Need to know

Going Wild?

Bring yourself, your favourite comfortable shoes (sneakers, deck shoes, sandals), casual clothes (long khakis or denims and shorts, sundress for women), a bathing suit, something casual-chic for dinner (an option not a requirement), a few layers of light outerwear (flannels and fleece are ideal) and hiking boots. Also, bring your toiletries, sunscreen, a camera and extra film.

We have just about everything else it takes - outerwear, adventure gear, fishing gear, riding boots, etc - to make a vacation perfect.

Travel Light

Note that the floatplane leg of your trip dictates traveling light, restricting personal baggage to a maximum of 30 lbs (13.6 kg) per person, including carry on. Additional baggage will be accepted only if space allows, so be sure to call the airline ahead of time for advice, or check with the resorts' reservation office.

If, upon arrival to the plane, space does not permit excess baggage, then it will be transported on stand-by status on the next available flight. While we discourage guests from exceeding baggage allowances, resort staff will of course track and retrieve stand-by luggage from Tofino if necessary.

We provide fluffy robes, slippers, hair dryers, in-room irons, aromatherapeutic amenities, rain gear (hooded slickers and overalls), rain boots, umbrellas, gloves, hats, survival suits, life jackets, state-of-the-art adventure equipment and fishing gear, bear bells, and books to lend. Check Outpost Amenities for detailed lists.

We do not offer a regular laundry service, but in a pinch (or a slide, or a spill), we'll take care of that too.

If you happen to forget something or want a souvenir of your stay, we have an impressive selection of distinctive outerwear, fleeces, hats, and golf and long-sleeve shirts, as well as select antique smalls, First Nations masks and jewelry, postcards, personal items, film, and one-of-a-kind handmade treasures available for purchase from our gift shop.

Staying in Touch

By design we have no in-tent telephone or television, but you can always stay in touch using our cellular phone (per minute charges may apply to long distance), or the complimentary satellite internet service (wireless, or on-site PC). Personal cellular phones may or may not function in the area, so please inquire with your provider directly.

It is helpful for us to know in advance of any dietary restrictions, allergies, or special medical conditions, so that Chefs and service staff can best serve. As a rule, Chef May's modern natural cuisine favours the concentrated of reduction sauces over cream-based, vegetable-based broths over meat stock, organic ingredients over conventional, and a light, healthful (and incredibly delicious) style of cooking.

We apologize that while the resort and the cookhouse can accommodate moderately physically challenged guests, they do not lend themselved to wheelchairs. There are no reinforced railings, or specially outfitted bathrooms, and our remote nature and rugged wilderness make wheelchair access to land and activities next to impossible.
