Tweedsmuir Park Lodge Luxury lodge offering wilderness retreats and grizzly bear viewing in Bella Coola Valley, British Columbia. NEW! We are now Climate Positive (i.e. Join us.

we offset more than we emit)! The historic Tweedsmuir Park Lodge, set on 60 acres of private land within the vast wilderness of British Columbia's largest protected park, is the ideal setting for your wilderness adventures and experiences. Originally built in 1929 as a hunting and fishing lodge, today the lodge accommodates those seeking out a more eco-friendly adventure as well as a relaxing refuge from the pressures of modern life. The surrounding environment is stunning. Rising above the valley floor are the majestic Coast Mountains, to the west is the largest fjord system in the Americas, and to the east the high Chilcotin Plateau. It is a bio-diverse and spectacular wilderness, home to the totemic wildlife of the Great Bear Rainforest. Our lodge borders the Atnarko River and in the fall the Grizzly Bears come down to feast on the spawning Salmon. We are smack in the middle of what is one of the healthiest bear habitats in the world and often the bears can be seen wandering past the lodge. Sometimes we even catch them napping on the lawn. All accommodation at the Tweedsmuir Park Lodge is in one of ten private chalets with the main lodge providing lots of common space for dining, games, and socializing. It is perfect set up for family reunions and corporate groups, which can book the full premises, yet intimate enough that the individual traveler and smaller groups will feel at home. The focus throughout is on great service, and an authentic, welcoming Canadian hospitality. Although the lodge and the entire Bella Coola Valley are geographically remote, it is nevertheless easy and convenient to make your way to our door step. At Tweedsmuir Park Lodge we are lucky to live in a stunning and pristine environment and have a wonderful community supporting us. We are committed to keeping it that way and ask all our guests to participate in our environmental stewardship initiatives to ensure that Bella Coola continues to be the most extraordinary place in the world to enjoy the great outdoors. Your expectations will be surpassed!!

A little look back at what we've seen in the Bella Coola Valley recently. 🐻🦅

From grizzlies to the smaller moments that are easy to miss, there’s always something moving, wandering, swimming, or watching from the sidelines out here.

Scroll through for a few of this week’s wildlife highlights from the Great Bear Rainforest.

A trip to Tweedsmuir is more than checking a few experiences off the list.

Staying a little longer means more time to explore the Bella Coola Valley, more opportunities for wildlife viewing, and more flexibility to let the days unfold in front of you.

One day might mean heading out on the Atnarko River in search of grizzlies. The next could take you onto the water, down a forest trail, or somewhere completely unexpected. And then there's always the option of doing absolutely nothing for a while.

Today, we pause to reflect, listen, and learn.

We have been fortunate to work alongside Copper Sun Journeys, and especially Shanti, who guided guests at the Lodge for many years and so beautifully shared Nuxalk traditions and teachings.

Today we want to express our gratitude to Shanti and Copper Sun Journeys for the time, care, and knowledge they have shared with us and our guests.

Tweedsmuir Park Lodge is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Nuxalk and Ulkatcho Nations. During the winter, our operations also extend across the territories of the Tsilhqot’in, Heiltsuk, We Wai Kai, Wuikinuxw, Xwemalhkwu (Homalco), and Da’naxda’xw/Awaetlala First Nations.

We invite our community to take time today, and throughout the year, to learn more about the lands they live and work on and the Indigenous communities who have cared for these lands since long before our arrival. We recognize that we don't always get it right, and that listening, learning, and building relationships must be an ongoing practice.

Ever wonder what our guides are paying attention to before a grizzly comes into view on the Atnarko River?

Even when a bear is right in front of us on the riverbank, their coat blends so naturally into the brush that they can be remarkably hard to spot. That's why our most valuable tool isn't always our eyes, it's our ears.

While fresh tracks on the sand or a new salmon carcass show us bears are in the area, the real moment of truth is often a single branch snapping in the woods or birds suddenly calling out overhead.

There’s something pretty special about seeing a grizzly bear in the wild.

During the annual salmon run, the Bella Coola Valley becomes an incredible place to experience these animals in their natural habitat. Tweedsmuir’s Grizzly Bear Safari takes guests out onto the river and into the rainforest, with guided excursions offering opportunities to see grizzlies while taking in the surrounding landscape.

It’s a chance to spend a few days immersed in the Great Bear Rainforest, with plenty of time to explore, take in the scenery and enjoy the experience at a slower pace.

October is a wonderful time to visit and experience the Bella Coola Valley. 🐻

As the season begins to change, the last of the grizzly bears continue to roam through the Valley, making October an exceptional time to enjoy the wildlife and natural beauty of the Great Bear Rainforest.

We have a limited number of dates remaining this October, from October 9–16, with 3, 4 and 5-night packages available.

If you have been considering a visit to Tweedsmuir, we would love to welcome you this fall.

Summer in the Bella Coola Valley is something truly special. 🌲

The season brings long days spent exploring the valley, time on the water, peaceful moments surrounded by nature, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

But it’s also the simple moments that make a stay memorable. Sharing a meal at the lodge, getting to know our guides and staff, meeting fellow guests, or simply taking in the mountains from the comfort of the lodge.

Here are a few moments from summer at Tweedsmuir that we’ve loved sharing with our guests.

Sharing the wilderness with bears begins with awareness, preparation, and respect. 🐻

At the lodge, guest safety and bear welfare are at the heart of every wildlife experience. Our guided adventures are led by CBVA-certified guides and follow BC Parks approved protocols to help ensure safe and responsible bear viewing.

Whether it's making noise while hiking, staying alert for signs of bear activity, respecting wildlife from a distance, or following local guidance, understanding these simple principles helps protect both people and bears.
