National Geographic has recognized Klahoose Wilderness Resort as one of the seven best places to stay in Canada, highlighting it as the top choice for experiencing Indigenous culture.
National Geographic emphasized that choosing accommodations during a Canadian vacation involves more than just the comfort of the bed or quality of the pillows. “These seven lodgings, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, help visitors find authentic culture and inspiring adventures,” the publication stated.
Regarding Klahoose Wilderness Resort, National Geographic noted, “The resort is owned entirely by the Klahoose First Nation, and money spent here supports the preservation and protection of the land and its people. Wildlife experts lead guests on boat expeditions and trips out to viewing towers to safely watch whales or bears. In the evening, First Nations ambassadors engage visitors in activities such as cedar weaving, sweetgrass braiding, and smudging ceremonies, cultural traditions that predate Canada’s nationhood.”
Chris Tait, tourism manager for the resort, expressed the significance of this recognition in a media release. “Being included as one of the best places to stay in Canada means a great deal. Since 2021, our Klahoose team continues to set the bar higher, sharing authentic Indigenous culture with wildlife viewing at the all-inclusive resort. This recognition allows us to extend our invitation to travellers from around the world who seek purposeful authentic travel experiences.”
In addition to Klahoose Wilderness Resort, National Geographic’s list of best places to stay in Canada includes:
- Fogo Island Inn, Newfoundland
- Wander the Resort, Ontario
- Chelsea Hotel, Toronto
- Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, Montreal
- Glacier View Lodge, Alberta
- Muir Hotel, Halifax
The Klahoose First Nation territories extend from Cortes Island, opposite Quadra Island near Campbell River, to Toba Inlet, in proximity to the ʔop qaymɩxʷ (Homalco), kwɑːkjʊtəl (Kwakiutl), and ɬəʔamɛn qaymɩxʷ (Tla’amin) nations.
