Khutzeymateen Wilderness Lodge

Sheltered by the Coast Mountains on British Columbia’s wild north coast, just south of the Alaska panhandle, lies the K'tzim-a-deen (Khutzeymateen) Inlet. Here, within the traditional territory of the Tsimshian Nations, lives a healthy and indomitable population of coastal grizzly bears.

Located within this unique conservancy and grizzly bear sanctuary, the Khutzeymateen Wilderness Lodge is your home in the rainforest where you can visit with the incredible grizzly bears in their wild habitat.

Spend your day viewing the grizzly bears, bald eagles, seabirds and waterfalls. In the evening you can kayak or paddleboard, enjoy a cedar sauna, watch the wildlife in the bay or read a book around the campfire. Fall asleep to the splash of the seals under a warm duvet.

Khutzeymateen Wilderness Lodge is the only permitted lodge within the Khutzeymateen Protected Area. Our floating lodge lets you enjoy cozy comfort in the rainforest with room to stretch out and appreciate the quiet.

Bear Viewing

View grizzly bears in their natural range and habitat. Enjoy intimate moments with the great brown bears and experience the diverse ecology of a pristine coastal ecosystem.

Adventure Activities

Take out a stand up paddle board and search for sea stars and sea cucumbers.

Kayak alongside the steep rock walls of the inlet to waterfalls - sometimes a harbour seal comes along with you.

Whale Watching

July through September is a great time to view humpback whales feeding at the nearby entrance of Work Channel. Killer whales occasionally visit the Khutzeymateen Inlet.

Tsimshian Culture

The K'tzim-a-deen is within the traditional territory of the Gitsi'is Tribe of the Allied Tsimshian Tribes. The Gitsi'is Tribe and Lax Kw'alaams Band work with the Ministry of Environment to collaboratively manage the park and conservancy. You will meet the K'tzim-a-deen Rangers, learn about their culture and how the area is managed.
