  • Upstairs: two rooms with 2 twin beds and private bathroom.
  • Downstairs: one room with double bed and twin with shared bathroom.
  • By The Beach: our small cabin with double bed and ensuite.

Peace and Serenity

We’ve always thought that there wasn’t a lot of sense in leaving the city and its freeways just to join a large crowd. Most lodges accommodate 25-40 guests, and sometimes even more. This seemed to us far from ideal and certainly not the best way to enjoy the majestic wilderness of Knight Inlet. We keep the maximum number of guests to 10 at our lodge.

We built our lodge to provide a comfortable, intimate and relaxing atmosphere – a lodge that is yours. We also have added a small beach cabin with ensuite and a remarkable view. Our guests become, not only our wildlife companions but our friends as well.

Grizzly Bear Lodge And Safari Amenities

We offer you a small comfortable lodge or cottage with friendly people to look after you. Our lodge is located in a prime location in Knight Inlet allowing us easy access to world class Grizzly Bear watching up Knight Inlet and excellent whale watching near the mouth of the inlet and into Johnstone Strait. Our group sizes are small, creating a personal experience that larger lodges can not offer. After a full day viewing wildlife our guests all sit down together for dinner and share stories from the day. Choose your trip from late May through mid October

Boats

We use a 25′ cabin cruiser for our inlet trips.  It has a covered cabin with a heater and ample outside deck space for viewing.  On our whale watching trips we use 17′ speedboats.  Our whale watching area is away from the ocean swells and the open boats allow for great 360 degree views.  They do have a retractable cover to get out of the weather if need be.  All of pour boats have back-up motors, VHF radios and all the required safety equipment.   We supply you with sufficient equipment with any package that you choose. Boots, Suits, Rain Gear, Cooler Boxes are available at our lodge when needed.  We provide floatation suits to all of our guests.  These suits provide a great deal of warmth and also act as a lifejacket.  Our guides average over 10 years of experience in the area and with a maximum of 4 guests per boat there is ample opportunity to have all of your questions answered.  All of our boats and crew are Transport Canada certified.

There’s just one thing, Don’t forget your camera! A camera with a zoom lens and LOTS of film or digital storage space will insure that you capture tons of memories! 

An adventure in BC’s Knight Inlet, on the Rain Forest Coast, that you will always remember.

    Bald Eagles

    Bald Eagles are frequently sighted in our area. At times they can be seen in large numbers. This is usually where food supplies are high. For example this could be in areas with high concentrations of baitfish or along the rivers in the fall when the salmon are spawning. They are not migratory, but do move around with the food supply. As mentioned earlier when the salmon are spawning we often see many along the rivers, while there will be fewer along the coastline. With little need for camouflage their white head and tail feathers can be spotted easily. The female is slightly larger and her white head extends down a bit farther onto the body, but it is subtle. It takes these birds 4.5 – 5 years to acquire this unique plumage. As juveniles they are a brown colour. With exceptional eyesight and the ability to view 270 degrees they are understandably often seen in high perches and in trees near points and passageways.
