The breathtaking landscapes of the Canadian Rockies are no secret. These spectacular mountains, which slice through Canada’s provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, have been attracting admirers ever since the country was first founded back in 1867. The best of this visual splendour is protected within Banff National Park, a world-famous reserve which offers new and dramatic vistas around every bend, from steep glacier-carved valleys and jagged snowy peaks to flower-filled meadows and vivid turquoise lakes. Within this dramatic landscape lives an exciting array of mammals and birds such as Grizzly and Black Bears, Moose, Harlequin Duck, Mountain Bluebird, Clark’s Nutcracker and many more. To the west of the Rockies, the landscapes and wildlife of central and coastal British Columbia are equally enthralling and on this new tour we will traverse the whole province, stopping en route to enjoy the birds of the delightful Okanagan Valley, before ending in the forests and wetlands that surround the attractive city of Vancouver.

We begin our holiday with a flight to Calgary. Here we spend our first three nights whilst we adjust to the time difference and explore the variety of habitats nearby in search of, amongst others, Sandhill Crane, Wilson’s Phalarope and perhaps even a Great Grey Owl. Moving on, we enter the Rockies themselves, with two nights in the spectacular surroundings of Banff National Park. During our time here we will visit such iconic sites as Lake Louise and the Vermillion Lakes and look for a wonderful variety of wildlife including Rocky Mountain Elk and Bighorn Sheep, Varied Thrush and Townsend’s Warbler. Next, we head west over the ‘Continental Divide’ and begin our crossing of British Columbia with a night each in Salmon Arm and Kamloops, before dropping south for four nights in the attractive Okanagan Valley. The surrounding patchwork of woodlands, lakes, orchards and grasslands are home to a wonderful variety of birdlife including Western Grebe, Lewis’s Woodpecker, Lazuli Bunting and Western Bluebird to name but a few. We end the tour with two nights in Vancouver and, after a final look at the local Varied Thrushes, Harlequin Ducks and Anna’s Hummingbirds, we must bid farewell to some of Canada’s most spectacular landscapes and exciting wildlife and fly home.

  • Explore the world-famous Banff National Park
  • Search for Black Bear, Rocky Mountain Elk, Moose & Mountain Goat.
  • Great Grey Owl, Williamson’s Sapsucker, Cape May Warbler & Mountain Bluebird all possible
  • Enjoy the landscapes & birdlife of the beautiful Okanagan Valley

  • Led by expert naturalist guides

Tell me about Canada …

With a land mass of almost nine million square kilometres, Canada is the second largest country in the world. It is bounded to the west by the Pacific Ocean and Alaska, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the north-east by Greenland and to the south by the USA. To the north lies the polar ice-cap.


The landscape is extremely diverse, ranging from the Arctic tundra of the north to the great wheatlands in the centre. The spectacular Rocky Mountains are found in the west and in the south-east are the Great Lakes, the St Lawrence River and the mighty Niagara Falls.

The country is divided into 10 provinces and three territories, all of which have their own distinct character and traditions. Canada offers wonderful wilderness experiences, vibrant cities and outstanding wildlife.

The breathtaking landscapes of the Canadian Rockies are no secret. These spectacular mountains, which slice through Canada’s provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, have been attracting admirers ever since the country was first founded back in 1867. The best of this visual splendour is protected within Banff National Park, a world-famous reserve which offers new and dramatic vistas around every bend, from steep glacier-carved valleys and jagged snowy peaks to flower-filled meadows and vivid turquoise lakes. Within this dramatic landscape lives an exciting array of mammals and birds such as Grizzly and Black Bears, Moose, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Harlequin Duck, Mountain Bluebird, Clark’s Nutcracker and many more. To the west of the Rockies, the landscapes and wildlife of central and coastal British Columbia are equally enthralling and on this tour we will traverse the whole province, stopping en route to enjoy the birds of the delightful Okanagan Valley, before ending in the forests and wetlands that surround the attractive city of Vancouver.

We begin our holiday with a flight to Calgary in the Canadian province of Alberta. Here we spend our first three nights whilst we adjust to the time difference and explore the variety of habitats nearby in search of, amongst others, Sandhill Crane, Wilson’s Phalarope, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, the attractive and localised Cape May Warbler and perhaps even a Great Grey Owl. Moving on, we enter the Rockies themselves, with two nights in the spectacular surroundings of Banff National Park. During our time here we will visit the dramatic Bow Valley Parkway and visit such iconic sites as Lake Louise and the Vermillion Lakes. As well as marvelling at the breathtaking scenery, we will be on the lookout for an exciting variety of birds and a selection of the park's 53 species of mammal, including Grizzly and Black Bears, Rocky Mountain Elk, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Moose, Mountain Goat, Canadian Beaver, Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel, Great Northern Diver (Common Loon), Canada Jay, Clark's Nutcracker, Varied Thrush, Boreal Chickadee, Pine Grosbeak and Townsend’s Warbler.

