Connecting people to the living world, fish and each other. Want a truly unique experience of the magical Galapagos Islands of the North? This hidden gem offers world class fishing, lush rainforests, ancient totems, secluded hiking trails and sandy beaches that will take your breath away. Book an island exploration with Queen Charlotte Safaris Lodge in one of the most beautiful sanctuary settings the west coast has to offer. What separates us from other fishing destinations is our protected waters and the opportunity to catch Chinook "King" Salmon all summer long, with no down time. Every salmon passing by our fishing grounds are feeding in our inlets and bays, then move onto their destination. These are "transitory salmon", this makes our fishing grounds very unique. In addition to our fantastic salmon fishing our coastline has numerous pinnacles and reefs; these areas provide the perfect habitat for Ling Cod and Halibut. Our beautiful, modern lodge build from Sandspit Cedar trees overlooks the picturesque Shingle Bay harbor. We will welcome you at the Sandspit Airport to transport you to the lodge that is three short miles away. The quaint town of Sandspit has only 11 miles of paved road, 2 stops signs and more eagles than residents. Once you arrive at the lodge you will settle in, enjoy some delicious hors d’oeuvres, take a walk on the beach, play horseshoes, shuffleboard or just relax. We proudly serve many dishes indigenous to the islands prepared by our chef and team. The heart of many places starts in the kitchen, we guarantee the food will be as memorable as the fishing! You will come for the fishing...You will come back for the memories...
