What makes Great Bears of Bute: Grizzly Bear Viewing & Indigenous Cultural Tour a unique experience ?
Journey in comfort on-board a covered, heated boat through the Salish Sea to Orford Bay.

Trained bear guides transport you by mini-bus to where the bears gather for safe viewing of these magnificent creatures at various sites and wildlife viewing towers along the Orford and Algard Rivers.
