The Best of the Valley.

In Bella Coola, the Coast Range meets the Pacific Ocean and creates one of the most spectacular, yet isolated, wilderness areas on the planet. Long fjords, old growth forests, stunning peaks, and vast glaciers combine with abundant wildlife. This is home to countless salmon, bald eagles and grizzly bears, totemic animals of the coastal native peoples, and is the centre of a uniquely, varied and unspoiled expanse of wilderness know as the Great Bear Rainforest.

Trip Highlights

• Visit remote, hideaways in the Great Bear Rainforest by helicopter
• Hike and wander the stunning, alpine grandeur of the Coast Range Mountains
• View and photograph wildlife while drifting the scenic Atnarko River in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park
• Fish the interlinking fjords of British Columbia’s central coast by boat
• Meet and hear storytellers, singers and drummers from the Nuxalk First Nations

Our Bella Coola Explorer trips are designed to encompass and introduce you to as much of this stunning environment as is humanly possible. There is a day cruising the fjord exploring Coastal Bella Coola, a day hiking in the Coast Mountains admiring the high alpine, a day floating down the Atnarko River in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, and a day in the air for an Eagle’s eye view of all this magical country. Yes the schedule is certainly busy and ambitious, but then there is so much to see and do that you will want to spend every minute of your time in Bella Coola exploring this unique corner of the world.

All activities are hosted and led by qualified professionals with a wealth of local knowledge and stories. From  trained naturalists, mountain guides, cheerful helicopter pilots, and salty boat captains, these people will make the day and terrain come alive with historical perspective and geographical context.

Join us for the best that Bella Coola has to offer. There is sure to be more adventure packed into these trips than you are likely to experience for the rest of the year.
