If you haven’t experienced Sandspit Adventures yet, stop reading this review, pack your bags, and go! Seriously, you’ve been warned. Sandspit is a little slice of heaven that’s more than just a fishing trip—it’s a full-on aquatic carnival with jaw-dropping fishing, the craziest variety of fish, and staff that could convince you to sign up for a lifetime membership with just one smile.
Let’s talk fishing: imagine casting your line into the crystal-clear waters, and BOOM, something massive bites! In one trip, we reeled in everything from salmon that could make you feel like you’re in a nature documentary, to bottom fish so colorful they should be on a post card. It’s like the ocean decided to throw a party, and you’re the VIP guest. I lost count of the species we caught, but let’s just say if there’s a fish out there, Sandspit probably has it….

Just had the trip of a life time at Sandspit Adventures! Chad and his team go the extra mile giving such a personal experience it honestly feels like fishing with your friends! We were personally greeted at the Airport with Chad himself and his crew, brought to the lodge. The lodge has a great deck with a view looking over the water, walking distance to the marina in about 30-45 seconds. Which they shuttle to and from if needing. Filled with Lots to do and games to challenge your friends for some Money or bragging rights when not on the water. The staff at the lodge are top shelf, always making sure you’re taken care of, plus the Chefs meals were delicious ! The guides were amazing, I personally fished with Jason, Drew and Jade and I had a blast with all of them! The boats have a mix of lodge equipment and some of the guides personal stuff that work great! (Those green Islander MR3 reels on Jason’s boat and Islander TR3’s on Drew’s were something else!

My wife and I just returned from a fishing trip to Sandspit Adventures, Haida Gwaii, BC. The Sandspit Adventure staff is really great. Our host Chad Whiteside runs a wonderful resort. Our guide/captain Cori Lemmen was excellent. We caught a ton of halibut, salmon, Ling Cod and rock fish. The house staff was very accommodating. The 29 foot boats are new and superb. We have already booked for next year. This is a great place to catch lots of fish. Thanks so much.

Never tried salmon fishing before so didn’t really know what to expect. Chad the owner of Sandspit Adventures picked us up from the airport . Drove us to the incredible lodge with the best chefs . Meals were delicious and big portions. Desserts were incredible. The level of hospitality from Chad the owner and his carefully picked staff were amazing and outstanding. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and so helpful and went out of their way to make sure of our safety during our fishing experience. The rooms at the lodge had comfortable beds and were so nice and cozy and very clean. The lodge was immaculate. Every member of his staff was incredible, knowledgeable. friendly and hospitable. They all made us feel like family. This was the most incredible memorable fishing trip ever on June 23 -17 , 2026. Catching Chinook and coho salmon with top notch mooching reels and down riggers on 30 ft newer boats. Catching halibut and link cod in the ocean is incredible! Definitely 10 out of 10. Chad and Sandspit Adventures went above and beyond and raised the level of a fishing experience beyond any expectations . Thanks to all members of his staff and Chad himself. A special thank-you to Diana for her intellectual fascinating conversations and hospitality we look forward to meeting you again. Sandspit Dover Trail is an absolute hidden treasure ; so incredibly green and lush with magnificent cedars , truly a hidden gem. Sandspit was magical. Definitely can’t wait to return!
