Being a “Valley girl” from California I decided to do something really different last summer, so I took an adventure tour with charter boat company, KING SALMON CHESAPEAKE CHARTERS, from Prince Rupert, and spent 2 days in the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary near the Alaskan border. This Sanctuary is the only one of its kind in North America and it... More

Only a few vessels are licensed to take people to the Khutzeymateen. The day trip might seem pricy but it is worth every penny to see the grizzlies in the wild. More

I pre-booked a trip based on Greg's assurances that we could have a refund if the weather wasn't suitable for my photography. The day we arrived it was very windy with rain (some heavy downpours). When I asked for a refund Greg sited his website refund policy which says he only refunds if HE cancels. So now we are out... More

We saw a mother and her cub and the guide let us take pictures for a while. The scenic boat ride was also interesting with informations about some aboriginal villages along the way to the Khutzeymateen... More

Gorgeous scenery and a we have seen a lot of Grizzly Bears which was an extraordinary experience. The boat crew also managed to get Bald Eagles fishing right next to the boat. A guarantee for beautifull pictures. It was one of the highlights of our vacation in Canada. More

This was a trip of a lifetime. We flew via float plane,then off the plane onto a zodiac, greeted by Dan and Sandy, from there we headed towards the sanctuary. We boarded the beautiful Sunchaser anchored near the shore. I have to tell you that this is the most peaceful place , Dan is a high energy host ,with a... More

I spent two days of this advertised four day charter travelling by boat. We left early on the fourth day so did not see anything on day four. It is advertised as a four day tour but this is misleading. Make sure you are flown in by sea plane (which we thought we would be which is a two hour... More
