Grizzly Bear Tours - once in a lifetime wilderness nature adventures to the Khutzeymateen valley of the grizzly bear near Prince Rupert, British Columbia and approximately 10 miles from the Alaskan border.

Palmerville Adventures is the only floating lodge that does grizzly bear tours in the Khutzeymateen.

Our three hour tour or 3 day overnight tour include a spectacular float plane ride to the pristine Khutzeymateen Valley, home of Canada's only grizzly bear sanctuary. This trip is a professional or amateur photographers dream come true with some of the best grizzly bear viewing in the world. Your photography and sightseeing adventure also includes the possibility of viewing black bears, whales, seals, mountain goats, wolves, deer, sea otters, bald eagles and schools of Pacific wild salmon as we travel through the glorious coastal rainforest.

Thinking about having your honeymoon or wedding in the wilderness? We've had couples get married in the bush, come here for their honeymoons and even propose to their partners while at Palmerville Adventures.

During our busy May to September 2008 season 97% of our tours saw grizzly bears. Be sure to book early to ensure your place on a grizzly bear tour.
