Introduction
As the longest fjord on the BC coast, Knight Inlet offers visitors spectacular scenery set against a backdrop of dramatic mountain peaks plunging into the Pacific Ocean.
This floating lodge is tucked into Glendale Cove, which offers one of the few protected anchorages in the inlet, and it is here that you will begin each day’s adventure.
This pristine wilderness is the native habitat of the grizzly bear, which you will seek out on wildlife viewing expeditions. Bear viewing is by boat from a platform, depending on the season. The only neighbours are the bears, mountain goats, otters, seals and eagles that all make the inlet their home. The lodge is finished with western cedar board to give it a real west coast British Columbia look and feel. There are two outside deck areas, one complete with gas fireplace, for relaxing on those warm summer evenings.
The lodge’s 18 guest rooms feature comfortable queen size beds and private washrooms with showers. There are a limited number of rooms with bunk beds for families looking to share a room, as well as rooms large enough for a roll away bed to be added.
