Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge

The most wonderful personalised stay, everything about this lodge brought a smile to our faces. You are greeted from the seaplane by welcoming faces and their two dogs then whisked to the lodge and handed sparkling wine whilst being orientated. The tented lodging is gorgeous, our room kitted out with chairs overlooking the river, comfortable bed and bathroom indoors. Coffee was delivered to your tent to enjoy pre breakfast each morning. The food and beverage was also delicious throughout, and would particularly like to comment on how excellent the pastry chef is. There were a variety of activities offered which were ran in small groups and very enjoyable such as hiking, kayaking, whale watching. We had some excellent guides / activity leaders and would like to call out MC who runs the cold plunge sessions and two of the hiking guides we had, Luke and Jared. Although the above experience does come at a sizeable cost, if you are considering a stay here, don’t hesitate, just book, I imagine we will be back ourselves one day!

the most incredible 3 days and 3 nights holiday our family has ever experienced - the sheer natural beauty of the resort. The knowledge, passion and attention to detail of each and every member of staff was incredible. The food was superb, the cocktails inspired (tinctures made from the local area). If you want to experience something that inspires you, pushes you a little out of your comfort zone (some of the activities are awesome!) and be wrapped in warmth and luxury then this is for you! Nature and nurture wrapped up in a bubble led by an incredible team. Thank you!

My husband and I had a lovely long weekend at Clayoquot. Everything was perfect: the good, staff, accommodation, activities, weather. Everyone was relaxed and having fun. The guides are super attentive to the guest and incredibly knowledgeable. We will be back :)

What a magical place! The location is only accessible by boat or seaplane. The food is spectacular and local wherever possible. The staff were first class. Everyone we met were friendly and knowledgeable. The excursions were all unique and a ton of fun. This place is one of a kind.

Don't think about it...just go. The MANY guided activities, cuisine, property, accommodations, and BAR are exceptional. The staff however, is BEYOND exceptional , 10 stars. While this venue may be financially out of reach for many people, it is 100% worth every penny. So if you get the opportunity to visit CWL...a truly heavenly place, don't hesitate for a second. If you want to lay around at a luxury hotel and get pampered, go to the Four Seasons. If you want an experience of a lifetime... go to CWL.

You must absolutely visit Clayoquot. Completely seamless from booking to departure. Breathtaking scenery, delicious farm-to-table food, and staff who treat you like treasured friends.

WOW what an experience! There are places that take your breath away—and then there’s Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, where even your soul exhales. Tucked away between old-growth rainforest and the wild Pacific, this extraordinary sanctuary delivers luxury so seamlessly woven into nature that it feels like it was always meant to be there. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just a resort—it was a community. The people at Clayoquot are as warm and grounding as the cedar that lines the en-suite bathrooms of the luxury tents (which, by the way, have heated floors—a welcome surprise after misty morning hikes or river adventures). Their hospitality is sincere, their smiles constant, and their passion for this land palpable. Each day held something unforgettable: horseback rides through lush forest paths, gourmet meals with ingredients sourced from the very land and sea around us, and soul-stirring hikes through towering old-growth trees. Knowing that this ancient ecosystem is actively protected—thanks in part to Clayoquot’s support of partners like Seaflora Skincare and the Ancient Forest Alliance—made every step feel purposeful. It’s rare to find a place so deeply committed to preserving the magic it shares. The line between luxury and wilderness blurs here. You might wake up to the call of eagles, spend your afternoon kayaking alongside sea lions, and come home to a turn-down service in your tent that rivals the finest hotels—all in the same day. Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is exceptional in every way. But what truly sets it apart isn’t the stunning setting or five-star comforts—it’s the people who make you feel like you belong in this wild, wonderful place. And once you’ve been, a piece of your heart will always remain there.

We just returned home from Clayoquot Lodge. It’s was an incredible experience. If you love the outdoors, this tranquil gem is a must visit. Amazing outdoor activities, exceptional staff and unmatched hospitality including the lodging, dining and amenities. Don’t miss visiting this lodge, you will not regret it.
