Grizzly bears don't actually hibernate.

What they do is called torpor. Their heart rate and breathing slow down dramatically, and they can go months in the den without eating or drinking, but their body temperature only drops a few degrees. True hibernators go much colder and much deeper than that. A grizzly can still wake up and move if it needs to.

The bears we visit in the Khutzeymateen spend the summer building up fat reserves on salmon, then settle into torpor for the winter, living off those reserves until spring. They'll be back out foraging along the shoreline when spring comes.

This Thanksgiving, we’re feeling deeply grateful for another season spent in the company of grizzlies, eagles and whales along the Inside Passage.

Thank you to everyone who spent a day with us on the water this season. You brought your curiosity and your respect for this coast, and that's what makes these tours what they are.

Here are a few of our favourite moments from the season. If you were out with us, we'd love to see the season through your eyes. Share or tag us in your favourite photos. We'll be looking through them all winter, already looking forward to next season!

Is it a humpback or an orca? From a distance, the blow is your first clue.

Orcas send up a short, quick blow low over the water, followed by that unmistakable tall triangular dorsal fin, up to 6 feet in adult males. They typically travel in pods, so spotting one fin usually means more are close by.

Humpbacks blow tall and columnar, sometimes visible from over a kilometre away. Their dorsal fin is small and stubby by comparison, set well back on a long black body, easy to miss next to an orca's.

Next time you're scanning the waters from the deck, let the shape of the blow tell you what you're looking at before the fin even shows.

Rugged coastlines. Quiet inlets wrapped in mist. Bald eagles soaring overhead, grizzly bears on the shore, whales surfacing in the Northern Inside Passage.

In Prince Rupert, BC, beauty is all around you at every turn.

Humpback whales surfacing out of the mist, orcas gliding past emerald islands and endless stretches of remote Northern BC coastline... it doesn't get much better than this.

Every fall, the salmon run turns our coastal rivers into a moving, living highway.

Bears wait at the cascades, forests soak up vital nutrients and in the ocean, orcas depend on the same fish to survive. One species, feeding an entire ecosystem.
