Grizzly Bears from the Khutzeymateen.
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...For the last 3 years Stacey and I have gone to Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary with Captain Doug Davies on the The Georgia Master. We have seen and photographed countless Grizzly bears. This year Stacey and I will be going up again.
A bit of info about the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, The Khutzeymateen/K’tzim-a-Deen Grizzly Sanctuary was established as the first area in Canada to be protected specifically for grizzly bears and their habitat. It also represents the first undisturbed estuary of its size to be protected along the north coast of BC. The topography of this land and marine sanctuary is diverse, with rugged peaks towering to 2100 metres above a valley of wetlands, old growth temperate rainforests and a large estuary. An abundance of wildlife shares the area.
The ultimate purpose of this area is to protect the north coast grizzly bear by preserving a part of the ecosystem in which they live. Because of this area’s high sensitivity and strict conservation orientation, visitor use is not encouraged. However, a limited amount of controlled viewing is allowed under permit. The hunting of grizzly bear is prohibited and hunting of other wildlife is restricted to areas above 1000 meters elevation.
Prince Rupert Adventure Tours is owned and operated by Doug Davis, Doug and his crew have lots of knowledge about the Grizzly Bears, and local first nation history you will see on the way to the Khutzeymateen, Don’t be surprised if you see Killer whales or humpback whales on the trip up or down. this tour is about 6 hours and a lunch is provided. Camera is a must, Doug and his crew depending on the tide can get fairly close to the shore.
