3 or 4 Day Grizzly Bears Adventure

3 or 4 days from £466

Departures:
Daily, 06 May – 24 Jul & 01 Aug - 21 Oct

Day 1: Arrive Campbell River
On arrival into Campbell River transfer to your hotel. Campbell River is known as the 'Salmon Capital of the World', and also the gateway to the rugged wilderness of Strathcona Provincial Park. The rest of your day is then free to explore Campbell River.
Accommodation: Overnight: Heron's Landing Hotel

Day 2: Campbell River – Knight Inlet Lodge
This morning’s transfer takes you to the floatplane docks for your scenic flight to Knight Inlet, your eco-adventure destination. The flight departs at 09.30 and you will arrive at Knight Inlet at 10.00. The maximum luggage allowance on the floatplane is 17kg per person, however, excess luggage can be stored at Heron's Landing. One of the largest fjords on the British Columbia mainland coast, Knight Inlet is a wild and remote area offering spectacular scenery amidst steep cliffs that plummet into the deep blues and greens of the glacial-fed water. The rustic Knight Inlet Lodge is tucked into Glendale Cove which offers one of the few protected anchorages in the inlet and is home to a large concentration of grizzly bears. On arrival at the floating lodge you will receive a welcome orientation on bear viewing. By mid-afternoon you will take a boat cruise from the lodge. Afterwards you can enjoy three hours of watching these incredible bears – giant males, sows and bear cubs – feeding on salmon in their natural environment. This is one of the few regions in the world where such an encounter is possible. In spring/early summer viewing is from a boat so you will be within 50m of the shore where the bears feed, and in autumn you will observe these amazing animals from secure platforms.Your guides are well versed in how to get close to the bears without causing them distress, or you any danger, and their knowledge of the bears and the surrounding environment is incredible. By early evening you will return to the lodge and enjoy a hearty dinner with an interpretative programme before turning in for the night. (LD)
Accommodation: Overnight: Knight Inlet lodge

Day 3: Knight Inlet Lodge (or Departure to Campbell River)
Guests who take the three-day package will depart after breakfast. Those that have chosen to spend another day at the lodge will again go out into the realm of the grizzly bear. Apart from further bear-viewing, either from the boats or the secured platforms, there are many other activities available. For the really adventurous why not paddle out, after brief instruction, in a kayak to explore the inlet and to get a more intimate view of the bears that often roam close to the shores in search of food? There is also the option of bald eagle viewing, wildlife tracking or an interpretative hike of the Kwalate River Valley. (BLD)
Accommodation: Overnight: Knight Inlet Lodge

Day 4: Knight Inlet Lodge – Campbell River
After breakfast you will depart by floatplane back to Campbell River, arriving at 11.00. A transfer has been included to take you back to your hotel where you can collect the rest of your luggage and where your incredible trip comes to an end. (B)
