What kind of wildlife will we see?

Of course the problem with wild animals is that they are hard to schedule, but mattering on the tour we often see wild animals right from the vehicle. Bears are common here in British Columbia and we often encounter them on our trips in the Rocky Mountains and in Whistler. Our Whale watching partners guarantee a 95% success rate. (Better than most fishermen can claim. The main problem of course is time, and all those trees getting in the way. There are lots of creatures out there but may be a little shy at times. We do our best to show you some of the wildlife Canada is famous for.
