Located 80 kilometres north of Campbell River, British Columbia, is a wild and remote area of the Pacific Northwest known as Knight Inlet. As the longest fjord on the B.C. coast, Knight Inlet offers visitors spectacular scenery set against a backdrop of dramatic mountain peaks plunging into the Pacific Ocean. Situated 60 kilometres from the mouth of the inlet is Knight Inlet Lodge. This floating resort is tucked into Glendale Cove, which offers one of the few protected anchorages in the inlet, and it is here that you will begin each day's adventure.

The five partner First Nations who now own the Lodge – Da’naxda’xw Awaetlala, Mamalilikulla, Tlowitsis, Wei Wai Kum and K’ómoks – have been stewards of their traditional territories, including the region of Knight Inlet, for thousands of years. This ancient knowledge and experience is all now part of the Lodge experience.  All guest rooms feature comfortable queen size beds plus private washrooms with showers. The resort is finished with western cedar board and batten siding to give it a real west coast British Columbia look and feel. There are 2 outside deck areas, one complete with gas fireplace, for relaxing on those warm summer evenings.

Glendale Cove is home to one of the largest concentrations of grizzly (brown) bears in British Columbia. It is not uncommon for there to be up to 40 bears within 10 kilometres of the lodge in the peak autumn season, when the salmon are returning to the river. Although they are abundant in the autumn, it is not the only season that grizzly bears can be found in Glendale Cove. Starting in late April the bears return to the estuary from winter dens and start the year feeding on the sedges, succulents, grasses and barnacles that abound in the estuary. This luxuriant spring growth provides the basic nutritional needs for the bears which draws them from the mountains down to the estuary. This is the time to see, at close proximity, the tiny cubs emerge with their ever-cautious mothers.

In the summer the berry crop is very heavy and this helps keep the bears in the general area. You will not get the high numbers of the spring and late summer/autumn season viewing, but it is usual to see some bears every day. In the spring, you will set out in boats so that you can get close to the shore (50 metres) for a good view of the bears feeding. The early summer programme continues on the water as well, but if the opportunity arises there may be a chance to use the tree stands. By late August you will move to the platforms at the spawning channel.

As well as bear viewing, Knight Inlet offers a number of other tours including viewing for seals, sea lions, porpoises, dolphins and whales including orca, humpback and the occasional minke whale. In addition, they offer estuary tours, Knight Inlet marine tours, excursions to the upper reaches of Knight Inlet, and day trips to the Thompson and Bond Sounds as well as hiking and guided kayaking tours.
