Take a memorable journey into British Columbia’s wild west coast, where remote rainforest, pioneer grit, and garden magic come together. Fly from Gold River by Beaver aircraft into Hesquiat Harbour to spend the day with Cougar Annie’s Garden on a guided tour of the remarkable homestead carved from the wilderness by Ada Annie Rae-Arthur—famous for her fearless spirit, thriving nursery, and unforgettable encounters with cougars and bears. June is prime time to visit, when the garden bursts into full bloom, and the boardwalks are alive with colour. Stroll through lush plantings, explore Annie’s museum, and wander the “Walk of the Ancients” and Japanese garden as her extraordinary story unfolds around you. Please note: guests should be ready for a moderate garden walk and for boarding and stepping off a small float plane. Make Cougar Annie’s Garden your next British Columbia bucket-list experience.
