Why Book a Wilderness Lodge with EpicBuzz

Every resort on this list is set where cell signals drop and wild instincts kick in.

These are true nature-first stays, picked for their proximity to wildlife, trail networks, and unfiltered landscapes.

We scout for lodges that offer more than just quiet — we want access to moose crossings, grizzly zones, wolf territory, and bird migration paths.

Each listing connects to the natural rhythms of the land — not the rhythm of room service.

Featured Wilderness & Wildlife Lodges in Canada

Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort – British Columbia

You arrive by floatplane or helicopter. What greets you is rainforest, rugged shoreline, and the stillness of a place where nature leads. Nimmo Bay is a remote, high-end wilderness lodge tucked into the Great Bear Rainforest. It’s known for helicopter-assisted hiking, grizzly sightings, and off-grid comfort done right.

Price per night: $1,200+ (all-inclusive)

Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia

Blachford Lake Lodge – Northwest Territories

This fly-in eco-lodge is your front-row seat to northern wildlife, aurora skies, and endless lakefront silence. In summer: paddling, foraging, and hikes. In fall and winter: ice roads, frozen lakes, and the kind of stars you only see this far north. No roads. No noise. Just raw nature and a warm stove.

Price per night: $750+ (includes transport)

Near Yellowknife, NWT

Tweedsmuir Park Lodge – British Columbia

If you’ve ever wanted to watch a grizzly cross a salmon stream from your porch — this is the place. Located in the Bella Coola Valley, this wilderness lodge is one of the safest and most consistent places in Canada to spot bears. Guided tours run all season, and the landscape is as cinematic as it gets.

Price per night: $475+

Bella Coola Valley, British Columbia

Mingan Archipelago Lodge – Quebec

This quiet island chain off the Gulf of St. Lawrence is where seabirds, seals, and whales set the pace. Stay in a small coastal inn or ecolodge, then paddle between monoliths, photograph puffins, or walk driftwood trails with no one else in sight. It's one of Canada's least-known coastal gems.

Price per night: $240+

North Shore, Quebec

Manitoulin Eco Park – Ontario

This dark-sky preserve and wilderness park is home to wolves, beavers, owls, and pristine boreal forest. You can camp, glamp, or stay in basic off-grid cabins — either way, you’ll wake up to birdsong and fall asleep to a sky thick with stars. Bonus: guided wildlife tracking tours and telescope nights.

Price per night: $140+

Manitoulin Island, Ontario

Eagle Plains Hotel – Yukon

A strange and brilliant mix of outpost, wildlife station, and lodge — the Eagle Plains Hotel is the only place to stop along the Dempster Highway between Dawson City and Inuvik. It’s bare-bones but legendary, with caribou migrations, bear sightings, and wolf tracks just beyond the gravel.

Price per night: $190+

Eagle Plains, Yukon

Algonquin Eco-Lodge – Ontario

This fully off-grid stay sits deep inside Ontario’s most iconic provincial park. There’s no road access — just a 2.5 km walk or ski in. Once there, you're in pure moose and loon country. Hiking, snowshoeing, and wildlife tracking are all steps from the main lodge. Expect wood stoves, lanterns, and silence.

Price per night: $165+ (includes all meals)

Algonquin Park, Ontario

Lazy Bear Lodge – Manitoba

Based in Churchill, this warm and rustic log lodge is your launch point for polar bear safaris and beluga watching on Hudson Bay. Summer brings thousands of white whales to the river. Fall is prime for bear encounters. And all year long, you’re surrounded by raw tundra and northern prairie light.

Price per night: $410+

Churchill, Manitoba

Where Nature Comes First

This is where the grid ends and the wild begins. These wilderness lodges aren’t about hiding from the world — they’re about reconnecting to it. If you’re here, you’re watching migrations, tracking moose prints, hearing wolves at night, or kayaking beside seals. No schedules. No distractions. Just nature doing its thing.

Booking Tips for Wilderness Retreats

Book early if you're after prime wildlife seasons: spring for bears, late summer for whales, fall for moose rut.

Fly-in lodges often have limited availability — plan 6–12 months out.

Bring binoculars, insect repellent, neutral clothing, and waterproof boots.

For remote access: fly into Yellowknife, Churchill, Whitehorse, or Bella Coola depending on region.
