I had actually emailed them last week and the email address I used is the one on the web Site and did get a reply. Try calling the phone number.

There were some teenagers when we were there and they enjoyed it, there is wifi at the lodge. Its not just about bears, it's the whole eco -system, as well as bears we saw salmon, whales, orca, porpoise, eagles, loons, kingfishers, seals etc. Oh and grizzlies, black bear and Spirit bear, we were honoured. Also the First Nation people, their stories and history, indeed the history of Canada, coming from Australia maybe they can relate to that.

Mid-September was perfect as the salmon are running and the bears are getting fat ready for hibernation, so they are out and about. Good time to see the Spirit Bears. We saw more than one. Also saw lots of cubs trying to fish. However, we did have to book 18 months in advance to get a room in September.

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. 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.
