H’aiagal’ath Grizzly Bear Tours - Indigenous Tourism BC

Experience Indigenous culture and wildlife in the Great Bear Rainforest

Vancouver Island

H’aiagal’ath Grizzly Bear Tours is an Indigenous-owned and operated business providing day or weekend-long ecologically sustainable and cultural wilderness experiences in the Great Bear Rainforest. Guests can immerse themselves in the W’ui’kinuxv richness of the Territory, culture, and history. The region's forests, rivers, and estuary habitats support diverse wildlife such as grizzly bears, pacific salmon, coastal wolves, and black bears. The tours aim to offer a memorable wilderness viewing adventure in beautiful Rivers Inlet. The W’ui’kinuxv people, also known as O-wik-en-o, see stewardship as a shared responsibility with the grizzly bears, who are considered the land's keepers. With over 14,000 years of heritage, the W’ui’kinuxv have been caring for the lands and waters using ancestral knowledge passed down through generations. Visitors can be guests and partake in cultural experiences, witness breathtaking landscapes, and observe extraordinary wildlife.
