Contact an ExpertUltimate fly-in Grizzly Bear Lodge adventure
There are only two Canadian wildlife lodges which have access to the world famous grizzly bear viewing stands at Knight Inlet. They are Knight Inlet Lodge and the smaller and intimate Grizzly Bear lodge, which is less commercial and has a higher guide to client ratio – which is key for all our bespoke Canada wildlife holidays. If you want that real feeling of Canadian wilderness and exploration, there can be no better way to arrive at your bear viewing lodge than by a spectacular floatplane journey from Campbell River. We time your trip perfectly for the best time to see grizzly bears in Canada.
