Vancouver Island: Full-Day Grizzly Bear Tour at Toba Inlet
Your expedition begins at our Campbell River marina, where you'll board our comfortable covered vessel, complete with a heated cabin and onboard washroom. The 2.5-hour journey to Toba Inlet is a marine wildlife experience in itself, as our expert naturalist guides provide commentary and we keep a lookout for whales, dolphins, and sea lions along the way. You'll enter Toba Inlet, a remote fjord of towering mountains, stunning jade-green glacial waters, and cascading waterfalls. Once we arrive at the bear viewing location, you'll enjoy an included lunch on the dock before being greeted by your Indigenous guides from the Klahoose First Nation. You'll then board a van to travel along the inlet's rivers, arriving at viewing platforms. Here, you will safely observe grizzly bears catching salmon during the annual run. After approximately 3 hours of immersive bear viewing, you'll return to our boat for the journey home, with more time to spot whales and enjoy the coastal scenery.

Grizzly Bear Expedition
Depart from our Campbell River Marine Adventure Centre aboard our comfortable, heated, covered vessels for a scenic 2 hour boat trip into Bute Inlet. Your arrival at the dock in Orford Bay begins a 3 hour land-based experience led by members of the Homalco First Nations. Local Indigenous guides will transport you by bus to a variety of raised wildlife viewing platforms and prime ground viewing locations to look for the magnificent grizzly bear, elk, bald eagles, and more. The grizzly bears converge on the Orford River valley between August and October every year to feast on the spawning salmon in preparation for the long winter hibernation. During our trip to and from Bute Inlet you may also see killer whales, humpback whales, dolphins, porpoises, black bears, seals and sea lions, and a variety of colourful sea birds – all in an unspoiled natural environment. Lunch is served in Orford Bay with an unobstructed view of the estuary and its spectacular mainland mountain surroundings.
