Come cruise the Great Bear Rainforest / BC Central coast with us in 2012! The focus on our ‘Great Bear Rainforest’ trip is on exploring the remote islands and inlets of this special area. See magnificent waterfalls, view ancient Petroglyphs, see whales frolic in the waters and watch grizzly bears fish for salmon in the estuaries. We expect to see Grizzly bears, black bears and Kermode / Spirit bears and benefit from the knowledge of local native Gitga’at guides. This nature cruise through the Great Bear Rainforest is full of spectacular scenery and wildlife. Come explore the BC Coast!

Natural History of the Great Bear Rainforest

When you sail the Great Bear Rainforest you will see Islands and intricate waterways beneath towering mountains…lush, coastal temperate forests…wilderness alive with eagles, ravens, salmon, bears and wolves…ten thousand year old native cultures…and now the opportunity to adventure along these waterways, inside the forest, seek for wildlife, meet native guides and learn the why the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the last gems on the Pacific Coast. This small ship cruise of central BC, is comparable to no other.

The description “Great Bear Rainforest” was created because the region holds the largest remaining areas of original coastal rainforest left on the entire Pacific coast. Ecologically, the name refers to the significant populations of black, grizzly and kermode bear that are supported by the abundant salmon runs for food, and lack of human development. It is a long, convoluted maze of narrow waterways and fiords. Emerald forests of western hemlock and red cedar clock lush river valleys and broad estuaries. Biologically abundant and diverse, the area is also ecologically fragile.
