Soule Creek Adventure Lodge is an expression of Pacheedaht First Nation culture – fully owned and operated by the nation.
We invite you to join us for an all-inclusive adventure and cultural retreat of two or more nights.
During your time with us you will retreat from our busy world to a serene location perched on the San Juan Ridge, within our ancestral lands on the farthest southwest coast of Vancouver Island. Each day, you will feed your soul with adventures, wellness classes, and cultural experiences led by members of the Pacheedaht First Nation, returning to the lodge for a communal three-course dinner rich in local ingredients and traditional foods.
In the evening, you will retire to a comfortable yurt or cabin, or in one of our guest rooms in the lodge. In the mornings, you can sip great coffee or smoothies on your private deck, or in the lodge’s great room – all overlooking stunning vistas of ocean and forest.
Every retreat is unique. Some are adventure-forward. Others, a focus on mindfulness and wellness. You might take a yoga class on the beach in the early morning, experience a class from a traditional wellness practitioner, or enjoy a salmon bake in the evening. You might take a walking tour of old growth forests and culturally-modified trees, and learn about our traditional uses for cedar and medicinal plants. You might paddle down the Jordan River in a kayak or a large canoe made from a single cedar log in our traditional ways, designed for long-distance travel and whale hunting. You might spend an evening listening to a knowledge-keeper or storyteller from our community.
You can join us an individual, couple, or small group for one of our pre-established retreats, or get in touch if you have a larger group and would like us to work with you to build something special. We welcome corporate, government, post-secondary, family, and community groups.
Whatever retreat you attend, we promise great coffee and adventures you will remember.
Perched 200 m above sea level on the San Juan Ridge with 160 private acres bordering Provincial Park lands, our view shows very few signs of civilization, making it a great place to feel "away from it all". Catch incredible sunsets, gaze at the Milky Way on clear nights, glimpses of local wildlife while only a 10 minute drive to “downtown” Port Renfrew.
The lodge is quiet, a place to escape from the frantic pace of 21st century life. We only wish we could have planned for another day and night there. TripAdvisor Review |
