Farewell Harbour Lodge is a delightful property situated on the edge of Broughton Archipelago Marine Park to the east of Vancouver Island. Protected by several islets, the lodge sits on a quiet bay, giving a wonderful feeling of seclusion surrounded by the dramatic British Columbian landscape.

This region is a prime whale viewing area and grizzly bears can be seen foraging in the lush coastal estuaries and surrounding forests.

Farewell Harbour Lodge offers 12 rooms comprising of eight oceanside double cabins. Each cabin has an en-suite bathroom with a shower and a thermostat-controlled gas burning stove in the bedroom. There are four further rooms at the floating lodge.

Why we like Farewell Harbour Lodge

Farewell Harbour Lodge gives guests a genuine wilderness experience. Nothing is over the top. The food is simple but delicious. The guides are passionate and professional but relaxed. The rooms are cosy and understated. Their focus is entirely on making you feel at home and giving you the best wildlife experiences possible.
