Farewell Harbour Lodge Discover ~ Connect ~ Refresh
Experience wild beauty and adventure in the Broughton Archipelago Join us!

Owned and operated by the Brockway and McGrady families, our mission at Farewell Harbour Lodge is simple: To help our guests experience the profound beauty of the Broughton Archipelago and the Great Bear Rainforest. We do that by offering inspiring west coast style ocean-side accommodations, sumptuous meals and engaging, passionate guides who will lead you on daily adventures deep into the heart

of this wild and beautiful part of the planet. We live in a magical place blessed with some of nature’s most charismatic wildlife, where wild Orca skip over the blue Pacific waves, where mighty Grizzlies forage in lush coastal estuaries and where the towering evergreen forest seems endless. And let’s not forget the wild Salmon upon whose foundation all this richness rests. It is here, too, that our guests can experience a taste of the rich Kwakwaka'wakw First Nations culture that has existed here since time immemorial. Disconnect from the virtual world, reconnect with the natural world and experience the power of place here at Farewell Harbour Lodge.

It’s officially Spring! 🌻🌱

As the wilderness around us begins to awaken, we’re getting excited for the season ahead.

The forests are starting to stir, the wildlife is returning and the Broughton Archipelago is coming to life once again. It’s a time of renewal, and we can’t wait to see what this season brings! 🌲

Tourism is about discovery and connection. We travel to see the world through a new lens, to experience different perspectives, and to connect with diverse cultures and environments.
Over the past nine years, we have welcomed more than 4,000 travellers from over 30 countries to Farewell Harbour. Each has come to explore and connect with the natural world alongside fellow wildlife and nature enthusiasts.
There are still places where kindness, wonder and a sense of connection are always within reach - Farewell Harbour is one of them. We will continue to welcome guests from around the world with open arms and warm hospitality.
Step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in the peace and beauty of nature with others who share your passion. We are excited to see you in 2025 🩵

We have a few snowy days on Vancouver Island this week ❄️

It makes us think of our furry friends in their cozy dens. Did you know that bears don’t truly “hibernate” like some animals. They go into a state of torpor, which means that they still wake occasionally to move around. They can sleep for months at a time and their body temperature only drops slightly. This means they can rest without totally shutting down!

What do you see 🔍

Did you know that the patterns in nature actually influence our well-being. Next time you feel overwhelmed, step outside and look at the stars, or the fractals in a leaf and feel the calming power of the world around you.

The sounds of Farewell Harbour Lodge 🎶🌿

January can be busy, take a deep breath, close your eyes and imagine….
The rhythmic lapping of the ocean waves, the slap of a breaching whale, the crackle of the fire, the murmuring of happy people in the great room, the distant howl of a wolf, the wind whispering through the forest 🌳

Let the sounds of the wild melt away the noise of everyday life 🐋

And just like that, our 2024 season is over! But not before Mother Nature provided us with some last precious moments with her friends. Thanks to guest Jonathan Price who shot all these photos yesterday with a telephoto on a blustery autumn day in the Broughton Archipelago. We’ll do it all again starting June 1, 2025!

We’ve been having some extra-ordinary wolf activity here on Berry Island and the islands surrounding Farewell Harbour over the past month with 1 sighting and lots of evening howling! We’ve never heard wolves on the island before this summer. This very special photo was taken in one of the bear viewing rivers we visit. 📸 by Dianne Aitken in July

There are photos of Orca and then there are photos of Orca! We’ll be featuring pics by over the next few weeks. Simon was here with his family in early August and just sent a treasure trove of photos for us to share. Thanks Simon! Pic taken with a telephoto.

Take a moment to enjoy a snapshot of the colours, patterns and sounds we experienced from the lodge last summer. 🎶 Make sure you take some time to notice how nature is speaking to you today 🐋🌿🌊 #patternsinnature #soundsofnature #farewellharbour #gonorthisland #naturalbeauty #natureinspires #canada #broughtonarchipelago

Sending an iPhone underwater to capture the “charismatic mini-fauna” that live by our dock including super active filter feeding acorn barnacles and schools of juvenile salmon. The wildlife is sometimes closer than you think!
