Our Local Experts say:

British Columbia is home to black bears, the rare Kermode bear also known as the Spirit bear, and grizzly bears. Experienced guides and tour operators know where the best places are when trying to view a bear!

Spotting and viewing bears is possible in their natural habitat, and sometimes you come across bears near highways on your travels outside the city, but the experience with taking a guided bear watching adventure trip is just amazing and well worth planning ahead for.
