Just a short boat ride from the lodge you’ll enjoy a warm welcome from local First Nations, here at Friendly Cove. Traditionally known as Yuquot, where historically multiple tribes would gather during the summer harvest season as one large confederacy of strength, commerce and hospitality. This rich culture continues today with the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations opening up the Yuquot Historic Village site for the entire world to come and experience their history and culture. With fantastic forest walks and unique and spectacular beaches, this nearby beauty is a great place to check out during your stay. Ask our guides for more details or to take you on a short visit during one of your days on the water with us. It’s an unforgettable experience!

We acknowledge with respect the Nuu-Chah-Nulth peoples on whose traditional territory we visit, learn and play.
