8 days London to London,
from £3,795 per person- Day 1. Vancouver
- Depart for Vancouver where you spend
your first night at the Fairmont Airport Hotel.
Vancouver is a beautiful city with a rich mix of modern
and traditional buildings in a wonderful coastal setting
and with a backdrop of forested mountains. There is
plenty to do in the locality with Stanley Park only a
short distance away. If you are feeling a little more
adventurous you might like to consider extending your
stay by a few nights and perhaps visiting Vancouver
Island to see Grey Whales.
- Days 2 to 5. King Pacific Lodge [B, L,
- After breakfast make your way to
Vancouver Airport for the charter flight to Bella Bella
and then a float plane flight directly to King Pacific
Lodge. Snuggled into the thickly forested shore of
Barnard Harbour just off the coast of British Columbia
on Princess Royal Island and with spectacular views of
the surrounding landscape, this is a truly amazing
wilderness location in the heart of the Great Bear
Rainforest. In the summer months the wildlife is
prolific here with June to August being exceptional
months for sighting Humpback Whales, Orcas, Dall's
Porpoise and Pacific White-sided Dolphins. On half day
and full day whale watching excursions you will have a
unique opportunity to learn about the marine creatures
which inhabit and migrate through the region. Orcas
which may be seen all season are in their peak numbers
during June and July. Humpback Whales which may also be
seen all season are more prominent during August and
September. The lodge has forged a close relationship
with two whale researchers based on a nearby island who
operate Cetacea Lab - the only year round whale research
lab in northern British Columbia. You will have an
opportunity to visit the lab, meet the researchers and
learn about the whale's social and feeding habits, as
well as their migratory journeys and listen to their
calls as they feed and play in these inter-coastal
waters. You may also see large numbers of playful
Stellar's Sealions.
- Day 6. Vancouver [B, L]
- Today you return to Vancouver for
your final night at the Fairmont Airport Hotel.
- Days 7 & 8. Homeward [B (Day 7 only)]
