What an amazing place!!! The lodge is situated right by the lake with a mountain background which is picture perfect.

The kayak rental was fairly priced and we got a very detailled instruction and helpful tipps. We are very glad that we got to stay at the lodge, also thanks to our lovely neighbours from Washington state, it was the perfect last stop on our...

Strathcona Provincial Park, located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, offers a breathtaking blend of rugged mountains, serene lakes, and lush forests. As the oldest provincial park in British Columbia, established in 1911, it encompasses a vast and diverse landscape. During my visit, I was mesmerized by the picturesque Della Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in Canada.

This place is incredible, I did Crest mountain the other day and the views were mind blowing. There was almost no one else on the mountain saw 4 other hikers and it feels as if you're in another world on the top , and there is thick forested mountains all round it looks as if you're in Peru or somewhere like that. Highly recommend it , not many people seem to go there either which is surprising considering it's unbelievable.
