Package Description
Bella Coola, British Columbia is home to one of the highest concentrations of grizzly bears on the planet. Each year, as wild Pacific salmon return to the area and swim upstream, migratory grizzly bears congregate in large numbers along surrounding river banks in search of protein-rich enhancements to their spring diet of bulbs and berries.
The lodge’s close proximity to the Atnarko River, along with its private viewing platform, allows for ample opportunities for frequent, diverse, and unobtrusive encounters from a safe and respectful distance.
Self-directed viewing opportunities are supplemented by a curated combination of Grizzly Bear Viewing River Drifts and Grizzly Bear Ecology Walking Tours. Each day, our team of professional wilderness and wildlife guides will lead awe-inspiring interpretive excursions into the everyday lives of these remarkable animals.
Our Grizzly Bear Viewing River Drifts offer a silent safari around the cascading curves of the Atnarko River, drifting by feeding bears and eddying out along the secluded shoreline to observe remarkable bear behaviour. Our Grizzly Bear Ecology Walks offer the opportunity to move through critical bear habitats in tandem with a certified bear viewing guide in order to gain eye-level insights into the sights, sounds, and smells of the surroundings.
