GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST - BRITISH COLUMBIA


Journey into one of Earth’s greatest wild places. Robert Kennedy Jr. calls it “the last stand of the great North American rainforest”.

It is a land of fjords, mountains, rainforests, and great river estuaries. It is home to grizzlies, wolves and the mysterious white Spirit Bear. This special trip with Canadian Geographic is timed for peak experiences of natural beauty and wildlife. 

This trip is during the salmon run, when bears and other wildlife are on the coast.

You’ll learn photography techniques via lectures and extensive one-on-one tutoring in the field from Canadian Geographic Photographer-in-Residence, Daisy Gilardini. For more than a decade Daisy has roamed bear country, from her home province's Great Bear Rainforest all the way to Alaska and the high Arctic. During this tenure she has documented the challenges facing North America’s bears, including black bears, grizzlies, polar bears and of course, our emblematic Spirit Bear.

On this special itinerary with Canadian Geographic you will explore the same areas as our regular autumn itinerary, but with special extra experiences, benefits from the Geographical Society, and a VIP resource person, Daisy Gilardini.
