Embark on the New Travel Trend of Soft-Travel at Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge

In a world where traveling is traditionally associated with a fast-paced, go-getter lifestyle where doing as much as possible and covering as much ground as possible is the norm, soft-travel is disrupting this trend. This new trend, soft-travel, allows travelers flexibility, in which they don’t have to live up to the pressures often associated with being outdoors or trying challenging activities. Instead, soft-travel encourages people to move at their own pace and enjoy the moment for what it is. Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, the iconic eco-safari lodge nestled on the banks of Canada’s remote wilderness, exemplifies this trend in its ethos, offering guests a breathtaking setting to indulge in all types of outdoor, adventure travel while soaking up Vitamin ‘N’ for nature.

At Clayoquot, travelers who are looking to experience the wonderful wilderness journey at their own pace can do just that. Encouraging travelers to find balance, reconnect with nature, and prioritize well-being is exactly what the team at Clayoquot does best. A sampling of the experiences available for guests to embark on their wildest soft-travel dreams are included below:

  • Ground the body and mind by participating in the new Glacial Plunge, led by a certified instructor in the Clayoquot Sound glacier fed rivers. This new offering provides the opportunity for guests to reconnect with nature and an immediate energy boost, additional benefits include improved sleep, decreased inflammation, reduced stress and a strengthened immune response.
  • Enjoy fresh, farm-to-table cuisine that uses locally sourced, sustainable produce to offer a real taste of the destination.
  • Become one with nature and receive your dose of Vitamin ‘N’ (Nature) as you follow the banks of the Bedwell River on a hike coursing through the rainforest. Paths of cedar boardwalk trails lead travelers through ancient forest cathedrals and lush fern gardens, while abandoned roads deep in the rainforest showcase old-growth, new growth and re-forested landscapes, home to abundant wildlife.
  • Take in the wild landscape on horseback, covering a diverse range of terrain, from river valley meadows, old-growth forest and Jurassic fern gardens to glacial river crossings.
  • Enjoy luxurious and restorative treatments for the body, mind and soul in a sublime wilderness setting at Clayoquot’s Healing Grounds Spa.
