Whistler Bears, Fish, and Horses – Oh My!

For the animal lovers! Whistler is full of fun ways to interact with animals through a variety of different means. One of the best parts of choosing to experience any of these animal related activities is that you’ll truly be submerged in nature. Step outside of the village and maybe out of your comfort zone for a new Whistler experience!

Bear Viewing

“Did you see any bears?” This is the very question that you will get asked or have been asked by family and friends upon your return home from Whistler. While the Whistler valley does have a lot of Black Bears, there is no grantee that you’ll see one every trip with out putting in a bit of effort. If seeing your very first bear or seeing your fiftieth bear is something you plan on doing on your next Whistler trip, we’ve got you covered. Daily tours head out of the Callaghan Valley with one purpose in mind, bear viewing. Jump into a 4x4 Jeep and buckle up for an off road adventure. Your tour guide will take the Jeep for a climb to the top of the Olympic Ski Jumps for endless vista views in all directions. You’ll explore valley bottoms filled with running springs and wild flowers. All of this beauty is just part of the adventure to find the bears in their natural habitat. Knowledgeable guides will be sure to tell you all about the land, the views, the vegetation and of course about the bears! Choose from a two or three hour tour at various times of the day for different viewing adventures each navigating through different terrain to see different bear activity.
