Spirit Bear Mother and Cub

Enter the sanctuaries of black and grizzly bears as they feed on salmon and play in pristine forests.

Join an autumn wildlife expedition and traverse life-sustaining waters with certified guides in safe vessels. Seek the famous cream-coloured grizzly, sometimes known as a Spirit Bear, in the heart of the temperate Great Bear Rainforest. Generations of cultural knowledge and experience sharing land with these creatures make Indigenous-guided bear watching expeditions safe and transformative wilderness experiences.
