Canada : Grizzly Bear Adventure at Knight Inlet

Grizzly bears come out of hibernation in spring and can be seen from the safety of a boat as they feed on the banks of Glendale Cove in Knight Inlet. Their diet here consists mainly of sedge grasses, mussels and barnacles that abound in the cove.

Later in the season, during the autumn, you can enjoy the incredible spectacle of the bears feeding on salmon as they return to the Glendale River for spawning. A specially constructed platform allows for the best possible viewing of this event, one of nature’s truly great wildlife sights.

Knight Inlet Lodge is floating property anchored 60 kilometres from the mouth of the inlet in sheltered Glendale Cove. The Lodge will be your base for some memorable encounters with the grizzly bears.

During your stay at Knight Inlet Lodge there may also be time available for kayaking, guided hiking, scenic boat trips and the chance to spot bald eagles and other bird life. Whilst a 1-night stay will be rewarding, we strongly recommend 2 or 3 nights at the lodge in order to immerse yourself into this great wilderness and maximise your wildlife-spotting opportunities.

The lodge itself is an assortment of construction styles dating from the early 1940’s, when the original float housed a logging camp. Today the lodge offers 15 comfortable guest rooms in a unique setting.

This package is available as 2, 3 or 4-night options including an overnight stay in Campbell River (Vancouver Island) on Day 1. We can also arrange air transfers from Vancouver. Contact us to find out how this can fit into your holidays plans.
