  • Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation(Tofino area): Features stays at Tin Wis Resort, the Big Tree Trail, cedar weaving workshops, and the signature naaʔuu experience.
  • Huu-ay-aht First Nations (Bamfield area): Highlights camping at Pachena Bay Campground and Kiixin Tours.
  • Toquaht Nation: Showcases Secret Beach Campground and kayak launch for exploring the Broken Group Islands.
  • Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw Nation: Features the Kwa'lilas Hotel, The Cabins at Alert Bay, wildlife and whale watching tours, and the U’mista Cultural Centre.

  • Ditidaht First Nation: Features Nitinaht Campground cabins and campsites, kiteboarding, and access to the West Coast Trail.

Supported by Destination BC, the platform encourages sustainable, respectful travel guided by the principle of ʔiisaak (respect for the lands and leaving no trace).
