Highlights

  • Spot foraging grizzly bear in one of the world's best viewing sites
  • Stay in a floating lodge in a pristine location, with all-inclusive food and drink
  • Head on boat and kayak trips through the serene Knight Inlet, spotting orca, humpback & eagle
  • Enjoy guided hikes and bear tracking excursions

This lodge lies on the 100km-long glacier-carved Knight Inlet fjord in British Columbia's stunning coastal mountains – a region teeming with grizzly bears. Spend action-packed days hiking, kayaking, on boat trips and on specially-constructed viewing platforms as you spot foraging grizzlies and breaching humpback. Upon return, cosily rustic floating rooms overlooking the cove await alongside ultra-fresh seafood dinners with complimentary wine. And, there's the option to extend your trip for extra bear watching excursions, bald eagle spotting and interpretive hikes to track bear signs.

In more detail

Cosy rooms are spread across five floating cabins, each adorned with alder-hardwood furnishings, queen-sized beds, private bathrooms and burning wood stoves. Then, after thrilling bear-watching days, the rustic lounge – complete with bear paraphernalia – is an ideal place to read up on the next day's activities before you head to the interpretive centre for a fascinating insight into the surrounding flora and fauna. While the lodge is remote, dining manages to be both plentiful and of excellent quality – expect the likes of ultra-fresh crab, salmon and prawn plucked fresh from the glacier-fed waters alongside complimentary wine, served in a charming wooden-beamed dining room.

With spotting bears in the wild a once-in-a-lifetime trip for many, and with the surrounding waters teeming with mussels, barnacles and sedge grasses in spring and salmon in autumn, the lodge's surrounds are a haven for grizzlies. The specially-constructed viewing platforms mean excellent sighting chances without disturbing the bears, and scenic boat rides that weave among the forested islands afford you chances to also spot humpbacks, orcas, eagles and sea lions. There's even the chance to head out on guided kayaking trips through the pristine Knight Inlet for a close-up whale watching experience, as well as interpretive guided walks through the cloaking forest trails.
