    [description] => 

The 'Great Bear Rainforest' protects one of the largest remaining tracts of temperate rainforest left in the world. The best way to explore this spectacular and remote region of towering moss-draped forests and dramatic fjords is by water so for this exciting holiday we charter either the 12-berth sailing ketch 'Island Roamer' or her sister vessel 'Island Odyssey'. Our tour is timed to coincide with the annual migration of millions of Pacific salmon as they return to the streams of British Columbia to spawn, attracting Grizzly and Black Bears, Wolves, Bald Eagles and the fabled white Kermode Bear, the 'Spirit of the Rainforest'. Huge Humpback Whales and speedy Pacific White-sided Dolphins are among the other wildlife we will be keeping a close look-out for as we cruise the coastal waterways of the 'Inside Passage' and explore the region's remote fjords, estuaries and bays. 

  • 7-night cruise aboard exclusively chartered 21-metre sailing ketch
  • Look for the rare Spirit (or 'Kermode') Bear, a white genetic variant of the Black Bear
  • Watch Black & Grizzly Bears fishing for salmon
  • Remote and breathtaking scenery of coastal British Columbia
  • Explore the fjords and estuaries of the 'Great Bear Rainforest'
  • Humpback Whales and Dall's Porpoise
  • Witness the annual salmon run, one of the world's natural wonders!
  • Numerous birds including Bald Eagle, Rhinoceros Auklet and Harlequin Duck
  • Wolf, American Marten and Sea Otter sighted on past cruises
  • Led by expert naturalist guides

Tell me about Canada …

With a land mass of almost nine million square kilometres, Canada is the second largest country in the world. It is bounded to the west by the Pacific Ocean and Alaska, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the north-east by Greenland and to the south by the USA. To the north lies the polar ice-cap.


The landscape is extremely diverse, ranging from the Arctic tundra of the north to the great wheatlands in the centre. The spectacular Rocky Mountains are found in the west and in the south-east are the Great Lakes, the St Lawrence River and the mighty Niagara Falls.

The country is divided into 10 provinces and three territories, all of which have their own distinct character and traditions. Canada offers wonderful wilderness experiences, vibrant cities and outstanding wildlife.

The ‘Great Bear Rainforest’ protects one of the largest remaining tracts of temperate rainforest left in the world. Stretching along the intricate, island-dotted coastline of British Columbia, from Vancouver Island to the Alaskan border, this is a region of spectacular natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Ancient Western Red Cedars – some over 1,000 years old – grow alongside towering Western Hemlocks, Amabilis Fir and Sitka Spruce, each dripping with curtains of lichens and moss. This forest of towering giants forms a magnificent natural cathedral, bisected by numerous glacier-fed streams which flow into the maze of narrow channels, fjords and wooded islands of the fabled ‘Inside Passage’. On land, the forests, estuaries and rocky beaches are patrolled by Black Bears (including the occasional ‘Spirit Bear’, a rare white genetic variant), Grey Wolves, Cougars and, of course, the ‘Great Bear’ itself, the Grizzly! Overhead soar Bald Eagles, whilst offshore Humpback Whales return every summer, joining pods of Orcas, Grey Whales, Pacific White-sided Dolphins, Steller’s Sea Lions and numerous seabirds.

Since much of the Great Bear Rainforest is remote and inaccessible, the best way to explore this spectacular region is from the water. For this reason, Naturetrek charters either the 12-passenger sailing vessel, 'Island Roamer', or her sister vessel, 'Island Odyssey', to operate our 7-night dedicated wildlife cruise. Our holiday begins, however, with a flight to Vancouver in western Canada, where we spend one night before flying north over the mountains, fjords and islands of coastal ‘BC’ to the small community of Bella Bella. On arrival we drive the short distance to the small harbour, where we board the Island Roamer/Odyssey and begin our cruise.

We spend the first part of our cruise exploring the coastal waterways of the Fjordland Provincial Protected Area. This is a breathtakingly beautiful stretch of coastline and home to an abundance of wildlife both above and below the waves. Waterbirds should include Rhinoceros Auklets, plus the diminutive Marbled Murrelet; the latter is a flagship species for the conservation movement, for it nests only in old growth forest! Great Northern Divers are common, together with Red-necked and Slavonian Grebes, Black and Surf Scoters and parties of twirling Red-necked Phalaropes. Whenever we are on the water we must always keep our eyes open for the distinctive triangular fins of a pod of patrolling Orcas, or perhaps a speedy group of Pacific White-sided Dolphins, or the ‘rooster tail’ shaped splash of a Dall’s Porpoise. We will also explore remote estuaries to look for Grizzly Bears attracted by spawning salmon, and keep a sharp look out at all times along the forest edge for one of the Great Bear Rainforest’s elusive Grey Wolves. A healthy population of Cougars also lives here, but this secretive cat is only seen by the very fortunate few!

