Watch grizzly and black bears in their natural habitat as you float down the beautiful Atnarko River and Bella Coola River in the Great Bear Rainforest from the safety of a raft or boat on a four-to-five hour informative and awe-inspiring tour.

Highlights:

• Watch bears swimming, relaxing, playing and catching spawning salmon.
• Learn about bear behaviour, feeding habits, hibernation and ecology.
• The raft or dory allows you to see bears from river level, so you feel like you’re actually in the water with the bears.
• Learn about the life cycle of salmon and their relationship with the local ecosystem.
