Grizzly Bear Lodge Itinerary Day 3 Grizzly Viewing and Whale Watching Knight Inlet BC.

Your Itinerary....

Day #3

Rise early. After coffee and breakfast you are off to your boat with your guide. Travel the shores of Knight Inlet, a spectacular scenic fjord, to Glendale Cove where you ride our Grizzly Bus [Aug 25-Oct15] up to the salmon spawning channel. Here you can photo huge Grizzly Bears as they feed on these fish using dives, scoops and plunges to trap their prey. Observe two hours from our viewing stand and then back to the boat for lunch and more Grizzly Bear viewing at the Glendale River estuary. Trips before August 25 view the grizzly bears interacting and feeding in the estuary and on the beaches near the river. (Day 3 Itineriary continued below).

Cruise Knight Inlet home to Sailcone's Grizzly Bear Lodge to meet your late afternoon plane back to Campbell River wher you will stay at your pre-choosen hotel.

Sometimes we change the order of the viewing days to accommodate better Grizzly Bear or Whale viewing. Finally, weather can effect the quality of viewing.

Day # 4

[For Longer 5 Day Trips]. After breakfast we take you to our wild river, the Kakweiken, by safari boat. View Black Bear, Seals, and perhaps a school of playing White-Sided Dolphins on the way. Meet one of our river guides, Trapper Rick or his assistant, and ride the Trapper's "Grizzly Truck" to the spawning area of the river. View grizzly and Black Bears and Bald Eagles while watching the schools of salmon preparing for spawning. If you wish, fish off the bank for the salmon or trout.

Enjoy your picnic lunch at the trapper's cabin overlooking the waterfalls - a good time to spot a Grizzly Bear feeding on the jumping salmon. In the truck and back to the boat and enjoy your trip home to the lodge before catching your seaplane back to Campbell River for your final night.

Day #5

Repeat Grizzly Trip to the Glendale River viewing area. Day #6 is free in Campbell River.

Grizzly Bear Lodge And Safari 2011 News Report: 2011 year has been one of the best for grizzly bear tours and whale watching. We averaged six grizzly bears per visit plus a mother grizzly with two cubs who were daily visitors. A heavy rain pushed the salmon up stream earlier this year drawing the bears to the river below our viewing stands. We had a record year for viewing orca (killer whales), humpback and dolphins. There were a few days when we saw more than 3 different pods of orca meeting and playing in the Johnstone Strait. We are looking forward to more renovations this winter and a early start to the 2012 season. Check out the new photos from 2011 of grizzly bear tours, and whale watching tours and other local wildlife we see on our wildlife tours.
