About wilderness lodges in Canada

WHY SHOULD YOU GO TO A WILDERNESS LODGE IN CANADA?

Lodging with Fireplace

Canada is famed for its wild and untouched nature. If you’re looking for a true Canadian adventure, spending your holiday in a remote wilderness lodge will give you just that. Aside from the countless health benefits of spending time outdoors, wilderness lodges also offer you the unique opportunity to craft a holiday itinerary that is perfect for you and your family.

Depending on your chosen destination and time of the year, wilderness lodges usually have an abundance of outdoor activities for you to choose from. You can hike in the wild and explore the surrounding area, spot a grizzly bear or moose, and go fishing, kayaking, or rafting during the summer months. In the winter, some wilderness lodges offer dog sledding, a Northern Lights hunt or snowmobile tours, while most of them will provide ice fishing, snowshoeing, wildlife and bird watching activities.

You won’t need to plan extensively if you decide to spend your holidays in a wilderness lodge in Canada’s northern regions. Here, you have plenty of meal, activities, and accommodation options available for you during your stay. We want you to enjoy a carefree time in nature with your family, which is why we offer all-inclusive packages.

Our lodges are located out in the wild, where lights from the city don’t pollute the night sky and your chances of spotting auroras increase.
