Wonderful morning in the forest

Amazing tour with excellent and friendly guide, Alex. Although we didn’t view any bears we learnt so much and it was so good being in the forest and seeing the spectacular views - a highlight of our visit to Whistler,

Great Bear Hunt

Our guide, Chris, was very informative and knowledgable! We learned so many new facts about black bears and the region! He was very interactive and made the tour so enjoyable! We got to see a beautiful bear cub!

Amazing!

Amazing experience. Very knowledgeable guide and saw a mum bear and 2 cubs. Due to the guides knowledge we actually had them cross the road in front of us 3 times.

Great guide and surroundings, no bears this time though!

We had a lovely, knowledgable and clearly passionate guide who took us to the Olympic park and told us a lot about the bears and the area on the way. Sadly, none of the trips that evening saw anything despite the cooler weather and dusk timings - such is the nature of looking for animals in the wild respectfully and properly. Still it was a good experience.

Review...

Review We had a fantastic time on The Whistler Bear tour this morning with Rafa, exploring in the 4x4 Jeep. We toured around the old Olympic Park and saw the impressive ski jumps from the 2010 Winter Olympics. The highlight was definitely spotting a beautiful 3-year-old bear in the wild! Rafa was brilliant and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour! 🐻🚙🏔️

Very good tour.

We had an incredible time. The landscapes are incomparable, the forests incredible. We were not lucky enough to see bears, but even so, it is a tour that is worth taking. Our guide was great, very good conversation. We definitely recommend it. Thank you!
