Canada

This enormous country is 4,500 miles from coast to coast and is the world’s second largest country after Russia! Canada also offers scenery on a vast scale, a diverse culture and a wide choice of experiences for visitors to enjoy.

Canada possess abundant wildlife which is located in some of the most beautiful locations to be found anywhere in the world. In the far north you will find Polar Bears, Caribou and Wolves. In the Rocky Mountains black bears, grizzly bears, moose, deer, elk, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep. On the West coast of Canada view grizzly bears and black or brown bears fishing for salmon. Bird watchers will not be disappointed either with both residents and migrants.

Canada's climate is incredibly varied; generally however the regions near the coast have milder winters and cooler summers than the interior. November to March has sub-zero temperatures almost everywhere but all large Canadian towns are geared to cope with the cold conditions.

Grizzly Bears

British Columbia is one of the world’s best Grizzly Bear regions, this is a wild and remote area set among the dramatic snow-capped peaks of the rugged coastline. Our bear viewing tours are based at Knight Inlet Lodge in Glendale Cove which is home to one of the largest concentrations of Grizzly or Brown Bears in British Columbia. It is not unusual for up to 50 bears to be within 10 kms of the lodge in the peak season when the salmon are returning to the river!

These are the largest land predators in the world with such an acute sense of smell they can locate seals under the ice!
