Day #3 Continued: Cruise Knight Inlet home to Knight Inlet Lodge to meet your late afternoon plane back to Campbell River. Sometimes we change the order of the viewing days to accommodate better Grizzly Bear or Whale viewing. Finally, weather can effect the quality of viewing.

Day # 4 [For Longer 4 Day Trips] Rise early.
After breakfast we take you to our wild river, the Kakweiken, by safari boat. View Black Bear, Seals, and perhaps a school of playing White-Sided Dolphins on the way. Meet one of our river guides, Trapper Rick or his assistant Art, and drive/ride an ATV to the spawning area of the river. View grizzly and Black Bears and Bald Eagles while watching the schools of salmon preparing for spawning. If you wish, fish off the bank for the salmon or trout.

Enjoy your picnic lunch at the trapper's cabin overlooking the waterfalls - a good time to spot a Grizzly Bear feeding on the jumping salmon. Ride your ATV back to the boat and enjoy your trip home to the lodge.

Day # 5 [For 5 Day Trips]
Repeat Grizzly Trip to the Glendale River viewing area or repeat Orca/ Humpback/ Sea Lion/ Dolphin trip to Johnston Straits.

Knight Inlet Lodge News: News 2008 - Last summer we had a good salmon return to our rivers so the bears were well fed and very active. There was lots of interaction and lots of great viewing. The Orca were exceptionally playfull. One female actually "spy-hopped" right next to one of our boats and had a "conversation" {chirped} with a couple of astounded guests. The Humpback were around most of the season with the calves doing lots of exciting leaps.
