Guest Reviews
"The highlight of the trip for us was the cultural experience. Not only hearing the stories but participating in native crafts such as cedar rose and hat making, smoking salmon the traditional way, and playing handmade drums. We even learned how to harvest cedar bark."
Richard J.
"The experience at Klahoose Wilderness lodge was wonderful. The Interaction with the Indigenous was unique and educational."
Anne B.
"Too many 'greats' to mention, but the main ones are the location, the people (staff), the knowledge and passing on of their indigenous culture, and of course the food."
