Wildlife Viewing, First Nations Cultural Experiences, and Wilderness Safaris in the Great Bear Rainforest
Gilakas’la gaxa’a kus laxan’s awi’nagwis. Our people, part of the Kwakwaka’wakw, have looked after this land for thousands of years. In turn, the land has looked after us. Sustainability has always been a way of life for us and conservation is at the heart of everything we do here at Sea Wolf Adventures, just as it has been at the heart of our people for millennia.
Trusted to share our traditions and territories with guests, we invite you to join us on a journey through (Musgamakw Dzawada’enuxw Territory), also known as the Broughton Archipelago and the Great Bear Rainforest in Northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Along the way you’ll meet the awe-inspiring animals and incredible Indigenous people who call this beautiful place home.
All-Inclusive Lodge Packages
Day Tours
Enjoy the comfort of a luxury tour, guided by Indigenous experts who share the truth behind our travels through the islands. By training and employing our own people, we ensure that our guides understand the importance of responsibly visiting our land and respecting the wildlife that resides here.
Combining cultural experiences with grizzly bear and whale watching safaris, we welcome you to our home on a truly unique Indigenous-led adventure in Western Canada. We are proud of our roots and our commitment to give back to our communities by keeping our culture active through our Indigenous guides, who each play a role in keeping our traditions alive.
Hear the stories behind the scenery, support our local communities, and experience a sustainable approach to wildlife viewing that preserves our precious territory for generations to come.
Welcome to our home.
Today we had such a great trip with a boat full of @doetsreizen guests from the Netherlands! Hi @elskedoets😊
After a days work filming in the Great Bear Rainforest with @hawkanamorphic lenses!
Cinematic Tools in Wild Places
We recently had the privilege of hosting a group of filmmakers on board for a truly special project. What made it even more remarkable was seeing them bring Hawk Anamorphic lenses — some of the most coveted lenses in the film industry — onto our vessel.
These lenses are handcrafted by Vantage in Germany and are known for their iconic cinematic look: wide, immersive frames, beautiful lens flares, and a dreamy depth of field. They’ve been used on major motion pictures around the world, and it was incredible to see them at work here, in the heart of our coastal territory.
It’s not every day you see gear like this out on the ocean. We were proud to provide a platform for such a high-level production and can’t wait to see what they captured. @hawkanamorphic
Out here, we wait in silence.
The forest breathes, the river flows, and the salmon return.
With them come our relatives, the grizzlies.
Watching them step into the river to feed is where seeing and feeling intersect.
It’s not just wildlife viewing, it’s witnessing something sacred.
A moment of deep connection in a place that has sustained our people for generations.
Join us on the water and in the wild.
Experience the spirit of the Great Bear Rainforest with Sea Wolf Adventures. 📸 @westcoastlife

I want to dedicate this post to my good brother and friend Taylor Burk; someone with the rare gift of turning thoughts into images. With every click of his camera; he creates masterpieces; capturing moments that speak louder than words. He is always welcome in our territory; a place where stories live and the land remembers. #greatbearrainforest #gbrphototour #seawolfadventures #traveltruthbeauty #phototour #goindigenous 📸 - the man himself @taylormichaelburk
Sea Wolf Adventures at Sointula Lodge!
This September and October 2025, we’re thrilled to host our multi-day wildlife safaris from the stunning Sointula Lodge!
We’re excited about this special partnership and can’t wait to share our breathtaking territory and the incredible wildlife that call it home with our guests. #seawolflodge #seawolfadventures #traveltruthbeauty #newadventures #multidaytours #sointulalodge #reconciliacción #partnerships
Mama grizzlies are the matriarchs of the wild: gentle, fierce, fearless when needed, and devoted. With cubs at their side,they teach strength, survival, and the power of love. #seawolfadventures #swa #traveltruthbeauty #grizzlies #cubs #wildlifeplanet #gonorth
Grizzly bears feasting on salmon is a crucial cycle that sustains entire ecosystems. As bears catch and consume salmon, they transport nutrients from the rivers to the forests, enriching the soil and supporting plant and animal life. This ancient relationship not only ensures the survival of both species but also strengthens the delicate balance of the coastal rainforest. #seawolfadventures #swa #traveltruthbeauty #grizzlybear #gonorthisland #indigenousbc
Searching for the majestic scenery and gentle giants. As we move into the new year we get excited to get back out on the water in our territory! #seawolfadventures #swa #traveltruthbeauty #goindigenous #whalewatching #mayumi2.0 📸 - @dolfvermeulencreative
Salmon is life! Continuing to build the wild stocks is Paramount for our people and environment. Salmon restoration is what we do behind the scenes. We will continue to do this great work in the name of our ancestors. #seawolfadventures #swa #truthandbeauty #salmon #wildsalmon #protection #rebuilding
Yesterday while travelling up island, I couldn’t help but remember what role Telegraph Cove played for the beginning of Sea Wolf Adventures. Gordie was very kind and supported the cultural vision and allowed us to open up and start our tourism journey in the summer of 2013. After we were done our grand opening ceremonies, Gordie Graham, the owner of Telegraph Cove , said some very powerful words that supported cultural tourism. Telegraph Cove was a huge part of our beginning and we want to pay tribute to this beautiful place. North Island tourism is at a huge loss and we must do everything we can to come together, as north Islanders, to rebuild the legacy. We will do everything in our capacity to help with this and support Gordie and his family! Gilakas’la ‘Ni’na̱mukw. #rebuild #cometogether #remember #support #beautifuldestinations #gonorthisland #telegraphcove #vancouverislandnorth
Capture Great Moments and Cherish Them Forever
As the year draws to a close and a new one begins, there’s no better time to reflect on the incredible moments we’ve experienced and the beauty that surrounds us. Through photography, we can preserve these memories, turning fleeting instances into lasting treasures.
In the Great Bear Rainforest, every day offers a chance to witness nature at its finest—a grizzly fishing in the river, the mist rising over ancient trees, or the glow of the sunset on the water. Each moment tells a story, one that connects us to the land, the wildlife, and the culture that makes this place so extraordinary.
This New Year, let’s celebrate by embracing the power of photography to freeze time, allowing us to revisit these special moments and share them with loved ones. Here’s to a year full of adventure, beauty, and stories worth capturing. 📸 @graeme_o
Happy New Year!
