Oona River is a remote community located on Porcher Island, 40km away from the town of Prince Rupert. There are no stores, pharmacies or restaurants in the community. The Oona River Community Center houses a fully equipped first aid room. In the event of an emergency, BC Air Ambulance will transport patients directly to Prince Rupert Regional Hospital.

Most cellular providers have strong coverage in the heart of the community. All accommodations and the workshop space fall within this area. This means calls, texts, and data can be used as normal. 

​

Most accommodations have Wi-Fi provided, but please see each specific listing to ensure your accommodation has Wi-Fi. 

Please contact us with your dietary needs during registration, and we will do our very best to accommodate you.

Our menu is intentionally planned to include delicious seasonal favourites and contemporary flavours. Enjoy snacks, coffee, and tea available throughout the day.

Our Craft Retreats and Art Workshops are designed for participants 19+.

Possibly. Although there is very little traffic, all of the roads in Oona River are unpaved and therefore uneven, which some guests may find challenging. Those with limited mobility may have difficulty getting in and out of the float plane as well as accessing lofted sleeping areas in some of the cabins.

​

Craft Retreats include a moderate hike and nature walk; both are completely optional. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns and we'd be happy to discuss your specific situation. 

Yes, we do custom workshops! Please reach out for more information regarding corporate retreats and private events.
