00:00This remote luxury lodge will take you flying over glaciers, forests, and wildlife on one of Canada's most beautiful islands.
00:05Our helicopter's behind us. Our guide is climbing around the rocks like a monkey.
00:09Clackwatt Wilderness Lodge is a tented camp in the forests around Clackwatt Sound, a scenic UNESCO site on Vancouver Island along the Pacific Coast.
00:16The tents are huge, with propane stoves, views out over a sparkling estuary with lots of birds, and insanely soft wolf rows to keep things cozy.
00:23You can hike the old-growth forests in the Ursus Valley, which reminds me of the enchanted mossy forest of the movie Princess Mononoke.
00:29The lodge also gets you up close and personal with wildlife.
00:31On boat rides throughout the Sound, you can see black bears, gray whales, and dozens of bird species on the water.
00:36Or you can kayak alongside harbor porpoises and otters.
00:39But the best experience by far has to be the epic helicopter rides over the wilderness.
00:43You'll soar over blue lakes, glaciers, and the tallest trees in the entire forest.
00:47All of this adventure, mixed with luxurious digs, is my idea of a perfect vacation.
