Things To Do

Artists' Studios

Exchange stories and enjoy talks with local First Nations artists and elders. Guests will visit with artists and elders while engaging in the work of the day: carving a totem pole, painting a killer whale, hanging smoked fish or talking about the ceremonies connected to each artistic creation. Guests will be invited to purchase gifts directly from the artist or place custom orders.

Boating

Enjoy the MV Eagle Spirit, a 24’ Striper built for the seas of the west coast. Watch for eagles, whales, bears and other local wildlife as you head to Ahousaht. Fish for the tyee while aboard. Harvest chiton from the ocean reefs... the way Ahousahts have done for 1000s of years- step off the canoe, step onto the reef, look around you - nothing but ocean. Paddle your way to their home on the west coast of Vancouver Island: Ahousat, BC. The Aborginal First Nations traditional territory of the Ahousaht includes Tofino, BC; Clayoqout Sound, a Unesco Biosphere; and north to Hot Springs Cove, BC.
