What we stand for

Vision

Our vision is to preserve ecological health by providing a comfortable space for people to relax, learn, and play in a nature-based setting. Spending time in nature deepens our sense of connection to the ecosystems we inhabit, and leaves us more inclined to preserve these ecosystems.   

What We Offer

Experience & Location

We are located on the beautiful shoreline of Vargas Island, just a 15 minute boat ride from Tofino, British Columbia. With a fine balance of remoteness, accessibility and comfort, our off-grid retreat centre is ideally situated for nature-based field trips, retreats, workshops, weddings and private gatherings.
