bear watching in canada

Bear watching

A Canada holiday wouldn’t be complete without spotting Canada’s favourite residents. Black bears are commonly sighted in the mountains, while remote wilderness resorts offer excellent grizzly viewing, especially around BC’s salmon run in September. You can spot bears between April and November (except polar bears, which are best in October and November).

Manitoba’s Hudson Bay is the best place for belugas, while BC’s Victoria reigns supreme for orcas.
