Our Vancouver Island Guide Outfitters operation is known through out the hunting community for its great service, excellent hunting, and safe and ethical practices.

Where you will stay

Hunting Lodge

Accommodation in Port Alberni is the private and comfortable Riverside Lodge. The Riverside’s massive log framed great room is the center of the action during the hunt. Morning breakfast and evening dinners are served in the great room. Hunters re-live the day’s adventure around the soaring stone fireplace or relaxing in the fresh air on the rear deck. The Riverside offers 10 guest rooms and private baths. Some of our hunters venture into the farther reaches of our guide area and in those cases we make arrangements with local lodges and hotels to host our hunters. In the more remote areas accommodation can be rustic cabins or camps for short stays.
