ENCHANTING FLOATING LODGE
Nestled on the remote, rugged shores of the Haida Gwaii archipelago, a stay at the Ocean House is a chance to connect with nature and immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Haida people.
Situated in a sheltered bay, this enchanting floating lodge provides the perfect combination of adventure, culture and luxurious relaxation. You’ll find yourself in the midst of spruce and cedar forests, with access to unspoilt beaches and ancient village sites. Whilst an off-the-beaten-path escape, the property has all the home comforts and comes complete with its own theatre, library, steam room, sauna and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Activities at this 100% Haida-owned property include trekking, kayaking, stand-up-paddle boarding, wildlife watching and fascinating cultural tours. When you’re not exploring the archipelago, you can take the time to unwind with an in-house spa treatment or catch on up some reading in the plush lounge. The resident chef prepares tantalising and creative dishes inspired by local ingredients and utilising seasonal vegetables and fresh seafood.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
