              Grizzly bear catching salmon at Great Bear Lodge BC during a guided wildlife tour

              BC WILDLIFE ADVENTURE | GREAT BEAR LODGE

                Embark on one of the world’s top wildlife adventures — as recognized by National Geographic — and witness grizzly bears in their natural habitat at Great Bear Lodge BC.
                
                Tucked beside a pristine salmon river in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, this remote eco-lodge is a dream base for photography and wildlife tours. With only 16 guests hosted at a time, Great Bear Lodge offers an intimate and immersive experience unlike any other. After twice-daily guided bear viewing sessions, return to wilderness-inspired gourmet meals and cozy, eco-friendly comfort.

                While most visitors come for the awe-inspiring grizzly encounters, many leave with a deeper appreciation for the intricate rainforest ecosystem that sustains these great bears.

                This region is home to one of the highest concentrations of coastal grizzly bears in British Columbia. In spring and summer, grizzlies feed on lush estuary grasses and sedges. Come late summer and autumn, the salmon run draws them to the rivers in staggering numbers — a spectacle of raw nature few ever forget. Thanks to their coastal diet, these grizzlies grow larger than their inland cousins.

                Between wildlife tours, guests can join a guided interpretive walk, a scenic boat trip, or simply relax with a book from our extensive natural history library.
