Flight Details
Just a quick reminder about our direct flights to the lodge from Vancouver on Seair Seaplanes.
The chartered planes to the lodge leave Vancouver at 9:45AM precisely. Check-in is at 8:45AM.
You need to arrive in Vancouver on your departure day by 8:00AM to leave enough time to change terminals and also to allow for flight delays.
You cannot miss our chartered flight or you will have to pay to fly yourself in to the lodge. It is better to plan to come in the night before and stay in a hotel overnight in Vancouver (details below). On your return you will be back in Vancouver by approximately 3:00PM.
We recommend that you DO NOT book any flights out of Vancouver before 5:00PM on your return day.
All the details, including our recommendations for overnight accommodations in Vancouver
can be found here.
Guests that have already booked can find information on their trip here.

Rigging Up The Lodge
Our associate of more that 30 years, John Salo will be starting his journey to Rivers Inlet very soon.
John does many things for us, not the least of which is towing the lodge back & forth from Sunshine Bay to Sportsman’s Bay for winter/summer moorage. He tows the lodge buildings one or two at a time through the islands (see photo above) to avoid the possibility of an ocean swell. Once in place at Sportsman’s Bay, Simon & his rig-up crew arrive in the guide boats from Port Hardy to help John set up the the necessary resources such as water, electricity from the generators, propane, Internet. There are several contractors/inspectors who help us get BC provincial permits who also need to get to the lodge: electrical, gas, water, safety, health etc. As you can imagine, in the weeks before our guests arrive there has been a lot of work done.
This year, we have contracted for a new & larger flash freezer to be installed. A new fish cleaning table has been designed & is being manufactured. Two of the Whaler guide boats will have new motors. A professional painter will paint all the buildings. Over the winter, several of the guest boats – Stingers – have been refurbished in Campbell River & will be brought in by barge to Sportsman’s Bay in Rivers Inlet. Xplornet Communications have more satellites, so we need a whole new system installed by them – one of their contractors will be flying into the lodge to erect two new satellite dishes, modems, wiring etc. We expect to have more broadband but not enough to download movies!
