When dealing with true wildlife, there can be no guarantees that they will turn up when you want them too. As the editor of an International Deer Hunting magazine I was well aware that we were booking this trip well before the annual salmon run but had to fit in with other obligations in BC. My wife Robyn and I... More

4 of us have just returned from a wonderful 3 day four night experience at the lodge. Can;t speak highly enough of the facilities and the wonderful food - all excellent. I would only like to point out that although it doesn't read otherwise ,you are actually at the lodge for only ONE WHOLE DAY - arriving at 4.30 ish... More

having been planning this trip for a few years i was ready for a let down----far from it. my mindset from the beginning was that this trip was not to a zoo or organised safari trip,if no bears, whales dolphins turned up,so be it,i would just have to come back another year,i feel for the previous reviewer,but i was under...

DO NOT GO BEFORE AUGUST 25TH UNLESS YOU ARE HAPPY JUST SEEING BEARS ON THE BEACHES EATING GRASS. I hate writing this review because I loved the people at the lodge. But the website is very misleading and I feel my responsibility is to avoid having other people waste thousands of dollars. The website says: “Grizzly Bear Lodge Tours and... More

Seeing grizzlies in the wild was one thing I absolutely had to do before leaving Canada, and choosing Sailcone Lodge out of all of the options online was the best thing I could have done! The first thing is that the service is very personalised as they only take small groups. There were only three of us on the tour... More

I booked the 4 nights/5 days package at Grizzly Bear/Sailcone Lodge as a present for my wife for our wedding anniversary. The stay surpassed all our expectations... We arrived to the lodge via a seaplane, and once landed we realised how remote this place is - one cannot hear but the sound of nature - yet the owners/team made sure... More

We had a great time. Caught very good salmon, saw whales and bears. Food tremendous. The guides were great. The day with Trapper Rick was truly memorable.

Our stay at Grizzly Bear Lodge exceeded all of our expectations and the visit proved to be the absolute trip of a lifetime. The bear viewing opportunities were truly amazing, and there was so much additional quality wildlife to see. The remote picturesque setting of Grizzly Bear Lodge on Minstrel Island in Knight Inlet fjord was also stunning. Grizzly Bear... More

If you seek the ultimate experience in Bear & Whale watching (& love bald eagles) ... this is the place to be. My first visit was three years ago & have been every year since! Until you are travelling to the island on the float plane it's hard to imagine how remote it is, or how beautiful. Met by the... More

We saw all the wildlife we'd hoped too - black bears, grizzlies, eagles, dolphins, whales and orcas. The lodge is in a beautiful location and the staff were fantastic. All the guides were knowledgable, passionate and great fun to be around. The staff made sure we had everything we needed, we only wish we had stayed longer than 3 days!... More
