We had an awesome day with Ishbel and Jean-Luc (sp - sorry guys)! An early start to get out to Knights Inlet, and arrive at Glendale cove. Despite initial quiet on the waterside, we were treated to the matriarch, Lenore, who graced us with …

I had a really wonderful special day taking this tour, but also had to alter my expectations once I realized better what to expect. The drive to Knight Inlet was just wonderful and the early morning lighting was fantastic. It does take two hours to get there but for me it was visually interesting enough. At that point, though, I did start to wonder where we were really headed. We got to the grizzlies about 40 minutes late, but really that worked out fine. The grizzlies were washing their paws and getting into the river to look for fish to eat. The rest of the tour basically consisted of us marveling at the other tour and it was cool to see them. The guides were interesting and it was really fun watching the matriarch hold her own with her cubs. We had a late lunch provided and it was good, but by then I was itching to go swimming with the belugas and orcas so that was a bummer. I would highly recommend this tour and I hope other people get to see all the wildlife and natural beauty of our coast!
