Soul Community Plant (SCP) Hotels is pleased to announce the expansion of its “Epic Experiences” program, a collection of immersive outdoor adventures and cultural journeys inspired by each property’s surrounding landscape. From sunrise paddles and hands-on culinary exploration to guided volcanic discovery, the program connects guests to the defining elements of every destination through partnerships with local guides, farmers, chefs, and cultural practitioners.
“We’re very intentional about where we plant our hotels — each destination is chosen because it offers something extraordinary to experience, not just admire,” said Pam Cruse, Co-Founder of SCP Hotels. “Epic Experiences are designed to bring guests into the heart of those places, whether that’s paddling at sunrise on the Oregon coast or exploring Hawai‘i’s volcanic landscape alongside local experts. By working closely with guides, chefs, farmers, and cultural practitioners, we’re able to create immersive journeys that reveal the true character of each destination and connect travelers more deeply to the communities around them.”
EPIC EXPERIENCES THROUGHOUT SCP HOTELS
Designed to reflect the unique energy and environment of each property, SCP Hotels’ expansion of Epic Experiences draws directly from the landscapes, traditions, and communities that define the region, inviting guests to engage deeply with the destinations through immersive, nature-first experiences.
Sunrise on the Siletz – Salishan Coastal Lodge by SCP Hotels, Oregon
Begin the day at dawn, hopping into a vintage Land Rover to Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge where you’ll embark on a guided sunrise paddleboarding experience unlike any other. As the sky shifts through early morning light, guests glide across calm waters, taking in some of the most photogenic estuarine habitat along the Pacific Coast including salt marsh, mudflats, sloughs and conifer-hardwood forests, all of which are essential habitat to shorebirds, ducks, wading birds, and Coho and Chinook Salmon. Afterwards, gather onshore for a thoughtfully prepared brunch picnic with warming beverages and guided journaling.
