We would like to stress to you that black bears are untamed animals who reside in the forest. We are venturing into the wild, so patience is required. We are going to make attempts to spot some of them, however, we would like to remind you that these bears are wild and we are not in a controlled environment like a zoo; we cannot guarantee sightings as they are free to roam in their habitat. But besides bears, several other animals such as wolves, loons, beavers and more might also be spotted. So, stay vigilant, you never know what might come into view!

3 Little Bears plus Mama - Seen a mama and three baby bears was really something to see, the overall beauty of the area, and the beginning of the colors changing was really an experience. Guide was very knowledgeable, and very friendly.

Great tour. - We saw several bears as well as coyotes. The subsequent 1km hike along the river and waterfall was very impressive. The tour was well organized and the guide was extremely committed. I would definitely recommend it.

Great trip - Our guide told us a lot about nature. We were lucky that we were alone in the bus and therefore had a private tour. Watching the bears was sensational, everything was just perfect. Highly recommended.

An incredible experience! - We had Vicié as a guide and she is passionate about her job. She passed on to us her passion for bears and nature. The bear watching at snack time was incredible. We also saw a coyote.

Understand no bears at feeding, but your should offer more - No bears. We understand “that is nature” and there was the chance of not seeing bears at their 2:00 feeding, but the tour should really leave earlier and offer a little hike or more sightseeing to offer something other than a chance to see them at their feeding. The tour guide was a good guy, but the tour needs to offer more.

The water falls and... - The water falls and changing of the trees leaves. A little confusing which bus to get on in the midst of massive people. We had to hurrying back to get the people back to catch their ship

Finished for the season! - We booked and paid in advance and arrived at the rendezvous to find it closed and deserted. A nearby unrelated information desk told us that it had closed for the season. We were refunded almost immediately but why take a booking in the first place? We were left at a loose end in a remote area for the rest of the day.
