Day 1 Campbell River Head to
Campbell River on Vancouver
Island’s east coast. The township
of Campbell River lies on the
shore of Discovery Passage and
boasts views out past Quadra
Island towards the rugged Coast
Mountain range of mainland BC.
Day 2 Campbell River-Knight
Inlet This morning you will be
transferred to the Campbell
River Float Plane dock for your
scenic flight over to Knight
Inlet Lodge. You will be given
a welcome orientation session
providing details of the wildlife
viewing that lies ahead.
Later you will join an excursion
to see the grizzly bears – this
may be by boat or to specially
designed viewing platforms,
depending on the season and
the location of the bears.
Grizzly bears come out of
hibernation in spring and can
be seen from the safety of a
boat as they feed on the banks
of Glendale Cove in Knight
Inlet. Their diet here consists
mainly of sedge grasses,
mussels and barnacles.
Later in the season, during
the autumn, you can enjoy
the incredible spectacle of the
bears feeding on salmon as
they return to the Glendale
River for spawning. A specially
constructed platform allows
for the best possible viewing
of this event, one of nature’s
truly great wildlife sights.
During your stay at Knight Inlet
Lodge there may also be time for
kayaking, guided hiking, a scenic
boat trip and the chance to spot
bald eagles and other bird life.
Whilst a 1-night stay will
be rewarding, this will only
allow time for a short boat
cruise in addition to the bear
watching excursion. We strongly
recommend spending 2 or 3
nights at the lodge in order to
immerse yourself in this great
wilderness and maximise your
wildlife-spotting opportunities.
Day 3: Knight Inlet-Campbell
River Return to Campbell River
by float plane, to continue
your Canadian adventure.

“It was fantastic. Wildlife exceeded all
expectations; saw seals, porpoises, dolphins
and killer whales... Also had many black and
grizzly bears, eagles, otters, mink, osprey and
kingfishers. The whole thing was excellent.”
