Combine outstanding wildlife and coastal First Nations culture as you explore the remote beauty of the Great Bear Rainforest from the comfort of a live-aboard sailing yacht, in the company of experienced biologists and professional crew.
The Great Bear Rainforest is home to a variety of wildlife such as grizzly bears, wolves, humpback whales and the elusive Spirit Bear. As you cruise the protected waters of the north central coast of British Columbia keep a look out for whales as you pass towering rock faces and cascading waterfalls. Each day you will venture ashore to explore the forests, beaches and river estuaries and here a whole new world of wildlife awaits. Learn about the culture of the Tshimshian and Heiltsuk First Nations People who have called this land their home for thousands of years and gain an understanding as to why this remote and pristine wilderness is so important to them and their future generations.
Each cruise departure offers a flexible itinerary to take full advantage of the wildlife, weather and tides. With just 12-16 guests on board each voyage you are ensured a friendly and informal atmosphere as well as an interactive 'hands on' experience.
