When you sail the Great Bear Rainforest you will see Islands and intricate waterways beneath towering mountains...lush, coastal temperate forests...wilderness alive with eagles, ravens, salmon, bears and wolves...ten thousand year old native cultures...and now the opportunity to adventure along these waterways, inside the forest, seek for wildlife, meet native guides and learn the why the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the last gems on the Pacific Coast. This small ship cruise of central BC, is comparable to no other.

The description “Great Bear Rainforest” was created because the region holds the largest remaining areas of original coastal rainforest left on the entire Pacific coast. Ecologically, the name refers to the significant populations of black, grizzly and kermode bear that are supported by the abundant salmon runs for food, and lack of human development. It is a long, convoluted maze of narrow waterways and fiords. Emerald forests of western hemlock and red cedar clock lush river valleys and broad estuaries. Biologically abundant and diverse, the area is also ecologically fragile.

Itinerary

Day 1 – We meet at the top of the Municipal Dock on the Bella
Bella waterfront and leave mid-day to begin our adventure. Note:
some departures begin/end in Prince Rupert.

Days 2-7 - Over the next 6 days, we will travel to a number of
areas around the Central Coast such as Campania Sound and
Whale Channel - excellent areas for spotting humpback whales
and Steller sea lions. We may go ashore in the Gitga’at (Princess
Royal Island) Conservancy. We will cruise over to Bishop Bay to
enjoy a relaxing dip in the hot springs and spend a day with a
Gitga’at native guide, taking us to his favourite bear viewing area.
With patience and some luck we will see black bears and the
elusive, white Spirit Bear! We may visit the First Nations village of
Klemtu or Hartley Bay to see their ceremonial Big Houses. We will
voyage deep into the coastal mountains to explore the Fiordland
Conservancy where, beneath towering rock bluffs and waterfalls,
we will search remote estuaries to see grizzly bears feeding on
spawning salmon.

Day 8 – We arrive in Bella Bella late morning. Participants can
catch the Pacific Coastal Airlines late afternoon flight back to
Vancouver.
