It is also one of the coasts' most productive bottom fishing areas, producing halibut to over 200 pounds and a variety of rock fish.
Dive in the pristine waters at Duval Point Lodge. Experience kelp forests, and an abundance of sea life - wolf eels, ling cod, rock fish, sponges, anenomes and more. Duval Point Lodge is located near Port Hardy on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island.


Duval Point Lodge, nestled in a protected bay about 15 minutes by boat from Port Hardy, on northern Vancouver Island, is only minutes away from prime fishing areas. Located at the northern end of Johnstone Strait, Duval Point Lodge is in an area through which virtually all of the millions of salmon which migrate down from the north Pacific each year must pass. It is also one of the coasts' most productive bottom fishing areas, producing ling cod up to 70 pounds, halibut to over 200 pounds and a variety of rock fish.

Port Hardy can be reached via the Island Highway or scheduled air service. If you have the time, the day's drive from Victoria or Nanaimo to Port Hardy takes you along the coast and through the famous coastal rainforests. The scenery is beautiful. However, if you are more pressed for time, the flight from Vancouver takes only 55 minutes.
