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

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!

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!

The wild salmon decline in recent decades has been a wake-up call. Through salmon enhancement projects and careful stewardship, we are working to rebuild their stocks, ensuring they continue to thrive for future generations. As we share these efforts with our guests, we aim to inspire a deeper understanding of the importance of wild salmon, not only to our people but to the health of the entire planet. How would wildlife viewing tourism do without wild salmon? #salmonislife #wildsalmon #fishsandwiches #smokedfish #yusa #rivers #sustainability #salmonprotection #seawolfadventures 📸 @dolfvermeulen

Honoring Salmon and the First Nations Who Protect Them. Salmon is life. It sustains the land, the waters, and all who depend on them. For countless generations, First Nations have stood as guardians of this sacred lifeblood, fighting tirelessly for the survival of our wild salmon.
Their efforts have not only protected a vital species but preserved the balance of entire ecosystems. Through their wisdom, resilience, and connection to these lands and waters, they remind us that salmon is more than sustenance—it is culture, identity, and tradition.
We honor the First Nations who have carried this fight, safeguarding the future of wild salmon for all species and all people. Their legacy inspires us to continue the work of stewardship and ensure that salmon, the lifeblood of these territories, continues to thrive.
With gratitude and respect, we pay tribute to our chiefs and matriarchs for enduring commitment to salmon, to life, and to the land. Salmon Is Life! #salmonislife #seawolfadventures #protection #salmonstewardship #salmonwarriors Music by @garrettwilliemusic
