The property and luxury wilderness camp are located on Swanson Island on the edge of Blackfish Sound and the Broughton Archipelago - the heart of orca and humpback territory on northern Vancouver Island. Exclusive boat access to the private Swanson Island location. The established camp is built directly by the sea, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by old growth rainforest and wild beaches. Situated in arguably one of the best areas for viewing whales on the West Coast. Imagine beautiful, big white canvas tents on big wooden platforms set against the backdrop of towering fir trees and the blues and greens of the ocean lapping at your doorstep. The sounds of silence interrupted only by the occasional blow of passing whales, dolphins, sea lions and birds.

Tents are large 10×12′, bright and spacious cotton canvas tents made here on Vancouver Island. They are 8′ (2.4m) high at the peak, so have ample room for standing up and moving around with ease. The screened windows and front door provide sweeping views of the forest and/or ocean. The tents are perched off the ground on cedar platforms, helping to protect the delicate ecosystem below. Inside your tents are 2 twin beds which can be pushed together to make a king size if desired. These beds are handmade by our wonderful crew with locally milled red cedar and beach driftwood accents. The beds each have a 6-inch thick soya foam mattress, 2 pillows (one soft and one firm to ensure a good night’s sleep), crisp white linens, a warm duvet and fleece blankets for those cooler nights. Bedside tables, crafted from local wood, hold a lamp for reading and a hot water bottle to help take the chill off when you crawl into your bed to dream about what’s in store for the morning.

*Please note: This property requires a 3-night minimum stay.
