5.00Excellent staff, Steve and Kate providing a welcoming relaxed atmosphere , no rush when bears found and a determination to find some when we were initially they were in hiding, though once we’d spotted one more soon followed. A great evening knowledgable friendly staff .

5.00Superb experience with a visit to the Olympic site. Mike was an excellent guide. And then after an hour, a magical encounter with 2 young black bear adults followed by a mother with her 2 cubs. Thank you, Mike, for this beautiful moment.

5.00Whistler Photo Safari is a family-run local BC business and a must-do when visiting Whistler! I had several questions before booking, and Sherry was responsive, friendly, and made the booking process a breeze. The jeeps have removable roofs, allowing you to stand up and capture fantastic photos while enjoying amazing views of the bears. Jason was our guide, and he was both knowledgeable and passionate about bears and wildlife. We had a small group of just three people in our jeep, which made for a fun and personal experience, with plenty of shared laughs along the way. We saw a male bear grazing, and it was clear that the guides are very respectful of the environment, ensuring the bears have plenty of space and are never disturbed. We were also lucky enough to see a mama bear and her cub! The whole tour was an incredible experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Whistler.
A great experience
