For seasoned explorers seeking the perfect fusion of untamed wilderness and high-end luxury, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is an experience like no other. Hidden deep within the rugged landscapes of Vancouver Island’s remote west coast, this exclusive eco-safari retreat is accessible only by seaplane, helicopter, or boat—setting the tone for an unforgettable journey from the moment you arrive.

Set within a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve, Clayoquot offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in one of the last remaining ancient temperate rainforests on the planet. This is adventure in its purest form—pristine, unspoiled, and exhilarating.

A Basecamp of Refined Comfort

While the wilderness outside is raw and untamed, the accommodations at Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge offer a sanctuary of comfort. Inspired by 19th-century prospectors’ camps, the 25 white canvas tents are anything but rustic. Each one is elegantly outfitted with:
✅ Cast iron stoves for warmth after a day of exploration.
✅ Heated bathroom floors and private outdoor showers that let you freshen up under the open sky.
✅ Antique furnishings and premium linens, bringing old-world charm to the heart of the wild.

This is no ordinary glamping experience—it’s a basecamp for those who want to push the boundaries of adventure while still indulging in world-class comfort.

🦅 Wildlife Expeditions – Spot black bears foraging along the shoreline, watch bald eagles soar overhead, and witness pods of orcas and humpback whales in their natural habitat.

🛶 Kayaking & Paddleboarding – Navigate glassy fjords and hidden inlets, where silence is broken only by the splash of your paddle and the call of the wild.

🏇 Horseback Riding – Ride through old-growth forests and rugged coastal trails, following paths once traversed by First Nations peoples and early explorers.

This is adventure travel at its most raw and exhilarating, with the added bonus of returning each evening to an indulgent retreat.

Culinary Excellence & Restorative Wellness

After a day of high-energy exploration, refuel with a gourmet feast inspired by the wild. The lodge’s culinary team sources the freshest local ingredients—think wild-caught seafood, foraged greens, and farm-to-table delicacies—to craft meals that reflect the rich flavors of the Pacific Northwest.

For those seeking rejuvenation, Clayoquot’s wellness experiences offer the perfect counterbalance to adventure. Unwind with a deep-tissue massage, soak in an outdoor hot tub with rainforest views, or practice yoga by the water’s edge as the morning mist rises.
