Welcome to The Most Remote Pub on Vancouver Island!

The Scarlet Ibis (est. 1973) is a little piece of history located in beautiful Holberg, which is the gateway to some of the most incredible beaches on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada…

Not only is The Scarlet Ibis a great place to stop to refuel after a long hike, but they’ve now added a place to stay the night. Recently added 6 cozy red cedar ‘Adventure Huts’ which are complete with bunkbeds from Single to Queen, access to on-site amenities such as showers, washrooms, even wifi, and of course the pub’s great menu, beverages, atmosphere and views of Holberg Inlet.

Getting to the Ibis requires driving 40 kms on a logging road so be sure to check out our Cape Scott Road Report for the current road conditions. (BACK ROAD TIP: Logging trucks have the right of way - so move on over!)
We hope you’ll explore The Scarlet Ibis next time you stop by this end of the Island.

P.S. If you’re unfamiliar with the area, or not comfortable to take your vehicle along the dirt roads, don’t worry, Cove Adventure Tours offers custom tours, and we can do the driving for you!

Grant Bay on a Beautiful Day!

We had a great trip to Grant Bay this weekend with an awesome group of people. The weather was perfect, the lunches were very tasty, and we all came home with big smiles on our faces! 

A long weekend at Raft Cove Provincial Park.

The Cove Adventure Tours crew just got home from an amazing long weekend at Raft Cove Provincial Park. We had all sorts of glorious (and some wet) weather and were able to have tons of beach fun. We surfed, walked the beach, checked out the stunning tidal pools, and cruised the river in canoes. We also had the fortune of watching a large group of grey whales hanging out in the bay on their journey north for the summer. We hope that everyone else enjoyed their weekend as much as us! 

We did it!

The site is live and we are ready to explore northern Vancouver Island with all of you! Our tours will start at the beginning of May and will continue to ramp up as summer begins. We would love to hear from you with any tour ideas or inspirations! Happy exploring from the crew at Cove Adventure Tours!
