We spent 3 days at this remote lodge with our 2 sons 17 and 19 years old. We were welcome very warmly at the lodge and the food was amazing considering how remote the lodge is! This was a completely unique and unforgettable experience. The...More
Just returned from the spirit bear lodge having had the best time! Having arrived feeling apprehensive, the team soon put me at ease. The facilities, the food and the setting are lovely but the tours are what makes the experience.

Thanks Miki. We really enjoyed having The Summit stay with us....and getting to enjoy a Spirit Bear sighting so early in the season.
We loved this trip! The care taken to ensure we were happy was exceptional. The guides were knowledgable and flexible according to our needs.
We saw bears and whales etc and on the day we didn't see bears we still had a great day with...More

We really appreciate you taking the time to do an in-depth review of your experience. We appreciate you reminding everyone contemplating a trip to the land of the spirit bear that sightings are very much serendipitous events that we can not control. We...More

Hello Jessica,
We spend a fair bit of time on our 13 passenger crew boats travelling to and from our wildlife viewing areas as they are typically about a 90 minute boat ride away from the lodge. While our skippers travel in more protected water when they can, we can be exposed to more open water and rough seas at times. We travel at between 17 and 25 knots, which is much faster than a typical sailboat.
As someone who also experiences motion sickness, I have never been affected by it on our boats, however, some of our guests have occasionally experienced motion sickness. It would be a good idea to bring whatever helps you just in case (wristbands, candied ginger, medication etc.). I hope that helps.
Please don't hesitate to contact our office if you have any further questions.

Thanks Shirley for responding to minnieimber. I'll add that we do typically use our small zodiacs to get to or from the beaches where our larger vessel can not land. As Shirley says, this is typically in protected water... More
Thanks Shirley for responding to minnieimber. I'll add that we do typically use our small zodiacs to get to or from the beaches where our larger vessel can not land. As Shirley says, this is typically in protected water. However we do travel upwards of 90 minutes one way to the bear viewing areas each day in open waters using 30 foot, 10 passenger water taxis where you could experience significant wave activity. Our skippers are very experienced and do try to minimize the discomfort when conditions are rougher but sometimes this is not always possible. Sometimes the conditions are glass like and sometimes they can be 'bumpy' - it all in mother nature's hands! I hope this helps. As Shirley says please contact our reservations office if you require further details.

Hello Palguy,
Spirit Bear Lodge does not offer shared rooms, as it is a small lodge of only 12 rooms, therefore, it is up to guests to book with the people they wish to share a room with.

Hello Palguy,
Spirit Bear Lodge does not offer shared rooms, as it is a small lodge of only 12 rooms, therefore, it is up to guests to book with the people they wish to share a room with.
We are happy to take your name in the event someone else inquires about the same dates and is looking for a room share, but we have found that this rarely happens.
Kind regards,