Next, we head west over the ‘Continental Divide’, enter British Columbia and begin our crossing of the province — watching out for Black Bears as we travel — with a single night each in the towns of Salmon Arm and Kamloops, before dropping south through the attractive Okanagan Valley for four nights split between the towns of Kelowna and Oliver. En route we will make a brief stop at a woodland near Revelstoke where a variety of birds more associated with Canada's eastern forests can be found including Red-eyed Vireo, Veery, American Redstart, Magnolia Warbler and Gray Catbird.

The Okanagan Valley is one of the finest birdwatching areas in the whole of western Canada and the region's patchwork of woodlands, lakes, forested hills, orchards and grasslands are home to a wonderful variety of birdlife. During our time here we will visit a cross-section of these habitats, starting in the mountains to the east of the Okanagan Falls where we will search for Golden Eagle, MacGillivray's Warbler, Canyon and Rock Wrens and a suite of woodpeckers including Williamson's and Red-naped Sapsuckers, American Three-toed Woodpecker and, the largest of the family, the impressive Piliated Woodpecker. At nearby Vaseux Lake a herd of California Bighorn Sheep can often be found. We will also explore an area of dry sagebrush — part of Canada's so-called 'Pocket Desert' — home to Lark, Grasshopper and Brewer's Sparrows and the endangered Sage Thrasher. Nearby prairie grasslands hold Western Meadowlarks, Lazuli Bunting, Mountain Bluebird and North America's smallest bird, the diminutive Calliope Hummingbird, whilst nocturnal forays around Penticton may reveal a Western Screech-Owl, Flammulated Owl or Common Poorwill. There should also be time to visit Robert Lake near Kelowna, a reed-fringed shallow lagoon where ducks such as Redhead, Wood Duck and Lesser Scaup and waders including Wilson's Phalarope, American Avocet and Spotted Sandpiper regularly breed.

We end our tour on British Columbia's Pacific coast with two nights near the attractive city of Vancouver.  Here we will have a final opportunity to enjoy the Varied Thrushes, Harlequin Ducks and other species seen previously, along with a suite of new 'Pacific Coast' birds such as Glaucous-winged and California Gulls, Black Oystercatcher, Surf Scoter, Pelagic Cormorant, Sooty Grouse, Anna’s Hummingbird, Chestnut-backed Chickadee and Red-breasted Sapsucker. Finally, as our holiday draws to a close, we will make our way to Vancouver Airport, bid farewell to some of Canada’s most spectacular landscapes and exciting wildlife and begin our journey home.

[name] => Great Bear Lodge [slug] => great-bear-lodge [description] => [introduction] => The adventure begins even before you reach Great Bear Lodge with an exciting 30-minute float plane ride from Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. The views are truly breathtaking and as you cross Queen Charlotte Strait you may even spot a pod of Orca, Pacific White-sided Dolphins or Humpback Whales! This wonderful small wilderness lodge is set deep within the Nekite Valley in the Great Bear Rainforest, and its river estuary is a magnet for hungry Grizzly Bears. The lodge sits on floating pontoons and accommodates a maximum of 16 guests in comfortable twin-bedded rooms each with a private bathroom. Delicious, fresh, home cooked gourmet meals are produced in the kitchen by endlessly cheerful staff. Dinner is the main social event of the day, where guests get a chance to mingle and discuss the day’s sightings. In the autumn you will enjoy morning and afternoon bear-viewing sessions overlooking the Nekite River where the Grizzly Bears fish for salmon between August and October. Viewing is either by hide or from an open wooden platform and the photo opportunities are superb! In the spring bear-viewing mostly takes place by boat and focuses on the nearby Nekite Estuary where the bears feed on sedge after their long winter hibernation.    Nestling against a backdrop of snow-clad peaks, forested hillsides and spectacular waterfalls, this floating lodge is in a wonderfully peaceful location. To sit quietly in the early morning with only the sound of the birdsong breaking the silence, the cry of a Bald Eagle overhead or the splash of a playful River Otter nearby is something you will treasure for ever.

It is perfectly situated for exploration of the Great Bear Rainforest, either by water or on land! The Grizzly Bear viewing from the lodge is some of the best in the world, with viewing platforms strategically located to allow for excellent photography of bears fishing for salmon. Guests might also enjoy bear-watching by kayak or taking an interpretive walk with a local indigenous guide. Knight Inlet is the longest fjord on British Colombia’s coast, and the lodge is backed by a wild and remote landscape of spectacular mountains and the vibrant greens of the temperate rainforest. The lodge has a west coast B.C. feel, with western cedar cladding and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Each of the lodge’s 18 en suite rooms are very comfortable and homely, with views of either the sparkling Glendale Cove or the shoreline where bears are often spotted. The lodge serves delicious and sumptuous freshly caught seafood and other local fare, which can be enjoyed out on the waterside deck on warmer evenings.

