Seaplane flight to the lodge

Flying to the lodge in the Great Bear Rainforest is a spectacular journey. Conservationists consider our area to be a rare jewel in today’s world, one of the few complete and relatively intact ecosystems remaining on the planet. Stretching over 8 millions acres, twice the size of Africa’s Serengeti, this remote, temperate coastal rainforest is home to several threatened species and is one of the last strongholds of the great bear, the grizzly bear, in the world.

This coastal ecosystem revolves around the annual return of five species of Pacific salmon each autumn that provide a rich nutritional bounty, which allows for the immense trees and bears for which this coast is famous. This is an unforgettable way to start your bear watching tour in Canada.

Your flight to the Great Bear Lodge from Port Hardy is included in your grizzly bear tour. For a complete description of a typical tour, go to a sample itinerary. You can also find out information about getting to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island.
