The floating wilderness lodge of Knight Inlet is one of British Columbia's most spectacular bear viewing sites. Tucked into the unspoiled Glendale Cove and offering specialist bear viewing packages, Knight Inlet has quickly become one of our favourites!
Hiding up in the one of the most remote areas of British Columbia, Knight Inlet Lodge floats on the spectacular Glendale Cove, home to one of the largest concentrations of grizzly brown bears in the country. During the peak season, when the salmon return to the river, it is not uncommon for up to 50 bears to be within a close radius of the property, making your wilderness experience all the more exciting. Observe these magical creatures as they go about their daily lives after emerging from hibernation. Visit the estuary to watch them feeding or simply admire them wandering the timber clearing and logging roads.
Each of the 18 guest-rooms at the lodge feature comfortable Queen beds and private bathrooms, ensuring your stay is convenient. They all have views of either Glendale Cove or the shoreline behind the lodge (often frequented by bears!).
After a day of exploring, guests can visit the dining room, with West Coast cuisine and daily specials often feature fresh seafood caught from the surrounding waters that very day.
In addition to grizzly bear viewing or watching tours, Knight Inlet Lodge offers additional experiences to give guests up close and personal encounters with this incredible and untamed wilderness region, including an Inlet Cruise, Rainforest Walks and Sea Kayaking.
Knight Inlet Lodge is open from May to October each year and offers a variety of packages. For bear watching the prime months are late August to October, but they may be seen at other times too. Spring and autumn are often quite mild and pleasant but the rainfall can be heavy, while summers are relatively dry and sunny with warm temperatures.
