This afternoon you'll depart on a short flight by charter seaplane from Vancouver International Airport, heading to Tofino with others also going to the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort. You'll arrive to the resort an hour after takeoff.

Included in your package:
-one half day saltwater fishing excursion.

Setting out with a fishing guide, you'll board a boat (minimum 2 guests per boat) for an enjoyable half-day of saltwater fishing. From May through September, find coho (silver salmon) and sea bass. At the height of summer, giant tyee (king salmon) reign supreme. Halibut are prolific from March through September, and ocean fly fishing is best from July through September; fish for coho (silvers) and rock fish in a 25-foot open-air centre-console vessel.

The resort’s stable of about 30 endurance horses and double teams of draft horses promise unbridled fun and adventure. Ride through the many stunning trails in and around the resort, through old-growth forest, and to the edge of Strathcona Provincial Park, watching for bears along the way. Visit the abandoned gold mines of “Bear City”, a turn-of-the-century mining town that boomed and busted many times between the great Yukon Rush and WWII. Explore the Bedwell’s own “Jurassic Park”, a remote area of deep old-growth forest where ancient cedars measure 40-ft in circumference and ferns reach gigantic proportions. Horseback riding adventures are available for all ages and inclinations. Gallop like the wind through super-oxygenated forest trails, or trot leisurely along a stream bed or abandoned logging road. Experienced guides offer expert instruction..

Paths of cedar boardwalk, trails through ancient forest cathedrals and lush fern gardens, and abandoned roads deep in the rainforest, showcase old-growth, new growth, and re-forested landscapes and abundant wildlife. A popular day-trek traverses Outpost property, crosses a rope suspension bridge and leads guests into beautiful Strathcona Provincial Park – a mecca for backcountry and alpine hikers. You'll set out with a guide and some other resort guests looking to explore the natural splendor of the region.

Included in your package:
-one massage treatment (duration: 1 hr)

Very near to the place where the cookhouse casts its shadow on the shore of the Bedwell River sits the beautiful Healing Grounds Spa, an eco-safari style massage and therapeutic treatment centre with the soul of an outpost spa and a personality all its own. Three massage tents and two treatment rooms, two wood-fired cedar hot tubs, a wood-fired cedar sauna, an outdoor shower and wrap-around sun decks artfully compose a rest and relaxation destination of intimate proportions. Here, the muffled footfall of passers-by on the boardwalk, the screech of an eagle, the faraway thunder of galloping horses and the laughter of children gently pepper the meditative hum of the wilderness as the afternoon passes by.

Set out with a kayak guide for some incredible kayaking amongst serene naturescapes, with rock cliff faces and caniferous forest lining the river. Keep your eye out for wildlife as you paddle. The area is known for black bears, bald eagles, and many other animals. Kayaking can easily be substituted with mountain biking if that is of more interest. Bikes are provided at the resort, and a guide will take you out along some interesting paths.
