This remote luxury lodge will take you flying over glaciers, forests, and wildlife on one
00:04
of Canada's most beautiful islands.
00:05
Our helicopter's behind us, our guide is climbing around the rocks like a monkey.
00:09
Clackawatt Wilderness Lodge is a tented camp in the forests around Clackawatt Sound,
00:13
a scenic UNESCO site on Vancouver Island along the Pacific coast.
00:16
The tents are huge with propane stoves, views out over a sparkling estuary with lots of birds,
00:21
and insanely soft wool throws to keep things cozy.
00:23
You can hike the old-growth forests in the Ursus Valley,
00:25
which reminds me of the enchanted mossy forests of the movie Princess Mononoke.
00:29
The lodge also gets you up close and personal with wildlife.
00:31
On boat rides throughout the Sound, you can see black bears, grey whales,
00:35
and dozens of bird species in the water.
00:36
Or you can kayak alongside harbour porpoises and otters.
00:39
But the best experience by far has to be the epic helicopter rides over the wilderness.
00:43
You'll soar over blue lakes, glaciers, and the tallest trees in the entire forest.
00:47
All of this adventure, mixed with luxurious digs, is my idea of a perfect vacation.
