PRIME SPOT FOR BEAR WATCHING
British Columbia is one of the prime spots in the world for seeing wild bears, and at Knight Inlet, you’ll be able to observe them up close as they feed along the Glendale River. Professional guides lead guests on daily excursions in the Great Bear Rainforest to enjoy unobstructed but discreet views of bears as they swim, forage and play with their cubs. Whether you’re watching from a boat or one of the specially constructed viewing platforms, the experience is nothing short of spectacular.
As well as bear viewing, Knight Inlet’s menu of activities include seasonal whale watching tours, kayaking, hiking and scenic boat rides on Glendale Cove. When you’re not experiencing the great outdoors, you can relax in one of the cosy lounges and drink in the picturesque scenery through large picture windows. Guestrooms are rustic yet comfortably furnished with cedar panelling, queen beds and private bathrooms.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
