Our spring departure brings newly awakened grizzly and black bears feeding
on pink salmonberry blossoms in the shadow of the spectacular snow covered
coastal mountains. These mountains and deep fjords also harbour mountain
goats the feed at sea-level during the spring season.
Our fall tour focuses on the annual return of the salmon to spawn, which in turn
draws the grizzly, spirit and black bears to the river estuaries. This is also the
time when whales including orcas, sea lions, seals, eagles and wolves are active.
This tour highlights Vancouver, Seattle and Portland, which are undoubtedly
some of North America’s most attractive cities and host a great number of
incredible culinary, touring and learning experiences. From the man-made
marvel of the Boeing factory making 787 Dreamliner aircrafts to British
Columbia’s incredible Sea to Sky country, Oregon’s scenic wild coast and the
wonder of the Columbia River Gorge, this tour is truly a one-off and possibly the
trip of a lifetime.
