Vancouver Island’s west coast is home to Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, a sustainable wilderness retreat in the Tofino region surrounded by a protected Biosphere Reserve. Accessible by a 25-minute seaplane from Vancouver, the lodge boasts a wealth of excursions, a spa, and spectacular dining facilities.
Its 25 luxurious canvas tents are dotted along the waterfront, designed to resemble a heritage great camp, with options for in-tent en suites. Interiors have a vintage feel with antique furnishings, fireplace and oil lamps complementing electric amenities.
Dine in the open-kitchen Cookhouse where chef Timothy May prepares barbecue buffet lunches and dinners with fresh local produce. Relax, drink-in-hand, at Ivanhoe Glass Lounge with 11-foot-high windows overlooking the estuary, where the Bedwell River meets the Pacific.
All activities at Clayoquot Wilderness Resort are tailored to meet guests’ desires, whether it’s black bear watching, fishing, horseback riding, trekking or mountain biking. The safari-style tented spa offers the perfect respite after a busy day.
"Offering a tented safari in Canada - Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge makes you feel like you're in the absolute middle of nowhere when you're only 40 minutes by boat from Tofino. The losge is located in a biosphere reserve with sustainability at the heart of everything they do. Head out on a kayak or Zodiac to see the local black bear population, before returning to the property to enjoy an incredible home-cooked meal on the terrace of the Cook House."
