After breakfast, meet on the dock at 08.00 for first full day bear viewing adventure to one of our main grizzly viewing estuaries! Our bear viewing takes us to one of several estuaries where we view either from a zodiac or on foot depending on the tide. We do not use viewing platforms, preferring to view wildlife at eye level in their natural habitat. Return by 16.30; buffet dinner at 18.00 followed by evening presentation on some aspect of Great Bear Rainforest, Bears, Whales or First Nations culture.
