Tofino Taxi is a taxi service in Tofino that takes bookings by phone at 250-725-3333. The company has no website that we could find, so the phone is the way to reach a driver.

A local transportation sheet gives these details:

  • Hours: Wednesday to Saturday, 9:30 am to 11:00 pm, and Sunday, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm
  • Payment: cash only
  • Fare: an average one way trip into Tofino is $15.00

The same sheet warns that demand is high at peak times and delays are common, so leave plenty of time for pickup and drop off. It does not list hours for Monday or Tuesday, so call ahead if you need a ride on those days.

Bring cash before you ride, since cards are not mentioned as an option. The $15.00 figure is an average for a trip into town and not a posted tariff, so ask the dispatcher for the price when you book, especially for longer runs to beaches or lodges outside the village. For other taxi options on the west coast of the island, see the Port Alberni taxi page.
