Tour Overview

Arrive by water taxi to your remote lodge surrounded by 50 acres of beautifully forested land. Relax in the wide-open space on Berry Island located between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia with the Queen Charlotte Strait to the west and Knight Inlet to the east. With only 12 units of accommodation in total, this secluded escape is truly away from the crowds and a place to “disconnect from the virtual world and reconnect with the natural world”. Each accommodation unit is a private oceanside or waterfront view guest room with an ensuite bathroom, a cozy stove and two extra-long double beds. Adventures include wildlife excursions for bears and marine life, coastal safari tours, sea kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, rainforest walks and forest bathing.
