Overview

Experience BC's wild side with these Central Coast packages. Venture into the southern portion of the Inside Passage and journey alongside rugged coastal mountains on your way to Bella Coola. Located in the heart of The Great Bear Rainforest, Bella Coola is the ideal place to observe grizzly bears, enjoy a guided eco-rafting tour, catch a glimpse of the rare Kermode (spirit) bear, or hike to one of many alpine lakes to discover spectacular lookouts.

Important Note: Itineraries for travel June 20, 2023 onwards.
