Dramatic landscape surrounds as you explore the coast's longest fjord, deep into the coastal mountain range towards the stunning Kitlope River Valley. In the Kitlope you'll be surrounded by steep, snow-capped peaks, rainforest, waterfalls and a great river that supports grizzly bears and moose as well as oolichan.
In spring, we hope to find grizzly bears among green sedges in the estuary meadows, and colourful wildflowers like purple lupins, red paintbrush and brown northern rice root. In late summer/early fall we'll explore channels for whales and even get to some outer coastal locations, where we may see evidence of the elusive coastal wolf. There may be an early bear or two but summer is not a peak bear time in this area.
Take shore excursions with knowledgeable crew to explore the Kitlope River Estuary. Relax on secluded beaches, trek through ancient rainforests, and learn about the historical significance of the Kitlope.
We first explored here in 1992 at the invitation of our longtime friend Wa'xaid (Cecil Paul). The stories he told and his philosophy that helped save the Kitlope forever, and the incredible bear mother pole for his people, are captured in a book written with our naturalist Briony Penn. Thanks to this, his stories still travel with our guests as we explore together in the way he taught us to see this place.
Our August trip is a Supervoyage, as it is a few days longer with more time to explore the expansive area.
