I'm a travel agent from Vancouver, and I am fortunate enough to have had the incredible opportunity to visit the Great Bear Lodge. What can I say? This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and one that I can sincerely recommend to all of my clients. There really is nothing quite like it! As soon as you arrive, you can immediately... More

My husband and I had a remarkable time at the Great Bear Lodge. Within an hour of arriving, we were out in the boat, heading to the river hoping to catch our first glimpse of wildlife and we were not disappointed, seeing black bears and eagles! We visited the Great Bear Lodge in October so the number of daylight hours... More

We came to BC with the main goal being to see Grizzly Bears and we saw plenty from the Great Bear Lodge. The whole approach was highly professional and the trackers very knowledgeable and interesting. This extended well beyond the bears and included every aspect of the surrounding environment. The research that is being done and the time and effort... More

This place is so special, so remote and so beautiful, I can't imagine anyone being disappointed. The flight over from Port Hardy is amazing, we flew over the snow capped mountains although sometimes because of the weather they fly different routes. The lodge is so welcoming and warm you just want to sit down and drink hot chocolate and eat... More

I can't put into words how amazing everything about this place is - to stay where in the middle of nowhere, for the first 2 days it was only us and the maximum capacity is 10 people so you really do feel exclusive. We saw grizzlies on every trip out but where it is is just so incredible I would... More

We have just returned from our holiday in British Columbia, the highlight of which was bear watching with Great Bear Nature Tours. We flew in a seaplane from Port Hardy to the Great Bear floating lodge, where we stayed for 3 nights, and were taken to the hides along the river to see the grizzly bears fishing in the river....

If you're going to Great Bear Lodge, you've got one thing in mind... view some bears in their natural habitat. However, we found Great Bear Lodge to be more than a sleeping base for a few days of bear watching. It is a comfortable, though basic, haven in a wonderfully idealic location. Whether you see one bear or twenty, just... More

I understand that outside of the fall season the chance of seeing bears is reduced but for the salmon run, which was low in this area in 2010, we saw more than one bear during each of our 6 viewing sessions over the 3 night stay. Most sessions we saw 4 or more bears. The staff are all excellent and... More

We spend 2 nights at this lodge. The place is fantastic and the staff in very friendly. But for us it was a very disappoiting trip as we have not seen any grizzly bears and that was where we came for. The grizzlies where not showing for 2 weeks already so you have a big chance of not seeing them!... More
