Who We are

Walters Cove Resort is a luxurious fishing lodge located on the NW side of Vancouver Island in Kyuquot Sound. We provide a first class, all-inclusive fishing experience for salmon, halibut and bottom fish. Grady-White boats and both Abel and Avet Reels are an example of the top of the line equipment we provide. 

Our small, intimate lodge holds a maximum capacity of only 18 guests which allows us to provide exceptional customer service and cultural experiences such as our signature Beach BBQ. Not to mention access to the most consistent fishing on the West Coast!

We are part of the tourism division of the Ka:’yu:’k’t’h’/Che:k’les7et’h’ First Nations. (pronounced Ky-oo- kit Check-le- set). The lodge was first built in 2004 and has been operating successfully since. The Nation acquired the Resort in 2014 and through extensive renovations and equipment upgrades has consistently grown our position as a first-class fishing resort that caters to a worldwide audience.

Mission Statement
