Publisher's Synopsis
The Great Bear Rainforest in truly unique location on the West Coast in Canada and it holds secret treasures not many people are aware of. One of them is The Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, considered to be one of the best North American grizzly bear viewing experiences. The protected park is located around 150 km away from Prince Rupert and only two licensed operators with their yachts are allowed to provide guided tour in this area. Visitors can spend couple of days on inflatable zodiac boat sailing thru the Sanctuary and viewing grizzly bears and black bears in their true habitat. The Khutzeymateen is home to around 50 to 60 grizzlies who call this wilderness their home. Approximately only between 350 to 400 visitors per year will get on the board of two yachts and have the opportunity of the lifetime to watch these animals. This protected park has been established in year 1994 and grizzly bears are not hunted there by human and they grow up and live there knowing that humans are not treats to them. It is understood that the regular presence of bear viewing experienced operators can result in some bears becoming tolerant to bear viewing. The habituation of bears viewing results is predictable and safe experience for both the visitors and the bears. Here is a small sample what people have to say about visiting this area: "Beyond my wildest expectations, the outstanding photo opportunities." "The trip to Khutzeymateen was unforgettable." This book will provide you with detailed information of what you can expect when visiting this part of Canada. Stunning photography is part of this book and you will find the most valuable information when visiting The Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, Prince Rupert and Salmon Glacier in British Columbia and Hyder in Alaska. Feel free to check out my other two books, from another incredible locations in Canada, called: Canada Travel Adventure, Part 2 - Spirit Bear and Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada.
