Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is named for Clayoquot Sound, a vast, 62-mile (100km) wide inlet of the Pacific Ocean on Vancouver Island’s wild west coast. The sound is made up of a series of remote inlets, private bays and small islands fed by fresh flowing rivers and surrounded by towering mountains and pristine, old-growth forest. Guided by time and nature alone, the coastal ecosystem has evolved freely and now plays host to thousands of species of flora and fauna. Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is set on the Bedwell River, right on the doorstep of this pure wilderness and rewards guests with exclusive access to one of nature’s most astonishing amphitheatres.
Gloriously remote and set in one of Canada’s wildest and most astounding natural environments, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is British Columbia’s celebrated luxury outpost, coming complete with white canvas safari tents and a central guest outpost with restaurant, bar, rooftop deck and cedar hot tubs on the banks of the sound. It’s a grown-up summer camp, a step away from time where guests are treated to exclusive, privileged access to nature’s playground. Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is open seasonally during the warmer months from May to September.
Glamping Tents
Twenty-five luxurious Canadian safari tents line the banks of the magnificent Clayoquot Sound and are set among the region’s old–growth rainforest. The traditional white canvas tents are styled with contemporary finishes with generous appointments and pared back, refined luxury.

Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge welcomes children aged six years and over.

Get set for a choose-your-own adventure style escape on Vancouver Island, where the vast landscape and thriving wildlife combine in a backdrop to exhilarating, unforgettable experiences. Take a hike on the wild side, try horseback riding, or canyoning in the glacier-fed river with the ancient forest towering above. Cruise the sound to spot the west coast’s wildlife superstars or jump onboard a helicopter and fly high over the landscape, zooming through gorges and landing atop a mountain, where drinks and canapés are served with the world’s most breathtaking backdrop.
Guests at Clayoquot have direct, right-on-the-doorstep access to some 600-acres of gloriously wild UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve where awesome adventures await, with a chance encounter of a black bear foraging along the shoreline for barnacles and crabs or a whale breaching from the icy Pacific Ocean waters on the cards.
