Where Paths End

At Wild Bear Lodge, we offer bear viewing and wilderness holidays for the curious, intrepid and wild-at-heart. Led by one of Canada’s top bear guides, our adventures bring you closer to nature, with gentler options always available.

Into Their World

We’re a small, intimate wilderness lodge that offers curated four and eight-night holidays in May–June and October. We take our guests on walks in remote valleys and ancient old-growth forests to watch grizzly and black bears as well as other Canadian megafauna.

Gather at the Lodge

The lodge is deep in the British Columbia interior where few tourists ever go, at the heart of the world’s largest inland temperate rainforest. Yet we’re easily accessible—only a day’s stunning drive from Calgary, Vancouver or Spokane in the U.S.

Retreat to the Forest

Each guest or couple has their own riverside log cabin with a wood-burning stove. Our cabins have high-speed internet, hot showers and other comfortable amenities. The mattresses come with memory foam, but the views are pure wilderness.

A Mission for Life

We dedicate a portion of every booking to fund imaginative, not for profit projects. Our proudest achievement was helping end grizzly bear hunting in British Columbia. We have also run programs for wounded military veterans looking to gain new outdoor skills.

“If you want to escape this is the place to come. Julius is one of North America’s top bear guides. The property covers 32 acres with the main house and six guest cabins. It’s absolutely beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in wilderness that is quite as comfortable as this. A quintessential off-the-grid luxurious cabin, surrounded by bears.”
— Ben Fogle, Channel 5, UK
“An experience that feels unique and personal. We felt like welcome guests at a friend’s estate. This is something that is extremely difficult to deliver but Wild Bear Lodge does it very well.”
—Paul & Liz, Ireland
“If you are inclined towards experiencing pristine wilderness, you will be hard-pressed to beat a few days at Wild Bear Lodge in British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains. Or if, like me, you are an urban beast whose love affair with the wild is limited to watching David Attenborough, then you should try it, for it is quite an eye-opener.”
—Mark Franchetti, Sunday Times, UK
“Here I was, 63 years old, lying still as a statue on the bank of a beautiful Canadian river, only five meters away was this amazing creature—a wild grizzly bear. Every day was magical, from tracking wildlife through the dense forest to rafting down clear waters among the red salmon.”
—Jennifer D., Australia
