LUXURY BEAR VIEWING BY ROAM

In BC’s mountainous interior, southwest of Williams Lake, ROAM Adventures promises bear viewing at its best, at a new luxury bear camp. Set at the north end of Chilko Lake and the headwater of Chilko River, six deluxe safari-tents, including a dining/lounge tent, are situated on wildlife-viewing platforms, each providing a bird’s eye view of the action. And there’s plenty of that, given the seasonal sockeye salmon run, August through October. Guests can watch the bears catch and feast while kayaking or rafting, or simply take in the view from their tent platforms.

The week-long Bears and Whales adventure also includes guided sea kayaking excursions in Johnstone Strait to see the area’s resident Orcas. Overnights will be at the luxurious Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort, on the shores of the Great Bear Rainforest. (http://www.iroamtheworld.com)
