Great Bear Lodge is a modest floating lodge in the Nekite Valley, just a short floatplane flight north of Port Hardy and offers fantastic bear viewing nearby.

The comfortable, self-contained, floating lodge has eight bedrooms, all of which have an en suite washbasin, shower and toilet. There is a central common area for regular wildlife presentations by the wildlife biologists who act as guides, and where you can enjoy gourmet meals over a complimentary glass of wine. 

There are two bear watching sessions per day, which are tailored to bear activity at the time. Viewing platforms and hides stragetically placed along the river offer excellent photographic opportunities.

Other activities include sea-kayaking and interpretative hikes. The lodge uses wind and solar power for lighting and electricity, and is fully committed to low environmental impact tourism.