The lodge offers eight cosy ocean-side suites on land and a further four wonderful suites located on the floating portion of the lodge. Each section of this unique property is connected via a series of wooden boardwalks, allowing one to feel truly immersed in the surrounding landscape. One of the most special features of Farewell Harbour Lodge, however, are the owners and staff, and you will be made to feel like a member of the family in no time. This is a wonderful place to stay, offering easy access to some superb wildlife-watching opportunities.

Summary

The breathtaking landscapes of the Canadian Rockies are no secret. These spectacular mountains, which slice through Canada’s provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, have been attracting admirers ever since the country was first founded back in 1867. The best of this visual splendour is protected within Banff National Park, a world-famous reserve which offers new and dramatic vistas around every bend, from steep glacier-carved valleys and jagged snowy peaks to flower-filled meadows and vivid turquoise lakes. Within this dramatic landscape lives an exciting array of mammals and birds such as Grizzly and Black Bears, Moose, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Harlequin Duck, Mountain Bluebird, Clark’s Nutcracker and many more. To the west of the Rockies, the landscapes and wildlife of central and coastal British Columbia are equally enthralling and on this tour we will traverse the whole province, stopping en route to enjoy the birds of the delightful Okanagan Valley, before ending in the forests and wetlands that surround the attractive city of Vancouver.

We begin our holiday with a flight to Calgary in the Canadian province of Alberta. Here we spend our first three nights whilst we adjust to the time difference and explore the variety of habitats nearby in search of, amongst others, Sandhill Crane, Wilson’s Phalarope, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, the attractive and localised Cape May Warbler and perhaps even a Great Grey Owl. Moving on, we enter the Rockies themselves, with two nights in the spectacular surroundings of Banff National Park. During our time here we will visit the dramatic Bow Valley Parkway and visit such iconic sites as Lake Louise and the Vermillion Lakes. As well as marvelling at the breathtaking scenery, we will be on the lookout for an exciting variety of birds and a selection of the park's 53 species of mammal, including Grizzly and Black Bears, Rocky Mountain Elk, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Moose, Mountain Goat, Canadian Beaver, Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel, Great Northern Diver (Common Loon), Canada Jay, Clark's Nutcracker, Varied Thrush, Boreal Chickadee, Pine Grosbeak and Townsend’s Warbler.

Next, we head west over the ‘Continental Divide’, enter British Columbia and begin our crossing of the province — watching out for Black Bears as we travel — with a single night each in the towns of Salmon Arm and Kamloops, before dropping south through the attractive Okanagan Valley for four nights split between the towns of Kelowna and Oliver. En route we will make a brief stop at a woodland near Revelstoke where a variety of birds more associated with Canada's eastern forests can be found including Red-eyed Vireo, Veery, American Redstart, Magnolia Warbler and Gray Catbird.

The Okanagan Valley is one of the finest birdwatching areas in the whole of western Canada and the region's patchwork of woodlands, lakes, forested hills, orchards and grasslands are home to a wonderful variety of birdlife. During our time here we will visit a cross-section of these habitats, starting in the mountains to the east of the Okanagan Falls where we will search for Golden Eagle, MacGillivray's Warbler, Canyon and Rock Wrens and a suite of woodpeckers including Williamson's and Red-naped Sapsuckers, American Three-toed Woodpecker and, the largest of the family, the impressive Piliated Woodpecker. At nearby Vaseux Lake a herd of California Bighorn Sheep can often be found. We will also explore an area of dry sagebrush — part of Canada's so-called 'Pocket Desert' — home to Lark, Grasshopper and Brewer's Sparrows and the endangered Sage Thrasher. Nearby prairie grasslands hold Western Meadowlarks, Lazuli Bunting, Mountain Bluebird and North America's smallest bird, the diminutive Calliope Hummingbird, whilst nocturnal forays around Penticton may reveal a Western Screech-Owl, Flammulated Owl or Common Poorwill. There should also be time to visit Robert Lake near Kelowna, a reed-fringed shallow lagoon where ducks such as Redhead, Wood Duck and Lesser Scaup and waders including Wilson's Phalarope, American Avocet and Spotted Sandpiper regularly breed.

We end our tour on British Columbia's Pacific coast with two nights near the attractive city of Vancouver.  Here we will have a final opportunity to enjoy the Varied Thrushes, Harlequin Ducks and other species seen previously, along with a suite of new 'Pacific Coast' birds such as Glaucous-winged and California Gulls, Black Oystercatcher, Surf Scoter, Pelagic Cormorant, Sooty Grouse, Anna’s Hummingbird, Chestnut-backed Chickadee and Red-breasted Sapsucker. Finally, as our holiday draws to a close, we will make our way to Vancouver Airport, bid farewell to some of Canada’s most spectacular landscapes and exciting wildlife and begin our journey home.
