9 Day Vancouver and Spirit Bear Lodge Adventure Twin Centre

On arrival in Vancouver, make your way to your downtown hotel and check in. Once you’ve freshened up and settled in, why not get your bearings in this beautiful city? You could spend some time walking down Robson Street perusing the shops, or discover the many restaurants and bars in the trendy Gastown area.

Enjoy two full days in Vancouver, seeing the sights and taking in the views. Maybe rent some bikes and explore the vast trails that run through the city and into Stanley Park, a 400-hectare urban landscape that offers hidden gems like English Bay Beach, Beaver Lake and even an aquarium. To enjoy spectacular views over Vancouver and of the surrounding mountains, head to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and enjoy a treetop adventure. Or, if you're here between March and October, why not head out on a whale watching tour? Enjoy a morning or afternoon on the water spotting humpbacks, orcas and grey whales - depending on the migration. Granville Island is also a must-do attraction and we'd highly recommend booking a foodie tour, so you can enjoy the delights and learn about the iconic market and its food.

Today make your way to Vancouver South Terminal and take a Pacific Coastal Airlines flight up to Bella Bella, on the eastern coast of Campbell Island. On arrival in Bella Bella, you'll be met and transferred to Bella Bella town dock. From here, enjoy the scenic journey on the Spirit Bear Lodge boat, arriving at the resort early afternoon. Head to the restaurant for a late lunch and a welcome orientation. Your first activity will soon be beginning, so head to the Big House for a unique cultural experience. In the evening, you'll be treated to appetisers and drinks, before seating down for dinner.

On each day of your stay at Spirit Bear Lodge, you can enjoy a hearty breakfast before heading out on a full-day, wildlife-viewing adventure. The activities may include bear-viewing, whale-watching, kayaking, hiking, canoeing or even a cultural site visit. And, to top, the wild scenery includes estuaries, stunning inlets and spectacular waterfalls. You'll get back to the resort by 6pm, where appetisers will be served before dinner. There'll also be optional evening presentations on the Great Bear Rainforest, bears, or First Nation culture, so pop along if you want to learn more.

On your departure day from Spirit Bear Lodge, enjoy breakfast and be ready by 8am. Take the boat back to Bella Bella town dock and transfer to the airport, where you'll catch a flight back to Vancouver South Terminal, arriving late afternoon. Check into your airport hotel ready for your flight home the following morning.

Depart Vancouver after a wonderful time exploring downtown and Spirit Bear Lodge's unique location and wonderful wildlife.
