Getting Here

The easiest way to reach the Breakwater Lodge is to fly to Campbell River, British Columbia, where your package includes a scenic water taxi journey with Qaya Way West. For a quicker option, a 50-minute seaplane flight with our partner, Harbour Air, from Vancouver directly to the lodge can be arranged for an additional fee. Our reservations team is here to help coordinate your travel and make any custom arrangements.

  • A scenic journey from Campbell River with Qaya Way West, our preferred water taxi service, is included in your package, providing a seamless arrival to our doorstep. With convenient pick-up and drop-off days on Sundays and Thursdays, guests will enjoy a comfortable ride through the Discovery Islands, taking in the stunning coastal landscapes along the way.

  • For a stunning and convenient journey to the Breakwater Lodge, consider traveling by seaplane. We partner with Harbour Air for a direct flight from Vancouver that offers breathtaking views of British Columbia's coastline.

    The cost for a round-trip seaplane transfer is $7,030. Based on a group of six people, this equals $1,172 per person, each way.

    We recommend arriving at Vancouver Airport by early afternoon for a smooth transfer to the Harbour Air Terminal. The flight takes about 45 to 60 minutes, with return flights scheduled for late afternoon on your departure day. For a comfortable trip, please keep your baggage within a limit of 40 lbs (18 kg) per person.

What Our Guests Had to Say

  • Just reviewing your updated web site. It's really great but after our visit, I have to say the “real thing” is far superior! I loved looking at the fast flowing tide water from the lodge, never a dull moment with all the wildlife action; seals fishing and playing, sea lions, eagles parked there watching and fishing, but especially the fast moving water. The Lodge itself was really well done with a huge kitchen, dining table, bar and sitting room, all with the full length and height front windows so we didn't miss anything. We loved the salmons and ling-cods we caught along with the crabs. Thanks for packaging and freezing them for us. The scenery as we fished was spectacular, we could only dream of simply living there. And a special thanks to our fishing guide and his lovely partner, they did a spectacular job!

  • When you’re not fishing you’re starring out at the current watching seals play, eagles hunt and sea lions cruise. The west coast style cozy lodge has all the comforts of home but nestled in the beautiful nature of the coast. The staff were phenomenal both on an off the water. Highly recommend.

  • After 3 nights at Breakwater lodge I did not want to leave. The lodge is located in such a beautiful location -with seals and sea lions in the changing tide waters in front of the lodge and eagles and oyster catchers to entertain us. We fished: caught Chinook salmon, lingcod and even saw a grizzly bear while setting crab traps. That is not all…..

    M. Wick

  • Excellent views and atmosphere, experienced guides helped us with incredible multi species angling opportunities. No better place on the west coast to enjoy an evening beverage. We can’t wait to come back soon.
