KLAHOOSE WILDERNESS RESORT
About Us
Klahoose Wilderness Resort perches on the water’s edge in the temperate rain forest between BC’s Salish Sea and the Coast Mountains. Located on a remote channel named Thee chum mi yich – meaning further back inside (Homfray Channel) in the calm waters Desolation Sound just north of BC's Sunshine Coast and east of Vancouver Island. Located in the heart of the Klahoose Nation traditional territory, the resort reflects the welcoming spirits and cultural traditions, as well as immersive connections with nature and wildlife.

Klahoose Wilderness Resort tours are primarily led by our Klahoose guides. These guides are culturally trained and share legends, stories, language, and songs. While the focus on eco-adventure tours from May through August shifts to grizzly viewing tours from late-August until mid-October, their commitment to stewardship and community weaves through everything we do.
