Discovery Islands Lodge is a former fishing camp that was totally renovated to serve as a lodge, both for kayakers leaving from the premise, daytrippers as well as a stop over for kayakers on their way through the area. The rooms are immaculate, everything is super clean, the views from each room fantastic. The bathrooms are shared and the kitchen and common area is above the rooms, so do not expect to sleep in here. The staff treated us like family, actually better. The breakfast was home cooked and wonderful. We stayed the night and did an easy day trip locally. Saw lots of wildlife, the paddling was really easy due to the guides excellent route planning, got a delicious lunch underway. All in all fantastic. It takes a while to get out to the lodge, 45 minutes from the ferry, after making it up 1/2 of Vancouver Island, so at least 2 ferries but it is really worth the trip. Even if you are not kayaking, the lodge is beautifully located, the atmosphere serene and you can see it all from the beautiful deck.
