Grizzly Bear Viewing: Throughout September and October at Chilko Lake we have a unique access to grizzly bear viewing in a place where so few others are crowding your experience that bears actually outnumber humans on the water. Surrounded by spruce, fir and fiery fall aspen, cutting through crystal-clear, still water, you will be an eye-witness to one of Mother Nature’s greatest spectacles. Where river meets alpine lake, the azure blue waters begin to burst with a million speckles of blood red sockeye salmon coming to spawn. It is a humbling experience to watch the iconic Grizzly Bear come to feed in its natural habitat, to see mothers with cubs splashing playfully in the water while bald eagles swoop overhead scouring for scraps. A truly immersive wilderness spectacular, this is The Chilko Experience.
This wildlife-viewing tour offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to enter the hidden realm of the mountain grizzly bear. Head out to explore the glassy blue waters, secluded beaches and wild islet forests that embody the striking ecology of Chilko Lake, and witness bears feasting in their natural habitat.
Your journey begins in the peaceful shelter of the northern estuary of Chilko Lake. Below the watchful gaze of ancient glaciers and evergreen mountains we venture out into crystal clear waters pure enough to drink from.Trained guides expertly lead you through stunning lakescapes and into the wild, where the water is alive with leaping salmon and the skies are teeming with watchful eagles and cautious hawks. Majestic grizzly bears roll in to begin their feast, tromping across pebbled shorelines or wading into the water to kick up salmon from the riverbed.
It is a humbling experience to watch the iconic Grizzly Bear come to feed in its natural habitat, to see mothers with cubs splashing playfully in the water while bald eagles swoop overhead scouring for scraps.
It is here you will experience the humbling solitude of the pristine Canadian wilderness, where, in the profound silence, you can hear every footstep, every lap of water, and relish every remarkable moment.
**This is a 100% authentic experience - no viewing platforms, no scripts, just us and the bears**
