Spirit bears are as rare and wondrous as the temperate rainforest that they inhabit on the coast of British Columbia.  We offer the opportunity to watch and photograph these white bears in the traditional territory of the Gitga’at First Nation.

This website will be our new home soon. In the meantime  if you would like to join us for a spirit bear adventure you will find all the information you need on Tim’s website.

“My husband and I have traveled widely throughout all seven continents, and Tim’s Spirit Bear trip was unquestionably one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. The Great Bear Rainforest is a very special place, and being there changes you. The guiding team of Tim and Marven just couldn’t be better. We want to do it again!”

“I write to say a huge THANK YOU for your companionship and teaching on our wonderful trip into the Great Bear Rainforest. On any number of levels I had the time of my life… so suffice to say that I shall never forget the experience. I think you [Tim] were the perfect host and guide. You are truly an intelligent man with a concern for others and the world around you and I appreciated all you did for me and the group.”
