Some encouraging news for Salmon populations in BC courtesy of the talented @rolfhickerphotography
“The removal of fish farms has greatly impacted our bears in the Great Bear Rainforest.
Back in 2019, my photos highlighted the heartbreaking sight of starving bears due to a lack of salmon.
Yesterday, I had the incredible opportunity to join @seawolfadventures and visit X̱a̱ḵwika̱n in the Traditional Territories of the Kwakwaka’wakw People.
Seeing salmon leaping over waterfalls and grizzly bears enjoying a feast was a sight I hadn’t witnessed in years.
A huge thank you to Sherry and Alan for showing us the remarkable return of salmon and the healthier bears that come with it. 🙌
But our work isn’t done. Fish farms still operate around Knight Inlet, and the government has extended their “fade out period” for another 5 years. We need to act quickly—our bears might don’t have that much time left! 🕰️💪”

The Great Bear Rainforest Photography Tour is coming up! Here’s a little reminder of what’s out here!

Many many people have connected to this mountain, in the recent years, and it really is a special place in many hearts. But we’d like to share just the titbit of information on what this mountain means to us as the four tribes of the Dzawada̱`enux̱w. The Musg̱a̱makw Dzawada̱`enux̱w is: Kingcome, Gilford, Hopetown, and Wakeman. For millennia, we’ve paid respect to this mountain and what it represents. It is rich with Gwawa̱`enux̱w history which we uphold tremendously. Many non-Musg̱a̱makw, in recent times, have flown there, landed on there, got married on there, and therefore hold this mountain in high regard; it’s a special place that you can see from the Broughton Archipelago. This mountain is known to our people as K̕we and has a deep beautiful history! #seawolfadventures #swa #traveltruthbeauty #musgamakwdzawadaenuxw #kwe

It’s been amazing witnessing the comeback of our salmon in X̱a̱kwika̱n. A shout out to all of you that helped remove open net fish farms out of our territory; especially our own people. To witness wolves, in Grizzly Bear country, catch wild salmon is hard to put into words. We’ve never seen this pool so black with fish for such a long time. The baby salmon can now swim through our waters unharmed by the salmon factories; and this video shows the results! #seawolfadventures #traveltruthbeauty #wolves #kwikwasutinuxwterritory #salmon #saveoursalmon

Named after my daughter, Mayumi, our new canoe is very sophisticated; as you can see. Part of my daughter’s heritage brings her back to Japanese history. Mayumi means Truth and Beauty; which is so fitting in many ways. As we make the transition to these wonderful canoes, we hope for your understanding in seeing where we are wanting to bring our experiences to; the next level:) in the same breath, we’d like to honour our nephew @garrettwilliemusic for paving the way for indigenous blues/rock and expressing his own unique style of music! #seawolfadventures #traveltruthbeauty #mayumi #garrettwilliemusic 🎥 - @downtofilm

Looking for a boat that’s not just your run-of-the-mill, bobbing-on-the-water experience? Our vessels are the epitome of stability and reliability—think the Rolls-Royce of the sea. Luxurious doesn’t even begin to cover it; you’ll feel like Poseidon in a penthouse. And those diesel outboards? They’re the secret sauce that makes us different. Unique, you ask? We redefine the word. These boats are not just worthy; they cut through waves like a hot knife through butter.
But it’s not just about the ride. With Sea Wolf Adventures, you’re not just a passenger; you’re part of a proud First Nations journey. We invite you to experience our rich cultural heritage firsthand, from our traditional territories to our language and stories. Join us and turn the sea into your personal playground, while immersing yourself in the legacy of our ancestors. Sail with us, and let’s make waves—both literally and culturally.

We are very fortunate that Pacific White Sided Dolphins use our territory for their birthing places. Watching the adults teach their young ones how to hunt and how to use the art of synchronization to their advantage is priceless! #seawolfadventures #swa #traveltruthbeauty #gonorthisland #explorebc #explorecanada #dolphins #kwikwasutinuxwterritory
