“Into the wild,” captioned Marsden in the Instagram carousel, headlined by a photo of the X-Men star onboard a boat on the lodge’s private lake.
Nestled along the stunning Bedwell River, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is a seasonal retreat for those who crave adventure without giving up some luxury.
From its one-of-a-kind tented lodgings to its dedication to nature conservation, every detail at Clayoquot Lodge is unforgettable — even the journey to get there, whether by a scenic 45-minute seaplane from Vancouver or a rugged 35-minute boat ride from Tofino’s shores.

Visitors at Clayoquot have a variety of activities to choose from, including horseback riding, canyoning, heli-hiking, or whale watching.
Marsden posted pictures of himself on horseback, getting views of orcas and bears, and even taking a dip in the lake.
