Few seaplanes seat eight guest comfortably so we normally have two planes bring guests into Grizzly Bear Lodge from Campbell River. This also provides us with room for the “always” necessary groceries. As you can see there are groceries from the first plane stacked near the end of the dock and luggage waiting with guests to be placed on the second plane that is nearing the dock. For many of the guests this is their first experience flying in a float plane and the reviews are mixed but I would say they are overwhelmingly positive.
Grizzly Bear Lodge in the morning

A quiet morning departure from Grizzly Bear Lodge located on Minstrel Island (Knight Inlet) at the edge of BC’s Great Bear Rainforest. Depending on the season tours leave either by 7:30 or 8:00 and return between 3:00 and 5:00 depending on the days success. Guests often want a picture of the lodge and dock as we leave or return in the afternoon. Accommodating eight to ten guests allows for the personal touch from the gourmet meals to sharing the boat with a maximum of five people including the guide. The limit placed on the number of guests in camp is often one of the main reasons guest first select Grizzly Bear Lodge but by the time they leave it is the family atmosphere and the years of experience of all the staff that makes the visit memorable.
