tip: pre-book during the busy late afternoon early evening hours.
Highly recommend this very reliable pickup service in Tofino. Our driver Chris provided us with very punctual, professional and helpful pick up service from the Tofino Long Beach airport to our lodge. He also provided us with helpful tips and planning information for our 5 day trip in the area. As we are seniors this was particularly helpful. Thanks Coastal Rides!
Eric was such a great driver! He got us all the way back to Victoria when our flight got cancelled last minute from Tofino. He was friendly, drove very smoothly, and made the whole thing quite pleasant. Couldn’t recommend him enough!! Thanks again Eric :)
Awesome service!!!! Had Eric 3 times and he was such a great person to talk with. Cant remember the other gentleman we had, but he was great also.
Eric, our driver was right on time, a terrific host and gave us great insights into the area.
Driver was perfectly on time and great service!
