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 26-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 26 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. Your Day #4 is free in Campbell River. 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 Art, and drive/ride an ATV 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. Ride your ATV back to the boat and enjoy your trip home to the lodge to catch your seaplane. Day # 5 is free in Campbell River.

Day #5 [for longer 6 Day Trips] Repeat Grizzly Trip to the Glendale River viewing area or repeat Orca/ Humpback/ Sea Lion/ Dolphin trip to Johnstone Straits. Day #6 is free in Campbell River.

Grizzly Bear Lodge And Safari 2010 News Report: Our river valley grizzly bear count of individual bears remained in the high 40's this past season. On one trip we saw 24 different bears although our average was closer to 7 or 8 per trip. The Orcas were a week late but then were often spectacular as were the humpback and dolphins. We have the photos to show you. We're really looking forward to 2010 - to see more grizzlies as they build up for the winter fishing for salmon on our wild river and to see lots of whales again too. Our whales are the healthiest in the western Pacific.
