This is a small group adventure holiday to see the wildlife of British Columbia in Western Canada. The highlights are bears and whales but all kinds of wildlife can be seen here. The whale watching will be accompanied by a specialist guide to educate you about the animals behaviour and you will travel in small 'zodiacs' so that the wildlife is not disturbed.  In the National Parks, you will stick to marked trails to minimise impact on the natural environment.

Flying into Vancouver, you will spend just over a week around Vancouver Island which has plentiful national parks and excellent marine wildlife.  Wildlife viewing is by boat and kayak on the water and on foot any in vehicles on the ground.
