About this experience
Your expedition begins at our Campbell River marina, where you'll board our comfortable covered vessel, complete with a heated cabin and onboard washroom.
The 2.5-hour journey to Toba Inlet is a marine wildlife experience in itself, as our expert naturalist guides provide commentary and we keep a lookout for whales, dolphins, and sea lions along the way. You'll enter Toba Inlet, a remote fjord of towering mountains, stunning jade-green glacial waters, and cascading waterfalls.
Once we arrive at the bear viewing location, you'll enjoy an included lunch on the dock before being greeted by your Indigenous guides from the Klahoose First Nation. You'll then board a van to travel along the inlet's rivers, arriving at viewing platforms. Here, you will safely observe grizzly bears catching salmon during the annual run.
After approximately 3 hours of immersive bear viewing, you'll return to our boat for the journey home, with more time to spot whales and enjoy the coastal scenery.
