    Hiking

    The Kwisitis Visitor Centre was built on a massive rock at the southern end of Wickaninnish Beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. In the Nuu-chah-nulth language, the name means "the other end of the beach." The building was constructed between 1963 and 1965 and expanded between 1978 and 1982. It is a protected historic building due to its historical significance and architecture.
    With the entrance ticket to the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (CAD $22 per day and family), we can park the RV and access the exhibits in the Visitor Centre.

    Hiking

    The Kwisitis Visitor Centre gives a small insight into the surrounding nature and the history of this area. The culture of the local First Nations is particularly highlighted. A good option for a rainy afternoon or as a stopover.
