Attractions;
Situated on the open Pacific Ocean, Ucluelet is nestled between the two main sections of the world famous Pacific Rim National Park. The Broken Islands to the south and miles of sandy shoreline to the north. Whale watching, fishing, hiking, golfing, cycling, kayaking, surfing, and storm watching are some of the year-round attractions Ucluelet has to offer. Part of the temperate coastal rainforest, this region contains a countless variety of plant, marine and animal life including the indigenous species of Bald Eagles and Ospreys.

The He-Tin-Kis Lodge is adjacent to the Wild Pacific Trail. Suites are walking distance from some of the most breathtaking natural scenery including the renowned Amphitrite Point and its historic lighthouse.

History;
Ucluelet (You-Clue-Let), named by the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Indians, means "safe harbour." Having been inhabited by the Nuu-chah-nulth people for thousands of years, the territory has a significant history. A rich natural eco system evolved as Vancouver Island became isolated from the mainland, retaining a great diversity of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish species. Located 62 miles west of Port Alberni and 26 miles South of Tofino, Ucluelet has long been known as the Gateway to the Pacific Rim.

The scenic seaside village of almost 2000 is embraced by mountains and dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean.

Storm Watching;
Pacific storms create ideal conditions for dramatic waves.
Enormous breakers pound the rocky coast, sometimes sending waves into the trees. Spectacular storm watching can be had from the privacy of your own oceanfront suite at The He-Tin-Kis Lodge. You’ll be amazed by the intensity of the winter weather, and the magnitude of the waves. The lodge offers front row seats for storm watching.
