Courting spring bears, foraging in the intertidal zone.
Sow and Cub. We saw them both in the fall before hibernation and then again in the spring and we have not seen either of them since.
June Bears are in longer, lush sedges.
Another yearling.
May bears the sedges are shorter. Grizzly are not guaranteed, but we always see bears. We just never know which species, sometimes we have both, or just one or the other.

Overview

What makes this tour unique it that there are no crowds and we are not in bear stands. Viewing is from the boat only. Most often we are the only boat out there. Additionally, we do not book more than 8 guests on this adventure to ensure unobstructed views and a quiet setting for bears.

Upon departure, we travel 2 hours north of Campbell River into the heart of bear country through vast fjords with whimsical waterfalls for you to enjoy while your guide keeps a keen eye out for intertidal Black bears! Shortly thereafter, we head to the estuaries in search of Grizzly bears.

This is a spring bear tour and only books May & June when bears are emerging from hibernation and their spring foraging habits are predictable. They are not feeding on salmon this time of year.

Note: Departure times vary due to tides. If your departure time changes we will contact you prior to the trip. Please check for our messages the day before, or contact us if you are going out of service.
