キャンベル川でトバクマと野生のハイイログマ観賞

More than a tour, a truly crazy immersion in nature! Not only the sighting of grizzly bears in their habitat but a wonderful boat trip to reach the superlative meeting place! Captain and first mate super prepared and local rangers available and very good at catching the bears at the key moment . Try it!!

My tour captain of the day was Kelsie and beautiful Janet. Both of them took great care and attention to us the entire tour. From the smooth rides, stops for whales, orcas watching, to pointing out the bears during the tour. They shared lovely insights of the trip and Kelsie was such a good photographer. He even shared the photos he took that day with me and the group. It was one of the best bear experience I can ever imagine. We got a chance to see black and grizzly bears both in the same river, a mother bear nursing her baby cub and so much more action at Toba inlet. You have to be there to witness how awesome the bears are in their natural habitat. The food was simple and delicious and the view while having lunch was out of this world. I highly recommend this tour and booking super early because I lucked out by getting the last waitlist spot and I am so blessed by this opportunity.

Michelle and Emma awesome guides. Michelle is an excellent boat operator; water conditions were rough at times. Thank you to both for your professionalism and knowledge. Partner Khaloose guides knew exactly where to find the bears. We had an an amazing time.

From the get go my experience with Homalco tours was sensational. My guides that day were Guy and Emma and they were not only professional but engaging and knowledgeable. Despite it being a long day the time was invigorating. I am a professional animal artist and my main goal was Grizzly photos. It did not disappoint! Observing them in their natural habitat and their interactions was fulfilling and successful. I plan to come back and take this tour again as soon as it’s possible!

This trip was probably the most expensive day trip we’ve ever booked, but it was 100% worth it. So much care and attention goes into making the day comfortable and special for you, and we highly recommend it. The check-in process was quick and easy. There were complimentary drinks and fruit to start your day, and plenty of chairs to sit on while you’re waiting to get going (and a toilet!). Once on board, the boat is very comfortable, both inside and out. The journey over to the inlets is quite far, but the scenery is beautiful and you’re always on the lookout for whales, so it goes by quickly. You could choose to close your eyes if you so wished — nobody would mind! We were lucky to see a couple of Orca which was rather special. We stopped near a waterfall for a lunch break, with the engines off. It was pure bliss, and the sandwiches and cookie provided were fantastic! We then arrived at our destination and were given a quick safety briefing before heading out to look for bears. We visited six bear hides in total and felt safe the whole time. We were driven by Virgil and led by Leon, both great guys. We could see Grizzly bears feeding on salmon downstream from the first hide we visited, as well as other wildlife such as Turkey Vultures and herons. We didn’t have much luck at the next few hides, but that’s the nature of wildlife spotting. We were rewarded at the end of our trip with a lone Grizzly, a black bear, and then a family of three Grizzly bears. It was fantastic and rounded the trip off nicely. It’s a pleasant trip back, chatting about everything you’ve seen with like-minded people. We were also lucky enough to see Steller sea lions on the way back, as well as a lovely sunset. Our guide Johnny and our skipper Clyde were fantastic and made the trip very special for all of us on board. Thank you!

The boat takes 2.5 hrs through areas that get more and more remote to reach Toba inlet and on route we saw humpback whales, seals and sealions. A full 3 hours with the bears (5 Grizzly and 4 black) catching and eating salmon so close to the platforms, a dozen bald eagles and a great guide in Leon. Then back on the boat and on the return we saw orcas hunting seals. A day in a million!

Have you ever wanted to be dropped into a National Geographic article or Planet Earth episode? These tours are your chance. We had an EPIC day with skipper Holly & naturist Johnny touring the Toba Inlet. From their abundance of information and enthusiasm to the Klahoose guides to the logistics, everything was so smoothly run and friendly and safe. But the stars of the show are the BEARS. We saw at least half a dozen grizzlies including 2 year old twins being breastfed by mama and a 6 month old cub within a few feet of our viewing platform. PLUS we saw sea lions, seals, bald eagles, many more birds and a humpback whale! A few pics here don’t do this tour justice: do it yourself! And see if you can get Holly and/or Johnny. Bravo to Homalco!

This company are very professional and considerate of their environment The meeting point was easy to find and they had tea and coffee while we waited. The trip was amazing as we were taken by fast boat to an area that the Inuit tribe originally lived which is now populated by grizzly bears. We saw whales on the way and way back plus had 3 hours at various safe lookout cabins where we saw bears fishing, swimming playing in their natural environment It was epic Well worth the money

We did the bear viewing tour to Toba inlet and it was a great experience. Really well organised and both the captain of the boat (Morgan) and the naturalist (Jonny) were super friendly, very knowledgeable and lovely guys - captain morgan even delayed our departure at the end of the day so we could spend more time viewing a grizzly and her cub at the final viewing platform. Saw bears at the start and the end of the day, as well as whales on the way there and back. Would definitely recommend

The boat trip is a bit long, especially the way back, but very much worth it. Unfortunately, we could only see the bears at tower 5, which was great. Mother with two 3-year-old boys and a mother with an 8-month-old baby were feasting on the surplus salmon. The guide was super.