Each summer, millions of Pacific salmon return to the streams of British Columbia to spawn. Our cruise has been timed to take full advantage of this annual natural feast for, once the salmon start running up the rivers in the early autumn, the bears, Wolves, eagles and other wildlife move in. Continuing north we next explore the forests and maze of waterways in the vicinity of Princess Royal Island, one of the largest islands in the Great Bear Rainforest. Here we hope to see the rare ‘Spirit’ or Kermode Bear, an attractive ‘all white’ genetic variant of the Black Bear that only occurs in this small area. We will also explore the beautiful Khutze Inlet, a great area to look for Grizzly Bears fishing for salmon, along with Black-tailed Deer, River Otter, American Mink and American Marten. The aptly named ‘Whale Channel’ is a reliable area for Humpback Whales and, if fortunate, we may come across a Grey Whale or two, passing south on their epic journey to Mexico, or even a huge Northern Elephant Seal. Birds to look out for include Fork-tailed Storm Petrel, Harlequin Duck, Pacific and Red-throated Divers, Pigeon Guillemot and perhaps the beautiful Tufted Puffin. We will also try to make daily shore excursions by Zodiac and take time to explore the forests, estuaries and coastlines on foot. This will give us the opportunity to enjoy the abundant and colourful intertidal-life, plus a few lingering woodland birds such as Varied Thrush, Pacific Slope Flycatcher and Townsend’s Warbler.

Our cruise ends in the small coastal community of Kitimat. Here we must disembark from the Island Roamer/Odyssey and leave the moss-draped forests of coastal BC for Vancouver, and ultimately, home.

NB - Please note that some cruises start in Kitimat and end in Bella Bella. The wildlife on offer and sites visited will be the same whether the cruise heads north or south, but please call the Naturetrek office on 01962 733051 should you have any questions.

[accommodations] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 01kz8yhx4gw87wgv3mztt091qb [name] => Great Bear Lodge [slug] => great-bear-lodge [description] => [introduction] => The adventure begins even before you reach Great Bear Lodge with an exciting 30-minute float plane ride from Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. The views are truly breathtaking and as you cross Queen Charlotte Strait you may even spot a pod of Orca, Pacific White-sided Dolphins or Humpback Whales! This wonderful small wilderness lodge is set deep within the Nekite Valley in the Great Bear Rainforest, and its river estuary is a magnet for hungry Grizzly Bears. The lodge sits on floating pontoons and accommodates a maximum of 16 guests in comfortable twin-bedded rooms each with a private bathroom. Delicious, fresh, home cooked gourmet meals are produced in the kitchen by endlessly cheerful staff. Dinner is the main social event of the day, where guests get a chance to mingle and discuss the day’s sightings. In the autumn you will enjoy morning and afternoon bear-viewing sessions overlooking the Nekite River where the Grizzly Bears fish for salmon between August and October. Viewing is either by hide or from an open wooden platform and the photo opportunities are superb! In the spring bear-viewing mostly takes place by boat and focuses on the nearby Nekite Estuary where the bears feed on sedge after their long winter hibernation.    Nestling against a backdrop of snow-clad peaks, forested hillsides and spectacular waterfalls, this floating lodge is in a wonderfully peaceful location. To sit quietly in the early morning with only the sound of the birdsong breaking the silence, the cry of a Bald Eagle overhead or the splash of a playful River Otter nearby is something you will treasure for ever.

It is perfectly situated for exploration of the Great Bear Rainforest, either by water or on land! The Grizzly Bear viewing from the lodge is some of the best in the world, with viewing platforms strategically located to allow for excellent photography of bears fishing for salmon. Guests might also enjoy bear-watching by kayak or taking an interpretive walk with a local indigenous guide. Knight Inlet is the longest fjord on British Colombia’s coast, and the lodge is backed by a wild and remote landscape of spectacular mountains and the vibrant greens of the temperate rainforest. The lodge has a west coast B.C. feel, with western cedar cladding and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Each of the lodge’s 18 en suite rooms are very comfortable and homely, with views of either the sparkling Glendale Cove or the shoreline where bears are often spotted. The lodge serves delicious and sumptuous freshly caught seafood and other local fare, which can be enjoyed out on the waterside deck on warmer evenings.

The lodge also boasts its own private 30-acre forest. Guests arrive at the lodge by high-speed water taxi from Vancouver Island and so you may spot Humpback Whales, Stellar Sea Lions or Pacific White-sided Dolphins before you even arrive! The lodge offers eight cosy ocean-side suites on land and a further four wonderful suites located on the floating portion of the lodge. Each section of this unique property is connected via a series of wooden boardwalks, allowing one to feel truly immersed in the surrounding landscape.

