“Escaping reality on a wilderness adventure where the only way to access your lodge is by seaplane is a great way to switch off. The thrill of grizzly bear and whale watching leaves you speechless”

Bear watching & luxury glamping in British Columbia
British Columbia
Rooted so deeply in nature you’ll need a boat or a seaplane to reach it, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort offers spectacular glamping in beautiful British Columbia.
Nestled between mountain and river, many of the resort’s safari-style tents nudge the waterfront, furnished with antiques and all the glamour of the city, minus the urban chatter. Do whatever you want at whatever pace. Whether that’s fishing excursions and demanding hikes, or bear watching and white-water rafting amidst pristine views and the sounds of wildlife.
Come nightfall, venture to the dining lodge for meals doused in gastronomic flare, before jumping into the Jacuzzi with a night cap.

What I love most
about my job is helping others make their travel dreams a reality! It may
