Great Bear Rainforest

BC Central Coast: Bears, Whales, and Totem Poles

The Inside Passage, the sheltered waters between Vancouver Island and Alaska's Panhandle, is becoming well known as the Great Bear Rainforest, and reputed to be one of the most scenic coastlines in the world. We journey into deep fjords, bays and inlets surrounded by lush coastal rainforest, and snowy mountain peaks.

These incredibly rich waters nurture a wide variety and abundance of wildlife. We will visit the habitat of the rare Kermode bear (Spirit Bear), explore the home of the White sided dolphins and Orca whale, alongside the hundred of sea birds nesting along these shores.

We will also have the opportunities to visit and study the heritage sites of the Heiltsuk, Kitasoo and Haisla people who have lived along this coast for thousands of years.
