This family owned and operated lodge sits in a sheltered inlet on Berry Island at the edge of Broughton Archipelago, a marine park renowned for its physical beauty and proximity to some of the best orca and grizzly bear viewing in British Columbia. The primary lodge building features a lounge, dining room, bar and wrap-around deck boasting spectacular views of the harbour. The lodge has 12 comfortable rooms each with a private bathroom.
Bear and Whale Viewing
Your full day bear viewing, in search of grizzly and black bear, is done from boats or on land, depending on the tide, and not from viewing platforms. Also included is an excursion to Johnstone Strait, renowned for its resident pod of orca, but also home to humpback whales, Steller sea lions, seals, Pacific white sided dolphins, Dall’s porpoises, and a myriad of bird life including the mighty bald eagle. This area teems with wildlife especially from July onwards when salmon return to the area. Evening interpretive programmes will talk about the wildlife and the Indigenous people who have called this area home for thousands of years.
