Located at the northern end of the Salish Sea in the calm waters of Desolation Sound, Klahoose Wilderness Resort is an unforgettable destination. Visitors will find themselves immersed in the welcoming culture of the Klahoose First Nation while surrounded by the peaks of the stunning Coast Mountains and the otherworldly environment of British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest.
Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this experience combines a true wilderness experience with all the comfort of a spectacular eco-resort. The resort reflects the Klahoose traditional values and offers an immersive exploration into this pristine region rich in diverse wildlife and important cultural significance.
The exact program is tailored to the preferences of the participants, weather conditions and wildlife activity. If you have chosen a shorter duration, please disregard the additional day at the Lodge.
Klahoose Wilderness Resort offers an intimate gateway to one of Earth's most biodiverse ecosystems, inviting you to forge genuine bonds with nature. Imagine the thrill of seeing bears fishing, kayaking alongside porpoises, or walking among ancient cedar giants. This serene haven, though deeply wild, is thoughtfully accessible from Vancouver.
