BLUE RIVER ACCOMMODATION & TOURING / British Columbia
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 through glacier-fed rivers and lakes, you are sure to fall witness
to a variety of active wildlife always seen on these riverbanks. In addition to an
information-packed 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 exceptional menu features 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 easy and enjoyable addition to your stay in the area. Your point of
departure is conveniently located just north of Blue River on Yellow Head Highway
Five, halfway between Jasper and Kamloops, and halfway between Mount Robson and
Wells Grey Park.
