Three Hour Fly / Cruise Excursion
There is nothing quite like a gentle day in the out-of-doors,
observing wild creatures as they roam freely in their natural habitat. Join
us for a trip to secluded North Coast inlets to observe grizzly and black
bears in their natural environment from the guided safety and comfort of
an unobtrusive boat cruising close to the shoreline. Our flight paths are
carefully planned to ensure that we do not disturb the bears.
Both grizzly and black bears range in the area we visit.
They come to the freshwater streams, where they empty into salty inlets,
to graze on sedges. Here, you may quietly watch as they sate their appetites
and play with their young on the rocky shores. If you are lucky, you may
catch a glimpse of a mother teaching her cubs how to find mussels and other
sea treats along the beach, and you are sure to smile at raven's antics as
he waits impatiently for his turn.
Depending on season, you may also see mature and immature bald eagles
soaring high above, or witness Killer whales feeding in the deep waters
as we explore.
This excursion combines both boat and air travel.
You will depart from the bustling Seal Cove Seaplane Base, travelling either
by fixed wing aircraft or helicopter. The scenic ride to bear country is
sure to thrill, as you fly over rugged and remote valleys and cirque lakes
in the high sub-alpine meadows, pass over steep-walled fjords where rock faces
rise sharply from the deep sea floor. The 30 minute flight takes you to the
floating dock, anchored near the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary. Here,
you will deplane to board a 10-passenger, covered boat for two hours of exciting
exploration in the spectacular wilderness setting in the protected waters
of the Khutzeymateen Inlet. Your return flight to Prince Rupert will trace
a different route, no less interesting or magnificent.
This wonderful, gentle excursion is suitable for adventurers of all
ages.
Duration: Three hours comprised of one hour of air
time and two hours by boat.
