Are you an outdoor enthusiast looking for the perfect place to stop on your remote adventures?
Look no further!
The Scarlet Ibis Pub, located in Holberg, is the most remote pub on Vancouver Island.
Situated in the middle of a long logging road connecting Port Hardy and Cape Scott Provincial Park, this hidden gem serves a town of fewer than 100 people.
With stunning views from its patio and a signature house lager, the pub offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
It also serves a Pale Ale brewed by Longwood Brewery, with a portion of the proceeds supporting trail maintenance in Cape Scott Provincial Park.
A community staple for nearly 50 years, the Scarlet Ibis was originally a bunkhouse transported to Holberg in five pieces from Port Hardy.
According to the pub’s website, a logger named Art Jones had a dream of opening an English-style pub—and that’s exactly what he did.
His wife, Ruby, chose the name because the location reminded her of her birthplace, Jamaica.
In addition to the pub, visitors to this remote location can rent a hut equipped with a cozy interior and a variety of bunk bed options, ranging from single to queen beds, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests.
While the accommodation provides a welcoming environment, guests are required to bring their own sleeping bag and pillow to personalize their stay.
Recently, digital creators Meagan and Andy, known as @fuelforthesole on Instagram, visited this unique pub and shared their adventure online.
