Quest for the Spirit Bear
Princess Royal Island
8 Nights / 7 Days from Prince Rupert or Bella Bella
The Great Bear Rainforest, located on

very few human visitors, making it an exciting outdoor adventure
destination. Within the Great Bear Rainforest lie some of the
world’s last pristine coastal rainforest and the rare
and elusive white Kermode bears.

 The white Spirit bear is a sub-species of black bear, little
known other than to the Tsimshian-speaking people of British
Columbia who have shared its territory for thousands of years.
The Kermode Bears of the Great Bear Rainforest have had very
little exposure to humans and can be difficult to locate. Over
the past ten years we have learned much about their behaviour and
range and work closely with local Native groups and noted bear
biologist, Wayne McCrory to search for, watch and photograph these
elusive and exquisite animals.
