OUR CAMPS
We have six well-built camps accessed by floatplane.
Accommodations
Our connection with the land is important and something we like to share with our clients. Our accommodations reflect the beautiful and peaceful land we are on, whether it be through our log structure cabins or wall tents, we strive to provide a comfortable, yet, traditional experience.
HOW TO GET HERE
Guests fly in to Smithers Airport, located just a few kilometers out of town with daily service from Vancouver with Hawkair or Air Canada.
Our guides will pick you up from Smithers Airport and drive you to our floatplane launch on Tyhee Lake, approximately 20 minutes away. From here, it’s only a 20 to 30-minute floatplane trip with Alpine Lakes Air into our remote camp location.
