TRIP ITINERARY

After travelling to Clayoquot, check-in with a glass of wine and settle into The Outpost in your very own luxury tent. Then head to The Ivanhoe rooftop bar for jaw-dropping views over a drink or two. In the evening, dinner will be served at The Cookhouse at the heart of the lodge, a restaurant with an open kitchen and a coal-face style theatre.

After breakfast, embark on the Sights of the Sound marine safari and cruise the coastline for a chance to see black bears, sea lions, eagles, and more. Once lunch is done, stride out on the Penny Falls trail hike with an e-bike ride or transfer up the valley. The trail passes by scenic lookouts, crystal-clear pools, and a waterfall, especially useful if you fancy a refreshing dip along the way. As the sun dips down, ease into your evening in front of the fire at the Ivanhoe or take your party upstairs to the rooftop deck.

The lodge’s signature canyoning experience begins in the morning with an e-bike ride to reach the glacier­-fed waterfall channel, followed by a paddle upstream, a scramble over boulders, a refreshing swim and a thrilling jump from the suspension bridge.

In the afternoon, switch modes and unwind with a treatment at the Healing Grounds Spa. Relax into the warmth of the sauna or plunge into the red cedar hot tubs on the over-water deck, the perfect post­ adventure tonic.

As the day moves into evening, meet your heli pilot and lift off for an exhilarating Alpine Scenic flight. Feel the freedom of a bird while soaring over the Mt Mariner Glacier with ‘golden hour’ views north across Strathcona Provincial Park (additional charge applies).

After breakfast, saddle up with provided helmets and boots and set off for an unforgettable guided horse-back ride through the valley, riding through old-growth forest, Jurassic-era fern gardens and a river crossing.

Once done, test your skills at the archery range. Your guide will teach you the fundamentals using traditional recurve bows before heading to the faux hunting trail to hone your new-found skills. 

For dinner, drink in the spectacular sunset views of The Cookhouse. Let our chefs guide you on a culinary journey of the Pacific Northwest with dinner dishes including freshly-caught seafood and free-range beef. 

Welcome in the day with a sunrise yoga flow. Whether you’re a novice or a practiced guru, find your pace and develop your balance, strength and flexibility while connecting your breath and body.

Then explore Vancouver Island’s sky-high remote landscapes on an unforgettable Heli Hiking experience. Accompanied by your guide, summit the peak of Mt Ursus and with your adrenaline pumping, savour your reward: 360° wilderness views (additional charge applies).

Mix it up in the evening with a casual dinner sitting at the kitchen bar, sampling ingredients and picking up tips from the chefs while they work. Afterwards, try a dip in a hot tub with a sky full of stars above.

Early risers can opt for a transformative Glacial Plunge. After breakfast, try your hand at trawling for Chinook salmon and jigging for rock cod on the West Coast Fishing experience.

After a nourishing lunch, hit the lodge’s natural rock face overlooking the sparkling Bedwell Sound. Test your fitness and problem-solving abilities with a guided rock climb, complete with seven distinct climbing routes.

Stride out on the challenging Ursus Valley Hike. As you traverse the trail, look up in wonder at towering, 400-year-old forests of cedar and western hemlock, passing through plunging valleys and by crystal-clear streams. Enjoy a gourmet picnic along the way.

In the afternoon, take time out with a restorative massage at the Healing Grounds Spa and dial up the relaxation with a sauna or soak in a hot tub.

For the final night, head up to the rooftop of The Ivanhoe and sink into a comfy lounge to drink in the magic of twilight. Dine in the comfortable surrounds of
The Cookhouse, where the chefs will treat you to an unforgettable dinner.

For your last morning at Clayoquot, enjoy a leisurely breakfast on the outdoor deck, surrounded by the beauty of Mother Nature. There’s time for a canoe or kayak adventure or to float around and perfect your SUP technique.

Following lunch, stay local in The Outpost. Play a round of corn in the hole while awaiting the arrival of the seaplanes. At the signal from the team, the horse-drawn carriage will ferry you to the dock for your onward journey.
