Knight Inlet Lodge

Knight Inlet Lodge, an Indigenous-owned wildlife viewing destination in the Great Bear Rainforest 240km northwest of Vancouver, is Canada’s premier grizzly bear viewing destination. Accessible by sea or air, this 18-room remote floating lodge offers unparalleled experiences amidst one of the last intact temperate rainforests on earth – home to Indigenous Peoples, ancient forests, and bears since time immemorial. The lodge is owned by five partner First Nations – Da’naxda’xw Awaetlala, Mamalilikulla, Tlowitsis, Wei Wai Kum, and K’ómoks – who have been stewards of the traditional territories, including the Knight Inlet region, for thousands of years. This ancient knowledge and experience are all now part of the Lodge experience, reflected in conservation efforts and the contribution to research and responsible environmental stewardship.
