What to Expect

From the moment you arrive, the experience is intentionally curated; every sightline and every structure is designed to honour and preserve the land.

At points, Mamquam Falls rushes beside you, powerful and untamed, while the granite canyon walls frame the scene with stunning grandeur. Nestled deep within the rainforest, the Forest Lounge offers a place to pause. Little adventurers will enjoy the nature-inspired play area, while others can sit and enjoy an assortment of food and beverages.
