KLAHOOSE WILDERNESS RESORT
About Us
Klahoose Wilderness Resort: An Award-Winning Indigenous Eco-Resort in British Columbia
Nestled on the water’s edge in British Columbia’s Desolation Sound, Klahoose Wilderness Resort offers an immersive Indigenous cultural and eco-adventure experience. Surrounded by the lush temperate rainforest between the Salish Sea and the Coast Mountains, the resort sits along the remote Homfray Channel, known in the Klahoose language as 'Thee chum mi yich'—meaning “further back inside.”
​
Located in the heart of Klahoose First Nation territory, our resort reflects the welcoming spirit, traditions, and deep cultural connections to the land and wildlife. As a 100% Indigenous-owned resort, we offer grizzly bear viewing tours, marine and terrestrial wildlife experiences, and authentic cultural programming that celebrate the lands of the toq qaymɩxʷ (Klahoose) People. ​
An Unforgettable Indigenous-Led Adventure
Our guided tours are led by Klahoose cultural ambassadors who share the rich stories, legends, language, and songs of their ancestors. From spring eco-adventures to grizzly bear viewing in the fall, every experience reflects our deep commitment to environmental stewardship, sustainability, and Indigenous traditions.
