Grizzly Bear Expedition
Overview
Depart from our Campbell River Marine Adventure Centre aboard our comfortable, heated, covered vessels for a scenic 2 hour boat trip into Bute Inlet.
Your arrival at the dock in Orford Bay begins a 3 hour land-based experience led by members of the Homalco First Nations. Local Indigenous guides will transport you by bus to a variety of raised wildlife viewing platforms and prime ground viewing locations to look for the magnificent grizzly bear, elk, bald eagles, and more. The grizzly bears converge on the Orford River valley between August and October every year to feast on the spawning salmon in preparation for the long winter hibernation.
During our trip to and from Bute Inlet you may also see killer whales, humpback whales, dolphins, porpoises, black bears, seals and sea lions, and a variety of colourful sea birds – all in an unspoiled natural environment.
Lunch is served in Orford Bay with an unobstructed view of the estuary and its spectacular mainland mountain surroundings.
