Wild & Wonderful: Our 2021 Season in Review Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge
“
Forget Disneyland. It’s quite possible this is the most magical place on earth.
We just returned from a four night stay at Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, and we have never been more sad to come home. From start to finish, everything was out of this world.

The kitchen servers, chefs and entire team were beyond friendly and professional.
They showed genuine concern and interest in every meal. Even down to remembering which coffee we drink, and our wine of preferences! Asher, there are no words. His food is an art, and every dish was better than the next!

What I will remember the most is the genuinety, friendliness and passion everyone at Clayoquot shares about nature, conservation, and your experience.
After four days, we really got to know the staff, and they got to know us too. There were feelings of melancholy in us as we left, as we truly felt welcomed and at home. Yet we know we will be back.

Everything is included and delivered by staff who are devotees to their craft.
Be it from the culinary team, to the guides, spa team, to the captains. Even housekeeping adds touches to the experience; like coming back from a locally inspired forage-fresh 5 star dinner, and the fireplace is lit and there are hot water bottles in the beds for a nice and toasty night in.

This was the most unique, fun experience. Taking us to a serene, pristine wilderness and putting us in touch with fantastic people who kept us safe during thrilling adventures and taught us so much about the land. Spectacular food by chef Asher Blackford. Epic!

My Grandson, Ben, and I had a wonderful time together, enjoying all of your staff and everything we experienced at Clayoquot. The whole time with you all was the best celebration and memory maker for Ben’s graduation gift. Sarah, thanks to you and your kids for making our time so special.

We have been lucky enough to travel all over the world and have stayed at some beautiful locations. Clayoquot spoke to me at a level that runs very deep.
Clayoquot renewed my interest in what logging has done to our communities and has prompted me to further study our First Nations peoples and what they are navigating through. You run a tight ship in an incredible location with joyous staff, and that’s not luck. It’s all due to your hard work and commitment.

Sarah, you have put together an incredible team. Every single person we encountered were so friendly and kind, and so great with the kids.
Everyone there is bonded by their love of nature, and you can feel how much they love this special place.

Clayoquot, you and your lovely team are stamped on our hearts and souls.
