Wildlife Safari in British Columbia
6-Day Grizzly Bear & Whale Watching Adventure
Tour Overview
British Columbia is home to some of the most spectacular wildlife on the planet. On the Wildlife Safari in British Columbia, you will come face-to-face with Canada's most iconic animals in their natural habitat — from massive grizzly bears feasting on salmon to majestic orca and humpback whales breaching in the Pacific Ocean.
Our expert wildlife guides have spent years working in BC's coastal wilderness and know exactly where to find the best wildlife encounters. We maintain small group sizes to ensure minimal disturbance to the animals and maximum immersion for our guests. All boat tours use low-impact vessels operated by licensed wildlife viewing operators.
Base yourself in Telegraph Cove and Knight Inlet — two of BC's premier wildlife hotspots — and experience the raw, unspoiled beauty of Canada's west coast wilderness.
