“King Pacific Lodge has long been noted for its luxury and quality.

King Pacific Lodge is anchored in Barnard Harbor along the shores of Princess Royal Island in British Columbia, Canada; a 2 ½ hour transfer by private charter from Vancouver. The island has no permanent inhabitants or structures and this highly sensitive environment is in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, the world’s largest remaining tract of temperate rainforest. The floating luxury wilderness lodge is built of native pine, fir, cedar and stone and offers only 17 guest-rooms and suites, a wrap-around deck with spectacular views along with award winning cuisine and spa.