Summary

The ‘Great Bear Rainforest’ protects one of the largest remaining tracts of temperate rainforest left in the world. Stretching along the intricate, island-dotted coastline of British Columbia, from Vancouver Island to the Alaskan border, this is a region of spectacular natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Ancient Western Red Cedars – some over 1,000 years old – grow alongside towering Western Hemlocks, Amabilis Fir and Sitka Spruce, each dripping with curtains of lichens and moss. This forest of towering giants forms a magnificent natural cathedral, bisected by numerous glacier-fed streams which flow into the maze of narrow channels, fjords and wooded islands of the fabled ‘Inside Passage’. On land, the forests, estuaries and rocky beaches are patrolled by Black Bears (including the occasional ‘Spirit Bear’, a rare white genetic variant), Grey Wolves, Cougars and, of course, the ‘Great Bear’ itself, the Grizzly! Overhead soar Bald Eagles, whilst offshore Humpback Whales return every summer, joining pods of Orcas, Grey Whales, Pacific White-sided Dolphins, Steller’s Sea Lions and numerous seabirds.

Since much of the Great Bear Rainforest is remote and inaccessible, the best way to explore this spectacular region is from the water. For this reason, Naturetrek charters either the 12-passenger sailing vessel, 'Island Roamer', or her sister vessel, 'Island Odyssey', to operate our 7-night dedicated wildlife cruise. Our holiday begins, however, with a flight to Vancouver in western Canada, where we spend one night before flying north over the mountains, fjords and islands of coastal ‘BC’ to the small community of Bella Bella. On arrival we drive the short distance to the small harbour, where we board the Island Roamer/Odyssey and begin our cruise.

We spend the first part of our cruise exploring the coastal waterways of the Fjordland Provincial Protected Area. This is a breathtakingly beautiful stretch of coastline and home to an abundance of wildlife both above and below the waves. Waterbirds should include Rhinoceros Auklets, plus the diminutive Marbled Murrelet; the latter is a flagship species for the conservation movement, for it nests only in old growth forest! Great Northern Divers are common, together with Red-necked and Slavonian Grebes, Black and Surf Scoters and parties of twirling Red-necked Phalaropes. Whenever we are on the water we must always keep our eyes open for the distinctive triangular fins of a pod of patrolling Orcas, or perhaps a speedy group of Pacific White-sided Dolphins, or the ‘rooster tail’ shaped splash of a Dall’s Porpoise. We will also explore remote estuaries to look for Grizzly Bears attracted by spawning salmon, and keep a sharp look out at all times along the forest edge for one of the Great Bear Rainforest’s elusive Grey Wolves. A healthy population of Cougars also lives here, but this secretive cat is only seen by the very fortunate few!

Each summer, millions of Pacific salmon return to the streams of British Columbia to spawn. Our cruise has been timed to take full advantage of this annual natural feast for, once the salmon start running up the rivers in the early autumn, the bears, Wolves, eagles and other wildlife move in. Continuing north we next explore the forests and maze of waterways in the vicinity of Princess Royal Island, one of the largest islands in the Great Bear Rainforest. Here we hope to see the rare ‘Spirit’ or Kermode Bear, an attractive ‘all white’ genetic variant of the Black Bear that only occurs in this small area. We will also explore the beautiful Khutze Inlet, a great area to look for Grizzly Bears fishing for salmon, along with Black-tailed Deer, River Otter, American Mink and American Marten. The aptly named ‘Whale Channel’ is a reliable area for Humpback Whales and, if fortunate, we may come across a Grey Whale or two, passing south on their epic journey to Mexico, or even a huge Northern Elephant Seal. Birds to look out for include Fork-tailed Storm Petrel, Harlequin Duck, Pacific and Red-throated Divers, Pigeon Guillemot and perhaps the beautiful Tufted Puffin. We will also try to make daily shore excursions by Zodiac and take time to explore the forests, estuaries and coastlines on foot. This will give us the opportunity to enjoy the abundant and colourful intertidal-life, plus a few lingering woodland birds such as Varied Thrush, Pacific Slope Flycatcher and Townsend’s Warbler.

Our cruise ends in the small coastal community of Kitimat. Here we must disembark from the Island Roamer/Odyssey and leave the moss-draped forests of coastal BC for Vancouver, and ultimately, home.

NB - Please note that some cruises start in Kitimat and end in Bella Bella. The wildlife on offer and sites visited will be the same whether the cruise heads north or south, but please call the Naturetrek office on 01962 733051 should you have any questions.
