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. The journey begins on a low-impact boardwalk that floats above the forest floor, allowing you to explore without leaving a trace. 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. Young adventurers will enjoy the nature-inspired play area, while others can sit and enjoy an assortment of food and beverages.
