A Typical Day at Spirit Bear Lodge
Each day in the Great Bear Rainforest is different from the next but here is a little bit of an idea of what you might expect the your experience to look like.
| Everyday at Spirit Bear Lodge is unique, we visit many diverse and awe-inspiring locations in search of wildlife. Tours vary depending on recent wildlife sightings, guest interests, and weather. Some days could be spent waiting patiently in one river system for wildlife to appear, while others could involve visiting several locations. For the more adventurous, we offer hiking, kayaking, and canoeing options in some of nature’s most stunning places. Kitasoo Xai’xais culture is integrated into each day through spending time with local guides, visiting cultural sites, and learning the history of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais people. |

Our staff share their intimate knowledge of traditional foods, medicinal plants, and stories passed down through generations.
Our goal is to deliver a transformative experience through complete immersion in nature by sharing our appreciation for the The Great Bear Rainforest .
