Paddlers Inn – Hand‑Crafted Float‑House & Shoreline Cabins in the Broughton Archipelago

Discover a truly immersive wilderness experience at Paddlers Inn, nestled in Simoom Sound within the pristine Broughton Archipelago, off the northeastern coast of Vancouver Island. Accessible only by water taxi from Port McNeill aboard their MOT-certified vessel, the beachside cabins and float-houses transport you to a serene retreat where nature takes center stage.

Stay in thoughtfully crafted accommodations, float-house lodge for groups, cozy shoreline or cliffside cabins, each with full kitchens, hot showers, comfortable beds, and stunning views—all set to the soundtrack of forest and sea. The inn has earned a Gold rating from Green Tourism Canada, underscoring its eco-conscious design and commitment to low-impact travel.

Experience wilderness adventures with sea kayaking, boating, guided shoreline hikes, and abundant wildlife—whales, sea lions, porpoises, otters, black bears, and eagles are all frequent guests. Enhance your stay with rejuvenating acupressure and Esalen massage offered on site, provided by experienced, registered therapist Bruce.
