About West Coast Trail

West Coast Trail is the essential guide for hikers planning to backpack the legendary West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island, BC.

Plan every detail of your hike with all the essentials at your fingertips:
• Customize your trip with unique dates, direction (north/south), and campsites.
• Automatic tide calculations for tide-restricted beach sections using official Tofino charts, adjusted for Daylight Savings.
• Interactive map with points of interest, trail highlights, shipwrecks, water sources, and ladder locations (with rung counts).
• Daily summaries showing distances, ladders, and tides.
• Campsite satellite images and detailed trail descriptions.
• Sunrise and sunset times for your exact dates.
• Save multiple trip plans or explore options for a YOYO hike.

In-App Upgrade: PRO Pass

The PRO Pass is a single-year, non-renewing purchase that unlocks all trail features:

• Trail Access – use the app fully offline with no cell service; remains unlocked during your hiking dates.
• GPS Locate – view your exact position on the official map.
• Trail Weather – get precision forecasts for every major campsite.

A PRO Pass is valid for the year shown (e.g. a “2026 PRO Pass” is valid through December 31, 2026).
It’s not a subscription — it never auto-renews and doesn’t need to be cancelled.

Note: The PRO Pass is not a trail permit. A Parks Canada West Coast Trail Backcountry Use Permit is still required to hike.

Free Version

The free version is fully functional for trip planning and ad-free, but it locks during your actual hiking dates.
Upgrade to PRO to stay trail-ready and access all offline features.

Pro version is Essential piece of hiking greater

Upgrading to the Pro version of the West Coast Trail app was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. The extensive detail and the ability to use it offline were absolutely critical to our success on the trail. Having reliable, consolidated information at our fingertips—tides, weather, obstacles, and challenges—helped us plan confidently and stay safe. The added historical context was a wonderful bonus that made the journey even more meaningful. Highly recommend upgrading, and a huge thank you to the creator for building such a thoughtful and invaluable tool!

Extremely useful!

I’m very glad that I had this app and paid the $20 for offline access. It was an extremely useful resource while on the trail. I would read about the next day before I went to bed each night and it thoroughly prepared me for what was ahead. Having the tide schedule as well as sunrise/sunset was super handy. Props to the author of this app. Clearly a lot of love went into this and they must have a deep passion for the WCT!
