Field Notes

We’re getting ready for another epic season of grizzly bear viewing, starting on September 1st! With 600 metres of frontage on the scenic Atnarko River, situated inside Tweedsmuir Provincial Park and the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the healthiest bear habitats in the world. From the chalets and our main lodge deck, it is often possible to see bears wandering past. Occasionally, we even catch them napping on the lawn!

Yahoo! We are excited to say we have received some great recognition recently.

WOW! We have been having a phenomenal Grizzly Bear Viewing season here in the Great Bear Rainforest. The number of grizzlies we have been seeing is unprecedented. Long time locals haven’t seen this many bears in a long time.

Surrounded by the planet’s largest expanse of coastal temperate rainforest, we truly consider ourselves lucky to be amidst the majestic natural beauty that the Bella Coola Valley has to offer.
