Knight Inlet Lodge
4 or 5 Day Extension, Vancouver > Vancouver
Venture to the wild and pristine region of Western Canada’s Pacific Northwest. Experience the incomparable thrill of close encounters with some of North America’s most impressive creatures – massive grizzly bears, soaring bald eagles and pods of orcas.
From May to late August spot mother grizzly’s and their cubs feeding and playing in the tall grass. Come Fall, see the spawning of salmon in one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles. Onward from late August to mid-October, the grizzly’s gather in a spectacular sight and take to rivers, catching the salmon as they strive upstream. Whatever time you visit, you’ll find yourself in a world of amazing wonder.
*Terms and conditions apply.
Board a flight from Vancouver to Campbell River (flight not included), situated on the east coast of Vancouver Island. After checking into the Comfort Inn & Suites for the night, explore the town.
Get a taste of the splendors in store as you stroll along Discovery Pier and look out over the views of Discovery Passage, Quadra Island and the Coast Mountain Range on British Columbia’s mainland.
Transfer by floatplane and marvel at the magnificent views on your way to Glendale Cove, Knight Inlet. Your cosy floating lodge for the next three nights - Knight Inlet Lodge - is exclusive to Scenic.
Glendale Cove is home to one of the largest concentrations of grizzly bears in British Columbia. Venture up the estuary through shallow tidal waters in search of these impressive and awe-inducing creatures.
Later, enjoy lunch at the lodge before a second expedition in search of bears and a sightseeing cruise. Be captivated by tremendous waterfalls, ancient glaciers and wild rivers teeming with life. Make sure you keep an eye out for other wildlife in the area, such as seals, sea lions and dolphins.
Evenings at the lodge are the perfect end to an amazing day, where you can relax and catch up with your fellow explorers over a sumptuous dinner with included wine.
Meals: B, L, D
Venture out on a guided walk of the beautiful Kwalate River Valley and experience the wonder of the temperate rainforest ecosystem. Alternatively, enjoy a guided tracking tour and learn more about bear habitat and behaviour.
To round out the day, you’ll have another opportunity to search for bears before dinner, either by boat in the spring or from the viewing platforms in the summer. Either way, you’re sure to have amazing photo opportunities.
Meals: B, L, D
Guests booked on the 5 day package will have the opportunity today to view Canada’s other beautiful beast – the mighty whale. Venture out on a marine tour over miles of untouched wilderness and revel in intimate encounters with orcas along with other marine life like porpoises and birds. Perhaps be lucky enough to see the magnificent humpback breaching and blowing. This evening, enjoy one last dinner at your floating lodge.
Meals: B, L, D
4-day guests have one last opportunity to view the bears this morning before departing on the floatplane to Campbell River and connecting flight to Vancouver (flight not included).
Grab your one last chance for a tour to view the bears by sea kayak or boat before your floatplane flight to Campbell River departs. On arrival, transfer to the airport for your connecting flight to Vancouver (flight not included).
