Depart Telegraph Cove 7:00 a.m. Travel to Glendale Cove in Knight's Inlet. Return to Telgraph Cove by 4:30 p.m.

Experience the thrill of a lifetime watching grizzly bears catch salmon on the spawning channels of a BC coastal stream. These coastal grizzlies, also called brown or Kodiak bears in Alaska, are up to 400 lbs heavier than their interior relatives because of the abundant salmon. Fall is when the bears need to pile on fat for hibernation. Grizzlies congregate on the river estuary then move upstream as the fish spread throughout the river system. They may catch 15 fish in an hour. Bald eagles are everywhere.

We view the bears in safety from on top of our camouflaged safari van and viewing stand. Your guides are professional biologists and have the most experience with the grizzly bears in this area. We know their habits and personalities. Every bear has its own techniques for fishing, each bear a little different. As you watch the grizzlies fish, wrestle and frolic your guide will interpret their behavior. Bring lots of film. There's lots of action.

This day tour travels by water taxi from Telegraph Cove, the whale watching center on Vancouver Island, to see the grizzlies in the land of the Da'Naxda'xw First Nations people in Knight Inlet. This tour company has BC Wildlife Branch tenured access to the Glendale Spawning Channel bear viewing area. A lunch on the boat amidst the splendor of Knight Inlet is provided.
