A Unique Bear Viewing Lodge in British Columbia’s Inland Rainforest

Wild Bear Lodge is a small, intimate bear viewing lodge in western Canada. We host 4- and 8-night bear viewing holidays where guests watch grizzly and black bears in their natural habitat with experienced guides.

Grizzly bear

A Totally Natural Experience

We run our bear viewing holidays in
June and October, when grizzly and black
bears are most active in this part of British Columbia. We lead very small groups of guests into remote valleys and ancient forests to watch bears and other wildlife safely and unobtrusively.

The lodge at night

A Riverside Lodge

The lodge sits deep in BC’s interior in the world’s largest inland temperate rainforest, yet it is reachable in a day’s drive from Calgary, Vancouver or Spokane in the US. Guests return from bear watching to share meals and stories in our cosy main lodge.

Private Luxury Cabins

Each couple or guest has a private log cabin by the river, with hot showers, comfortable beds and high-speed internet. The cabins combine modern comfort with uninterrupted views of the surrounding forest and wildlife.

Saving Bears, Helping People

We dedicate a portion of every booking to fund imaginative, not for profit projects. Our proudest achievement was helping end grizzly bear hunting in British Columbia. We have also run programs for wounded military veterans looking to gain new outdoor skills.

“If you want to escape this is the place to come. Julius is one of North America’s top bear guides. The property covers 32 acres with the main house and six guest cabins. It’s absolutely beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in wilderness that is quite as comfortable as this. A quintessential off-the-grid luxurious cabin, surrounded by bears.”
— Ben Fogle, Channel 5, UK
“An experience that feels unique and personal. We felt like welcome guests at a friend’s estate. This is something that is extremely difficult to deliver but Wild Bear Lodge does it very well.”
—Paul & Liz, Ireland
“If you are inclined towards experiencing pristine wilderness, you will be hard-pressed to beat a few days at Wild Bear Lodge in British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains. Or if, like me, you are an urban beast whose love affair with the wild is limited to watching David Attenborough, then you should try it, for it is quite an eye-opener.”
—Mark Franchetti, Sunday Times, UK
“Here I was, 63 years old, lying still as a statue on the bank of a beautiful Canadian river, only five meters away was this amazing creature—a wild grizzly bear. Every day was magical, from tracking wildlife through the dense forest to rafting down clear waters among the red salmon.”
—Jennifer D., Australia
