Knowledgeable guide. Saw two cubs in a tree. Learned a lot. Drove in Whistler Olympic village. Also got to see ski jumps
This bear tour by jeep was great. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend to others.
Great excursion. We were collected from our apartment by our ranger. Joel. He was very knowledgeable, very entertaining and a pleasure to spend time with. His knowledge of the bears, nature and the park were first rate. We had a splendid evening.
I went for the morning tour...a great time.
Excellent staff, Steve and Kate providing a welcoming relaxed atmosphere , no rush when bears found and a determination to find some when we were initially they were in hiding, though once we’d spotted one more soon followed. A great evening knowledgable friendly staff .
Jeff the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. His off-road drivings skills were excellent and made for an exciting adventure.
Amazing Bear Safari Experience, we had covered all Forest Areas and found Bears very fast
Superb experience with a visit to the Olympic site. Mike was an excellent guide. And then after an hour, a magical encounter with 2 young black bear adults followed by a mother with her 2 cubs. Thank you, Mike, for this beautiful moment.
Whistler Photo Safari is a family-run local BC business and a must-do when visiting Whistler! I had several questions before booking, and Sherry was responsive, friendly, and made the booking process a breeze. The jeeps have removable roofs, allowing you to stand up and capture fantastic photos while enjoying amazing views of the bears. Jason was our guide, and he was both knowledgeable and passionate about bears and wildlife. We had a small group of just three people in our jeep, which made for a fun and personal experience, with plenty of shared laughs along the way. We saw a male bear grazing, and it was clear that the guides are very respectful of the environment, ensuring the bears have plenty of space and are never disturbed. We were also lucky enough to see a mama bear and her cub! The whole tour was an incredible experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Whistler.
A brilliant experience, we watched a bear foraging and wandering through the woods for 20 minutes. Chris W and Alex were friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the animals, making the trip all the more memorable. Thank you
