Tide Rip Grizzly Tours, Howard Pattinson

Tide Rip Tours offers the only day trips by water taxi from Telegraph Cove to see the grizzlies in Knight Inlet.

May to early September, grizzly bears along the beach roll rocks for eels. We view along side in large flat bottom boats with quiet electric motors.

By mid August the salmon are running into the river. Bears squabble over fishing hot spots. In September we see bears fatting up for winter hibernation.

Bears in sedge.
