Journey with us into the inner reaches of traditional First Nation territories to see black, grizzly and Spirit bears. This small group Great Bear Trail Tour is the trip of a lifetime for bear enthusiasts who desire a ‘total bear experience’ in one of the most diverse and pristine environments in the world.

We travel by van, motor boat, canoe, coastal ferry, and float plane, traversing the length of Vancouver Island and then north into the remote Central Coast of British Columbia. These largely uninhabited area are home to 1000 year old trees, rainforests, deep fjords, waterfalls and abandoned villages. Aboriginal people have lived for thousands of years in the regions we explore, their lives shaped by the land, ocean, climate and creatures. As their guests, we explore the favourite haunts of bears in areas known only to our First Nations guides.

Prepare to be mesmerized watching bears roaming rugged coasts, snagging wild salmon, frolicking in rivers or settling down for an afternoon snooze. Seeing a bear, in the wild, if only for a fleeting moment, is a rare and magical experience.
