The drive to Whistler offers a first proper taste of British Columbia’s incredible scenery, travelling north for 2 hours on the Sea to Sky Highway with mountains on your right and Howe Sound on your left.

This wilderness lodge is located on the border of the Broughton Archipelago Marine Provincial Park; a protected wildlife area. Farewell Harbour is family owned and operated. You will enjoy exclusive opportunities with first-class naturalist guides to view grizzly bears, whales, dolphins, eagles and much more.  With only 12 cabins, you’ll feel like the only person in the world in this pristine wilderness.
