Incredible Accommodations
We pride ourselves on going the extra mile to find hotel properties that
truly reflect the region. A few of our favourites include...



Pacific Yellowfin
Aptly named for her past life as a tuna research vessel, now luxuriously outfitted for guests, you’ll cruise the waters of BC with Captain Colin and his welcoming crew. The Pacific Yellowfin accommodates a range of passengers, including family-friendly staterooms. View ship website »



Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort, Port McNeill
Escape to the northern tip of Vancouver Island to Nimmo Bay, set in the Broughton Archipelago, an ideal place to observe mighty orca whales as they cruise the waters. Truly secluded and hardly touched, you’ll be in awe of the glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and waterfalls surrounding the resort--especially if you hop on a helicopter sightseeing tour. View hotel website »



Hastings Country House, Salt Spring Island
A bit of English charm informs the Hastings House, a Relais & Chateaux property, with twenty-two acres of gardens and oceanfront land to captivate you. Set on rural Salt Spring Island, you can roam the grounds, relax at the Wellspring Spa, or take in the freshest farm-to-table dining at one of two on-site restaurants. View hotel website »



Galiano Inn and Spa, Galiano Island
Unwind amongst nature on away-from-it-all Galiano Island, an artistic and natural haven brimming with the quintessential laid-back feeling of the West Coast. Stay oceanfront at the Galiano Inn & Spa amidst sandstone beaches and the magic of a temperate rainforest in your backyard, ideal for exploration. View hotel website »



Long Beach Lodge
There’s nothing better than an oceanview room, and at Long Beach Lodge, set right along the Pacific Ocean, is among the best views in Tofino. It’s excellent for family stays, with larger oceanfront cottages that give you access to the ocean at your doorstep. Visit Hotel Website
