Whales & Bears of British Columbia

Nine days through British Columbia built around one thing: giving wildlife the best chance to show up. You're on Vancouver Island for much of it, moving between beaches and forest trails at Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, with whale and bear watching as the main focus.

Sightings are never guaranteed, but this stretch of coast has a genuine track record — humpbacks, orcas and black bears alongside seals, elk and beavers. It's an easy-paced trip, more about being in the right places at the right times than covering distance.

Small group, fully guided, with a choice of private or shared rooms depending on what you book.
