Highlights of the Journey:

• Cultural Immersion: Engage with Klahoose Cultural Interpreters and learn about local traditions and explore the rich heritage of the Klahoose territory.

• Wildlife viewing for Humpback whales as they are returning to our waters after the spring migration, and both black bears and grizzly bears as they feed along the shoreline. Spring is also excellent for viewing migrating birds and all kinds of coastal bc wildlife encounters as we travel the calm ocean by boat.

Today you will explore Yekwamen (yɛkʷamɛn) or Toba Inlet with your Klahoose guide. The inlet has been the home of the Klahoose people since time before memory. This is one of the principle inlets on the BC coast. Toba Inlet is relatively short in comparison to other major coastal inlets with an average width of 2.5 km and length about 35 km.  The inlet is flanked by tower glacier peaks, part of the Coast Mountain Range, with several major cascading waterfalls.  We are watching for wildlife including Grizzly Bears, Black Bears, Humpback Whales, Orca, Dolphins, Eagles and seabirds.  

 

DAY 3 / May 19

​Aap'ukw'um 

Today we visit the traditional Klahoose village site of Aap'ukw'um at Forbes Bay.  Aap'ukw'um lies just south of the resort on the east shore of Homfray Channel. This peaceful forested bay has a large stream fed by alpine lakes. Here we will listen to stories passed down by elders. Learn about spiritual bathing and participate in a traditional bathing in the creek.

EXPRIENCINE KLAHOOS WILERNESS RESORT 

Today is all about immersing yourself in the resort's natural surroundings.
