Photo Safari Grand Tour among Alberta and British Columbia

Grand tour Photo Safari among British Columbia

Alberta and Dinosaur Park

Western Canada is an astounding, magnificent land, composed of a kaleidoscopic set of environments. From the wild and stormy Pacific coast to the west of Vancouver Island and Queen Charlottes Islands to the north, the landscapes are astounding. You will marvel at the untouched Arctic Tundra of Nunavut, the Northwest Territories between Yukon and Alaska, and the largest and unspoiled National Park in Canada, the Nahanni National Park. Towards the south to the Okanagan’s arid dunes, you’ll find the best of Canada’s fruits and wines, and then move along to Canada’s version of the Alps – the Rocky Mountains. Here lie vast glaciers and magnificent forests, dotted with majestic centuries-old Sequoia and Red Cedar trees.
The Northern Pacific Coast is a region of hope and abundance that has inspired travellers and writers for centuries. The beautiful rivers of British Columbia are visited by thousands of passionate fishermen every year, who participate in the ritual ascent of millions of Pacific salmon – just one of the many wonders of this territory, which includes 6,000 Km of coastline and 1,800 waterways. Along with the salmon, many species of cetaceans live here, including the largest living creature on our planet, the blue whale. You can also spot gray whales, humpback whales, orcas and three types of dolphins. The Great Bear Rainforest – a famous reserve park inaugurated by WWF in 2004 and one of Canada’s conservation jewels – is host to wonderful creatures like giant moose, black-tail deer, grizzlies, black bears and Kermode bears. Also known as spirit bears, these are the white variant of the black bear that only exist in this region of the world and are extremely rare.

A trip to this land is comparable to what the wealthiest and most knowledgeable travellers of Europe (the “Grand Tour” of the eighteenth century) did in Egypt, Italy and Greece to rediscover the roots of our civilization. The main activities of this trip are eco-excursions and photo safaris. During this itinerary you will be in direct contact with rich, uncontaminated nature, and can partake in many outdoor activities including hiking, boating, horseback riding and kayaking to observe fascinating wildlife up close. Through this photo safari, you will get to know the beautiful and protected fauna of the Great Bear Rainforest, which is without a doubt one of the most pristine parks in North America. From the beautiful cliffs of the Pacific Rim, the mythical fossils of the Inside Passage, the winding valleys of the rich rivers of the north, to the mountain ranges of the Continental Divide on the Canadian Rockies your many photography excursions will allow you to discover a kind of nature with few equals in the world.
HAVE FUN!
