Our bear search excursion was really, really good! Our guide was super knowledgeable, as well as entertaining. The scenery is STUNNING! And it was a bonus that we saw a mama and 3 cubs at the very end of our experience. I felt safe the whole time but I also knew that I was definitely in grizzly bear country!!

Met at meeting point and as a small group trip good to see only 6 of us in mini bus. Guide knowledgeable and tried to keep interest. Travelled for miles to stop at 2 small creeks and 2 rivers the first already had numerous people on Bridge we stayed a while but no activity. Second bridge only people there but again nothing to see. I appreciate sightings are not guaranteed but comments such as vegetation is lush and difficult to see through and it's a warm afternoon which bears tend to rest didn't exactly help. Perhaps we should have been given an option before we left ? A very expensive trip and we all thought not good value for money. Overall very dissapointing

Kora and her stories were amazing. The nature views were beyond beautiful. You should add “nature experience” to the excursion title
