Grizzly bears on view with northern BC operators

In BC’s protected Khutzeymateen Valley, northeast of Prince Rupert, two eco-friendly outdoor adventure operators provide the best vantage points to watch grizzlies — from a respectable distance. May through July, Prince Rupert Adventure Tours operates daily six-hour excursions into the “Valley of the Grizzly”in Chatham Sound. Alternatively, Bluewater Adventures offers the seven-day Discover the North Coast/Khutzeymateen journey. It promises a spectacular exploration of northern glacial fjords and estuary ecosystems. Onboard naturalists and a local bear guide provide keen insight along the way. (http://www.adventuretours.net ; http://www.bluewateradventures.ca)
