About Botanical Beach Hike

This program is a guided hike into Botanical Beach Provincial Park with VIU Outdoor Recreation. This trip explores a section of the trail that has big beaches, rugged west coast sites, fossils and massive old growth forests. Botanical Beach is famous for its tide pools so lots of the day will spent exploring the inter tidal zone. This hike is suitable for beginners and intermediate hiker.
