Beskrivelse
Afgang fra vores Campbell River Marine Adventure Center ombord på vores komfortable, opvarmede, overdækkede fartøjer til en naturskøn 2 timers bådtur ind til Bute Inlet.
Din ankomst til kajen i Orford Bay begynder en 3 timers landbaseret oplevelse ledet af medlemmer af Homalco First Nations. Lokale oprindelige guider vil transportere dig med bus til en række hævede dyrelivsudsigtsplatforme og førsteklasses udsigtssteder for at lede efter den storslåede grizzlybjørn, elg, skaldet ørne og mere. Grizzlybjørnene samles i Orford River-dalen mellem august og oktober hvert år for at nyde den gydende laks som forberedelse til den lange vinterhi.
Under vores tur til og fra Bute Inlet kan du også se spækhugger, pukkelhvaler, delfiner, marsvin, sorte bjørne, sæler og søløver og en række farverige havfugle – alt sammen i et uspoleret naturmiljø.
Frokosten serveres i Orford Bay med en uhindret udsigt over flodmundingen og dens spektakulære fastlandsbjergomgivelser.

Well worth it!
A really excellent day with friendly, knowledgeable guides and wonderful wildlife viewing. The picnic lunch was also very good. We were lucky to have excellent weather, and we saw 12 grizzlies including a few cubs and yearlings, plus 2 black bears, sealions, golden eagles, humpback whales and lots of beautiful scenery.

Grizzlies Didn't Cooperate...
Any trip like this depends on the conditions on the day, how you get there (including the captain of the boat), and the cooperation of the animals (grizzlies). We had a long day, starting at 10:30am and not getting back until after 8pm. However, the lateness was due to the dedication of the captain (Chris) to finding a pod of Orcas that were hunting in the locality, so that was fine. The actual boat ride is over 100 miles (160 km) and we had a lovely day for the trip. However, some people on the boat were cold and it would be nice if the boat had some blankets to spread over legs. The lunch om the dock when we arrived was pretty basic, but then we loaded up into a small coach for the trip to see Grizzlies. Unfortunately, we only saw bears at one stop, but that's the luck of the draw. The folks running the tour didn't really seem to know how to find bears - at least that was the impression given as we drove around to no avail. One thing that surprised me is that three coaches of visitors toured the area at the same time. I guess that's commerical reality, but don't think that you'll be on your own in the wilderness. We did see some eagles, which was good, and orca and humpback whales and sealions en route. Overall, it was a very nice day.

Amazing experience!!!!
An amazing experience! Seeing grizzly bears in British Columbia was truly unforgettable. The boat trip was fantastic, and we were also lucky enough to spot whales. Captain Jason’s explanations made the whole experience even more interesting and memorable. The staff were knowledgeable and professional, and the experience with the local community to see the grizzlies was fantastic. We had incredibly close and emotional sightings, always in complete safety. Highly recommended!

Incredible, never to forget, experience and highly recommend
Such an incredibly brillant day, from our boat ride with Jason, who was found us Orca, to hump backs, to dolphins, to seals, he knew where they hung out and found them. To the scenery and the peacefulness of the land. Then to be greeted by the wonderful Holmalco people, Cheyenne, and James were our guides and welcomed us to their land, where they told us and taught us alot of their stories, language, customs.We found bears or all sizes, mamas with their cubs to one giant loner. It was an experience of a lifetime, one we will never forget and have come to appreciate the beauty of BC

Great Trip & Proffessional Company
Bear Watching with Paul was a Great Trip, we saw 6 Bears, Golden & Bald Eagle, added bonus of seeing Hump Backs and Orcas on the way to the island. Was a great day with a very professional company and the communication by email and verbally was first class. Want a great trip then book this company for a great day out.

Fantastic day or wildlife
We had a fantastic guide Jason who found us incredible sea life on the way to and from the bear expedition. We saw mating orca, humpback whales, sea lions and an enormous pod of dolphins.
With the Homalco wildlife and cultural tour guides for the land based expedition we were lucky enough to see 6 grizzlies, including a mumma and cubs.
Would highly recommend.

Awesome experience!
Fabulous day! Big Animal Encounters is a top-notch company, epitomizing Canadian hospitality at its finest. We first watched a safety video, then boarded the very comfortable enclosed boat. Our guide, Jason, ensured we had time to enjoy watching the humpback whales on the trip out. They seemed to frolic - lots of breaching and waving their large pectoral fins. What a treat! Stellar seal lions, Dall’s porpoises, and Bald Eagles also made appearances. Although we had planned to eat the very yummy sack lunches on board the boat, our First Nation Homalco guides, Kalvin and Wilson, invited us to eat in the Homalco Meeting House. We enjoyed the warmth of the wood fire and time to read several posters to learn more about this First Nation tribe. Then, off on the bus to several grizzly bear viewing sites. Although people returning from an earlier excursion had reported seeing lots of bears, and guide Jason said the same about his outing the day before, our group instead practiced quiet patience. Finally, Wilson announced “Bears!”, and we watched in awe as a grizzly sow fished for herself and her two cubs. Clumsy little tykes! One kept doing belly flops onto the salmon in the river. Cute, but certainly not effective. Good thing Mom had the knack for scooping a salmon at every attempt. We bade farewell to Kalvin and Wilson and returned to the boat. Forty-plus years’ experience on these waters guided Jason’s choice of the safest route back to Campbell River. Still, the tide faced opposing winds, and the seas were rough. We appreciated having a seasoned helmsman whom we trusted completely. We would encourage anyone considering such an excursion to go with Big Animal Encounters- and we hope you will have Jason as your guide.

Needs a new Boat Captain
Amazing trip with the Grizzly Bear tour part, but the boat driver, Paul, was rude and aggressive. Saw him yell at a German lady for walking to the tour bus, he had several goes at an Arab guy, not racist but rude. Would not answer questions or engage. Made it really tense. But remove the boat ride there and back, bloody amazing we saw 13 Grizzlys
