Campbell River: Bute Inlet Grizzly-Watching Tour & Boat Ride

  • Mobile ticket

  • Offered in: English

Your expedition begins with boarding our comfortable covered vessel, complete with a heated cabin and onboard washroom. The 2.5-hour journey to Bute Inlet is a marine wildlife experience in itself, as our expert naturalist guides provide commentary and we keep a lookout for whales, dolphins, and sea lions along the way. Once we arrive at the bear viewing location in the Orford River Valley, you'll enjoy an included lunch on the dock before being greeted by your Indigenous guides from the Homalco First Nation. You'll then board a van to travel along the inlet's rivers, safely observing grizzly bears catching salmon during the annual run from various viewing towers. After approximately 3 hours of bear viewing, you'll return to our boat for the journey home, with more time to spot whales and enjoy the coastal scenery. This tour does include a number of stairs and walking. If you have any concerns about your mobility, please contact us. We require a minimum age of 12 years old.
