Flight Destination: Whitehorse, Yukon Canada

Nestled deep in the northern BC wilderness is an incredible place on a river that you just have to experience to believe. Our adventure begins as we board our helicopter for an exciting and scenic trip to our home base for the next few days. While here, we will have the opportunity to experience a closeness and intimacy with the inland grizzly bears seldom experienced by anyone on our planet.  When you arrive by helicopter at the camp you know you are in a true untouched wilderness. Giant white spruce and cotton wood trees tower over the clear water of the river. The camp is built right along the river and offers comfortable heated cabins of double occupancy and a lodge with kitchen and dining room facilities where our chef provides excellent cuisine 3 times a day.

 

You  have the option of  walking to  one of three platforms where they can view bears in a non-guided situation presenting different backdrops. Continuous sightings and encounters are experienced each day right from the deck of the lodge. Grizzly bears as well as bald eagles keep us busy throughout the days. Occasionally moose and wolves are added to the list of sightings and with a little bit of luck even wolverines.

Meals: Cooked fresh and served daily. Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. Can accommodate special dietary requirements.
