Embark on an unforgettable black bear and wildlife Land Rover adventure in Whistler. Travel on and off road through the rugged Coastal Mountain Range with a professional guide, exploring pristine wilderness where black bears roam freely.
Bears are emerging from hibernation in spring, actively feeding on fresh growth at different elevations until they hibernate again. Along the way, take in breathtaking alpine views, waterfalls, glacier-fed lakes, old-growth forests, and rich wetlands.
Stay alert as you search for black bears, while also spotting osprey, deer, and coyotes in their natural habitat. This immersive experience offers a true connection to the wild and exceptional opportunities for photographers to capture stunning images.

Hi Sam. This is Lee. Our tour guide Sam was very helpful, knowledgable and friendly. The atmosphere was lighthearted and we got lucky and managed to see six black bears in total, two of them being cubs. I would definitely recommend this tour and if you don't see any bears, the magnificent views are beautiful to see.

Whistler Discovery Bear Tours was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide, Jess, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the local wildlife, making the whole experience both exciting and informative. She shared so much fascinating information about bears, and her enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. We were thrilled that by the end of the tour we had seen 5 bears in total! It was such an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend Whistler Discovery Bear Tours—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Jess as your guide!

We did the evening safari and were very satisfied. We saw 6 bears, including 3 cubs. The stop at the viewpoint, as well as the stop at the Alexander waterfall, were also very nice. We highly recommend the tour with guide Jess.

Jessie was a fantastic guide with great driving skills. She was very knowledgeable about the bears and successfully guided us in the car where we spent time obserbing the bears we found. It was fantastic and she also took us to a couple of local beauty spots.
