Western Canada Bear Viewing

Our West Coast wilderness lodges are located in remote pristine environments but are however easily accessible by float plane or water taxi.

With expert guides are on hand to locate bears and interpret their behaviour these lodges offer some of the best bear viewing opportunities available in comfortable friendly accommodation offering gourmet meals using local produce.


Great Bear Lodge | From Port Hardy Great Bear Lodge is located 50 air miles from Port Hardy, British Columbia. The fully self-contained floating lodge is situated at an outstanding wildlife viewing location. Known as the Great Bear Rainforest, this area is one of the best places in the world to observe grizzly bears and many other wildlife including black bears, wolves and bald eagles.

The charming lodge has eight bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom. Gourmet meals await you at the lodge on your return from the wilderness. In between bear viewing sessions you will be able to join a guided activity such as seakayaking or an interpretive hike.

Each season offers a unique view into the world of grizzly bears. Ideal for photography, Spring allows you to observe the grizzlies as they graze on grasses and sedges and engage in mating behaviour.

During the summer, the grizzlies move between the various habitats to optimize their feeding. Find them gorging on berry patches, grazing on estuarine grasslands and scouting for the early salmon. The grizzly bears congregate at the river in fall to take advantage of the best food source available on the coast, Pacific salmon

Highlights | One of the best places in the world to observe grizzly bears and many other wildlife including black bears, wolves and bald eagles.

Knight Inlet Lodge | Located 80 kilometers north of Campbell River, British Columbia, is the wild and remote Knight Inlet. Situated 60 kilometers from the mouth of the inlet in Glendale Cove is Knight Inlet Lodge.

Glendale Cove is home to one of the largest concentrations of grizzly bears in British Columbia. It is not uncommon for there to be up to 50 bears within 10 kilometers of the lodge in the peak fall season, when the salmon are returning to the river. Although they are abundant in the fall, it is not the only season that grizzly bears can be found in Glendale Cove.

Starting in late April the bears return to the estuary from winter dens and start the year feeding on the sedges, succulents, grasses and barnacles that abound in the estuary. This is the time to see, at close proximity, the tiny cubs emerge with their evercautious mothers. In the summer, the berry crop is very heavy and this helps keeps the bears in the general area.

As well as bear viewing, Knight Inlet Lodge also offers a number of other highlights including marine wildlife tours, excursions to the upper reaches of Knight Inlet, day-hiking programs and guided kayaking tours.

Highlights: Glendale Cove is home to one of the largest concentrations of grizzly bears in British Columbia.

Spirit Bear Lodge From Vancouver

The Great Bear Rainforest is the largest piece of intact temperate rainforest left on the planet. Towering green, forested mountains give way to richly biodiverse river valley bottoms and estuaries which teem with wild salmon. It is the home of the great grizzly bear, coastal wolves, cougar and many other terrestrial mammals.

Spirit Bear Lodge is located 280 nautical miles north of Vancouver in the heart of the rainforest. Nestled in a remote archipelago of small islands, Spirit Bear Lodge is positioned to offer unparalleled access to some of the best grizzly and Spirit Bear viewing in the region.

Because Spirit Bear Lodge is owned and operated by First Nations, the guides have exclusive access to some of the special viewing areas in the Spirit Bear Conservancy.

Highlights: Spirit Bear Lodge is positioned to offer unparalleled access to some of the best grizzly and Spirit Bear viewing in the region.
