River Safari
In the heart of the planet ’ s only inland temperate rainforest , board one of the specially-designed boats for this smooth but exciting one-hour River Safari . Explore up to 12 kilometres of the spectacular Grizzly Bear Valley – where the bears decide when and for how long you stop along the way .
As you are travelling up small rivers , gliding over water only inches deep and going where it seems no boat has gone before , you are sure to fall witness to a variety of active wildlife always seen on these riverbanks . In addition to an informationpacked narrative , guides will point out the bears , glaciers and many waterfalls toppling from the surrounding snow-capped mountains .
To complete your perfect Canadian wilderness experience , enjoy a meal in the unique floating restaurant where the special menu focuses around wild salmon , game , berries and greens , the favourites from a bear ’ s diet . With a boat departing every 30-60 minutes , no reservation is required , making the River Safari an absolute ' must-do ' activity . Your point of departure is conveniently located just north of Blue River on Yellow Head Highway Five just halfway between Jasper and Kamloops , as well as halfway between Mount Robson and Wells Grey Park .
