The trip "Whales & Bears Of British Columbia" starts and ends in Vancouver. It is a marine wildlife tour that takes 9 days taking you through Ucluelet, Elk Falls and Campbell River in Canada. "Whales & Bears Of British Columbia" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

‘Beautiful British Columbia’ proclaim the number plates, for once without hyperbole. Sensational wildlife regularly presents itself amid a backdrop of rugged scenery. Here, whale and bear watching is the big draw but seals, elk and beavers ensure a truly authentic British Columbian wildlife encounter.  Our adventures take us to Vancouver Island, where we explore beaches and walk trails at Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and we hope to see humpbacks, orcas, black bears and more.
