Grizzly Encounters with Homalco First Nation
From August to October, the salmon run up the Orford River. Witnessing the grizzly bears’ feast on the salmon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Homalco People, also known as the “people of the fast-running waters,” have been stewards of these lands and waters since time immemorial. Walk in the footsteps of Homalco’s ancestors and see the majestic beauty of grizzly bears through their eyes.
Fawn Bluff guests enjoy the unique opportunity to visit Orford Bay privately.
West Coast Cuisine
West Coast cuisine is committed to organic, local, and responsibly sourced ingredients. At Fawn Bluff, we take ‘local’ very seriously! We are food-passionate and love to cook as much as we can with ingredients from our own harvesting, forest forages, and on-site greenhouse growth.
From an early morning fishing session to a foraging hike with our chef and family-style service, our cuisine is all about sharing.
The selection of BC wines and cocktails are all-inclusive.
