“Great, we saw a lot of seals, including a beluga whale and two minke whales. It was a fantastic experience. The guide shared a lot of info and was super friendly. When we were watching the bears, the guide got us really pumped for the bear tour, and he was pretty funny. We got to watch a bear for a long time. It was totally worth it But we could have saved ourselves the visit to the 5-star farm. You can hardly see any animals, some cages are empty.”

Campbell River grizzly-watching tour in Bute Inlet with a small group, boat ride, and Orford River bear viewing plus meals included.
“Incredible experience! The tour accommodates 30 people, but it doesn’t feel too crowded. We got to see whales on the way out and sea lions and dolphins on the way back. We stopped at a few viewing spots and saw 5 bears in total, including a mother and cub, which sticked around for quite some time. The hosts were fantastic and getting some indigenous background and having indigenous guides was incredible!”

“Jason was a great skipper and tour guide on the boat always looking for whales. He was also a good bear guide. Stewart and Tony know their bears. I think Stewart even speaks bear. Learned some First People's history and bear behaviors. Felt safe at all times. Tony and Stewart had good jokes. A great day!”

“This was by far the best day ever. Vivi is a lovely person and a brilliant guide. She clearly loves and respects the animals she takes you to see and is extremely knowledgeable about them. Vivi knew where to find all the animals and we saw moose, bears, wild pigs chipmunks and even a baby beaver. The wolf talk and feeding is a must see and feeding the deer was both delightful and hilarious in equal measure. Nothing was too much trouble for her and we felt like we were out enjoying a fabulous experience with a great friend. We would also highly recommend the picnic which was freshly prepared…”

“We saw 11 grizzlies eating salmon in the river. The native guides knew where to look. It's amazing how close you can get and not feel threatened. They are fat and happy bears. It was a stormy day, so the ride over was rough and the clouds were low, but the clouds lifted by afternoon, and the ride back was smooth and beautiful. Saw some humpbacks but no orcas.”
