Following the success of our 2026 expeditions, we are excited to announce that we’ll be hosting two expeditions in 2027! We would love for you to join us and experience a place that has grown incredibly dear to our hearts.

We’ll be hosting expeditions from May 27-May 31, 2027 and May 31 - June 4, 2027. Everyone will meet in Vancouver (YVR) and travel by plane and boat to Berry Island, where we’ll spend our time exploring the area, spotting wildlife, sharing meals, and getting to know one another in a truly special setting.

Please see the details below for pricing, itinerary, and additional information. We can’t wait to spend this time with you.

Much love,
Jessica & Garrett

Getting There

Airfare to Vancouver (YVR) is not included, but round-trip Pacific Coastal flights between YVR and Port Hardy, plus transfers to the lodge, are included in your expedition.

Sample Itinerary (5 days, 4 nights)

Day 1

Your journey begins in Vancouver at YVR, where you’ll board a domestic flight to Port Hardy, and then transfer by ground and boat to Berry Island. Upon arrival, take a moment to relax and soak in your surroundings. After a light refreshment and a brief welcome orientation, you’ll have time to settle into your accommodations before heading out for an afternoon marine tour. You'll search for marine wildlife in the vibrant waters surrounding the lodge and return to the lodge by 4:30 pm, just in time to enjoy our '5 pm swim club'!

Day 2

Breakfast is served at 7:00 am. After breakfast, you’ll meet on the dock at 8:00 am for a full-day bear viewing adventure. You’ll head to one of several estuaries or rivers, where viewing may take place from a crew boat, small zodiac, or on foot, depending on the tide and conditions.

You’ll return to the lodge around 4:30 pm, for optional swim club, followed by a buffet dinner an evening presentation and games if you’re not too tired.

Day 3

Breakfast is served at 7:00 am, followed by a full-day coastal safari, often a guest favorite. You’ll explore the islands and waterways of the Broughton Archipelago in search of marine life and black bears, letting the day unfold as wildlife leads the way.

You’ll enjoy lunch on the boat, then spend the afternoon on a peaceful rainforest hike on one of the nearby islands.

You’ll return to the lodge around 4:30 pm for dinner and the evening program.

Day 4

Breakfast is served at 7:00 am, followed by a day spent on and around Berry Island. You’ll start the morning with a sea kayaking excursion in the protected, crystal-clear waters near Berry Island Wilderness Lodge. From there, you’ll head out for a crabbing and fishing experience, then return to the lodge where the chef will prepare your fresh catch for lunch.

In the afternoon, you’ll unwind at the lodge and explore all Berry Island has to offer. The day wraps up with dinner and the evening program.

Day 5

Breakfast is served at 7:00 am, followed by check out and a short morning excursion before your flight back to YVR.
