We’re located on beautiful Denny Island, just a few kilometres East of Bella Bella on Campbell Island, in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest.

Our Island is remote, but accessible. You can fly here directly from Vancouver South Terminal in 1hr10, or you can hop on BC Ferries from Port Hardy, Prince Rupert, or Bella Coola.

To note: If you’re driving from Port Hardy or Prince Rupert, please note that you will need to book the connecting ferry over to Shearwater. If you’re walking on the ferry from Port Hardy or Prince Rupert, you can catch the Seabus over to Shearwater once you arrive in Bella Bella. The ferry from Bella Coola comes right to Shearwater.

Guest Information

The information below covers questions guests commonly ask before their stay. If your question isn’t answered here, please reach out to sales@shearwater.ca. We are happy to help.
Dietary requirements
Please share any dietary requirements at the time of booking, or in advance of your arrival, by contacting sales@shearwater.ca. We do our best to accommodate using available regional produce. Because of our remote location, strict religious or preferred meal observances cannot always be guaranteed.
Accessibility
A fairly high level of mobility is essential to access many parts of Shearwater Resort and its facilities. Reaching the property requires embarking and disembarking vessels onto floating docks, and pathways between the resort and surrounding areas include dirt roads and hills if you plan to do any exploring.
Very few areas of Shearwater Resort are wheelchair accessible. If you have mobility considerations, please contact us directly so we can discuss what is possible.
Connectivity
Cellular service is limited at Shearwater Resort. Complimentary Wi-Fi is provided in all rooms, though connections may be slower than you are accustomed to given our remote location.
