The Great Bear Experience
The Great Bear Lodge is the perfect base from which to take in the diverse wildlife of this region. Board your idyllic floating lodge and journey to several viewing points to see Grizzly Bears and other native wildlife in natural surrounds, and enjoy time to relax and unwind.
Itinerary
Day 1: Vancouver to Great Bear Lodge via seaplane
Fly from Vancouver Airport to Port Hardy. Then, travel past the breathtaking central coast and over Queen Charlotte Strait- the home of Orca, Gray and Humpback Whales. At Great Bear Lodge, settle into your room at the charming two-storey floating lodge and in the late afternoon, your grizzly bear experience begins. With guides, head to viewing sites where the bears have been most active recently. Estuary sites are reached by boats, while river sites are reached by vehicle. The river boats have been designed for optimum comfort without impeding your view of the bears- there is nothing quite like seeing your first grizzly emerge from the forest. Return to the lodge this evening for a gourmet dinner. Afterwards, enjoy a presentation explaining the interaction of the grizzly bear with this unique environment.
Day 2: Great Bear Viewing
Rise at dawn and head out on the trail of the grizzly bear. Viewing sessions typically last for three hours, and are not strenuous. Guests simply step into a boat or walk downstairs to viewing blinds. After lunch, explore the surrounding area with a guide. A popular activity is the interpretive rainforest walk, during which bear signs and the ecology of the area are explained. Later, join your afternoon bear-viewing session before time to relax in the lodge- perhaps unwind in front of the fireplace with a book from the natural history library.
Day 3: Morning Bear Viewing, Port Hardy
After your morning bear viewing session, enjoy a delicious lunch. Then, transfer to Port Hardy, a haven for outdoor recreationists.
Day 4: Port Hardy to Vancouver
Transfer to Port Hardy Airport and fly back to Vancouver International Airport.
