Before Natural World Safaris, the brand was split into three, including World Bear Safaris. We have kept all of our specialist knowledge from our World Bear Safari days and continue to design journeys into the natural world to see these magnificent creatures in the wild, including the mighty grizzly bear.
Bright white against the dense green forests on the coast of British Columbia, these ‘spirit’ bears are a sight to behold. Watching these beautiful creatures swiping fish from spawning streams with their strong jaws and claws is an incredible sight, and in fact, spirit bears appear more successful than the blacks at this - perhaps owing to their colour being less obvious to the fish below the water.
Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountain Range on the west coast of British Columbia, the ancient Great Bear Rainforest is one of the largest tracts of temperate rainforest left in the world. At a massive 21 million acres, it stretches over 250 miles up the mainland coast of B.C. and fjords stretch all the way into the ice-capped Coastal Range. A remote land of archipelagos and 1000 year old cedars, its unique position has allowed it to stay relatively isolated from the rest of North America.
In Alaska you can witness the salmon run via boat, viewing platforms or land vehicles, but for the most intimate and jaw-dropping experience, we offer the chance for you to walk among them, on foot. Similarly, you can experience this magnificent display in British Columbia in Canada.
Wildlife Encounters
Canada is home to iconic species such as grizzly bears, polar bears, orcas, humpback whales, and wolves. We focus on delivering responsible, respectful encounters with these animals in the wild, from small boat excursions to on-foot tracking in pristine environments, always prioritising conservation and authenticity over spectacle.
Wealth of Experience
From the Great Bear Rainforest to Arctic Nunavut, we’ve spent years exploring Canada’s remote frontiers. Our long-standing relationships with conservationists, trackers, and Indigenous communities allow us to offer meaningful wildlife encounters and behind-the-scenes access that few others can provide.
Tailor-Made Wilderness
Canada’s vast wilderness is best explored on your terms. Whether you're venturing into the Arctic, tracking grizzlies in British Columbia, or exploring coastal rainforests, our safaris are carefully designed around your interests and comfort. With expert local guides and seamless logistics, we ensure a truly personalised journey into some of the wildest corners of North America.
