Your group size will be limited to just eight passengers. About 50 grizzlies live in the surrounding area. During May, the bears come to the shores of the fjord and the estuary to feed on high protein plants. Here you can observe them at close range, often from the safety of a boat. On shore you will see bear signs such as rubbing trees and bear trails worn from years of use.
Most people think of grizzly bears as aggressive and dangerous.
In the Khutzeymateen you will learn for yourself how this is a myth. Here the bears are not hunted, chased, or fed human food. By observing them in their own environment and learning from your guide, you will have a new understanding of their behavior. The area is also home to wolves, geese, ducks, harbor seals, beavers, river otters and occasionally killer and humpback whales. Over 100 species of birds can be found here including owls, grouse, shorebirds, harlequin ducks, and kingfishers.
