Canada and Alaska West Coast Canada 4 Day Wildlife Experience at Farewell Harbour Lodge
4 Days
Arrive by water taxi to your remote lodge surrounded by 50 acres of beautifully forested land. Relax in the wide-open space on Berry Island located between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia with the Queen Charlotte Strait to the west and Knight Inlet to the east. With only 12 units of accommodation in total, this secluded escape is truly away from the crowds and a place to “disconnect from the virtual world and reconnect with the natural world”. Each accommodation unit is a private oceanside or waterfront view guest room with an ensuite bathroom, a cozy stove and two extra-long double beds. Adventures include wildlife excursions for bears and marine life, coastal safari tours, sea kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, rainforest walks and forest bathing.
Embark on a travel experience that will stay with you forever. We offer a blend of culture, adventure, and tranquility, ensuring every moment is filled with wonder. Whether you're seeking thrill or relaxation, we create journeys that are truly unforgettable.
Today you'll take a water taxi from Alder Bay for a scenic 30 minute service to Farewell Harbour where you'll be greeted by Farewell Harbour Lodge staff at the dock. You'll have a welcome orientation and lunch then time to settle into your accommodations. Your first tour heads out this afternoon in search of marine wildlife in the waters of Johnstone Strait and Blackfish Sound. This evening you'll enjoy dinner and a briefing on the next day's activities and a presentation on the subject of coastal ecology.
Enjoy an early breakfast before departing for a full day bear viewing adventure to one of the main grizzly viewing estuaries. Depending where you adventure to today and the tide you will be viewing from zodiac or on foot. You'll return to the lodge in time for dinner and an evening presentation on the Great Bear Rainforest, bears, whales or First Nations Culture in the area.
Another early breakfast this morning to maximize the best time in the day for wildlife viewings. You'll be on the water by 8am for either a second bear viewing safari or a more extensive exploration of Johnstone Strait and Blackfish Sound. Orcas typically return to these water mid-July and Humpbacks and other marine life remain throughout the season. You'll return in time for dinner and another evening program.
Before you depart back to Vancouver Island you'll have chance to select another short experience. You can choose a morning kayak excursion in the protected crystalline waters near Farewell Harbour Lodge, a marine mammal excursion, a rainforest walk or forest bathing walk. Take a late morning water taxi back to Alder Bay.
