July  31 - August 6 & August 13 - 19, 2010 |
Length: 6 - 7 days | |||
Tour the waters of North Vancouver Island in the custom 68-foot ketch, Island Roamer or Island Odyssey and observe grizzly bears feeding on spawning salmon up Knight Inlet. There are few places in the world that can provide
consistent, safe and incredible grizzly bear viewing.
Glendale Cove up Knight Inlet is one of them, and has
now become one of British Columbia’s premier wildlife
viewing sites. Forty-seven individual bears were identified
here in 2001, all of them attracted by a run of pink
salmon run that averages 500,000 fish. This remote
location is up a coastal fiord that extends deep into the
coastal mountains. The bears have become used to
humans watching. They often feed in sight of raised
viewing stands or along the shores of the estuary where
we can watch from our small boats.
We'll also see orcas and humpback whales in the core feeding area of Johnstone Strait, and the experience the rich Wakwaka'wakw
native heritage. |
