AUTHENTIC CANADIAN WILDERNESS LODGE
Set against the natural beauty of the Southern Chilcotin Mountains, this picturesque wooden lodge is the premier destination for backcountry adventure in Canada.
Just three hours north of Whistler, you’ll find Tyax Lodge tucked in amongst towering trees on the shores of Tyaughton Lake. Mountain biking, horse riding, hiking and floatplane tours offer limitless possibilities for adventure, but Tyax’s main claim to fame is its heli-skiing. With access to 830,000 acres of ski terrain, over 350 runs and some epic powder snow, there’s enough to satisfy even the most seasoned pro. Guests also benefit from the exclusivity of single group heli-skiing, which eliminates waiting times at the bottom of your run.
During the summer, the lake provides an alternative source of adventure, with canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards at your service. After a long day of activities, return to a crackling open log fire and a delicious three-course meal. Any sore muscles can be soothed by trained masseurs at the spa, or with a soak in the outdoor hot tub.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
